The meeting time seems early, but the guide is polite and confirms your participation. There is no problem on the way because the driver will give you instructions and give you guidance. On the way there, we stopped at a supermarket around 8:00 for a toilet break and breakfast. After that, we went non-stop to Yosemite. After arriving at Yosemite, there is enough time for photography and guiding. There is about 3 hours of free time. It is not too long and not too short, it is just right. On the way back, we will stop at a supermarket for about 30 minutes for a toilet break and dinner. We will disband around 9:00 pm. Overall, it was a satisfying experience and I was able to see breathtaking views, which was a lifetime experience.

This day tour is nothing short of amazing! Our tour guide and driver Chad is very friendly, knowledgeable, approachable, professional and drives safely. The amount of snacks and drinks provided to us were plenty and lasted us, the whole group, the whole day with some to spare and Chad gladly offered some of it for us to take home!

The trip to the Grand Canyon is amazing and marvels at the wonders of nature. However, people who are prone to motion sickness are advised to take motion sickness pills in advance to enjoy this wonderful helicopter journey.
