An enjoyable trip with our tour guide, Ms Hannah. Pickup was punctual & the journey was pleasant. Hannah was a fantastic guide explaining to us all about the Yosemite. The hike to see Giant Sequoia was around 3.5km & we sweat a lot after the end of hike. Yosemite Valley with waterfall & the scenery was splendid..Two thumbs up for this trip!

We start our trip from Hilton Union Square. The transport arrived on time & Hannah was our driver & tour guide. Total 13 of us in mini bus. Overall, a really pleasant & enjoyable trip with Hannah. Bear in mind there is around 3.5km of slope walking to visit the Giant Sequoia trees (our 1st long stop inside the park), so need to wear comfy attires as you will likely perspire.... Our time at the Yosemite valley is the most memorable & the main target of this trip. Overall, a very good experience for this trip. Two thumbs up!!

2025 ✈️ Helicopter Tour Over the Grand Canyon – A Dream Come True with My Son! 🚁 June 2025, an unforgettable day in Las Vegas. The helicopter tour with my son was like a scene from a movie. Flying over the red-tinted Grand Canyon, I could feel the wonder of nature with my whole body, and the champagne and picnic we enjoyed after landing were perfect. 👨‍👦 It was a moment that my son and I will remember for a lifetime. #Helicopter_tour_is_a_must #Precious_memories_with_my_son #Grand_Canyon_emotion --- ✈️ Helicopter Tour Over the Grand Canyon – A Dream Come True with My Son! 🚁 June 2025, an unforgettable day in Las Vegas. The helicopter tour with my son felt like stepping into a Hollywood movie. Soaring above the crimson cliffs of the Grand Canyon was a surreal experience, filled with awe and wonder. From the breathtaking aerial views to the champagne and picnic at the landing site – everything was picture-perfect. 👨‍👦 A memory my son and I will treasure for a lifetime. #HelicopterTourMustDo #FatherSonTrip #UnforgettableGrandCanyon

This tour is definitely worth your money. Thanks also to one of our guides Roberto for doing a fantastic job. The tour is so much fun especially the golden gate bridge tour, sanfo bay cruise, and yosemite.

This 3 day tour is super worth it. We loved all the places visited including the stop overs. Even if we had senior and child in the group, everybody enjoyed the tour. And the guides were great especially Roberto. We highly recommend this tour.

the trip was prefect and highly recommended! I have been to Grand Canyon before but the view on the sky are totally different, the pilot explain about the spot when we fly through and the experience is totally one of the highlight during my visit on Vegas. 😍😍😍 The view is just stunning and can’t really move my eyes away from the window. I chose 5:30pm slot and also get a chance to see the sunset + city night view, definitely a plus to the whole journey. 😌🤩(you have the offer to upgrade to the front seat which u get the same view with pilot, I recommend you to do so coz the view angle is impressive - luckily I got free upgrade but I think I will still pay for upgrade next time🤪)
