Our trip took us through San Francisco, where we got to see everything that makes this city so special: the Golden Gate Bridge, the little cable cars, the city's unique charm. Las Vegas, the city of superlatives. Without our guide, we would never have experienced the city in such a breathtaking way. He took us to other hotels, which were all connected in some way, and showed us Venice and some amazing restaurants. Wow. The next stops took us back to nature. Absolutely incredible. The Grand Canyon. We visited three places and saw three completely different faces. First, everything was red, deep and wide. Then everything was sandstone and the rocks formed bizarre images. And antelopes... The locals showed us a world that was hard to comprehend, that this beauty was created by nature itself. That was our most beautiful experience.
