From the moment we were picked up until we were dropped off, everything about this Yellowstone tour was seamless. Our guide, Ryder, had just graduated from college in Oklahoma and decided to spend his summer showing people the beauty of Yellowstone before beginning his master’s program. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Ryder was polite, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the park. What I appreciated most was that if there was something he didn’t know, he simply said so instead of making something up. That honesty was refreshing and made us trust everything he shared even more. He knew all of the best stops, the perfect places to take photos, and offered great advice throughout the day. One piece of advice I’ll never forget was at Lower Falls. He told us not to look at the falls until we were directly in front of them. He was absolutely right. Seeing them head-on for the first time was an exhilarating experience. The overwhelming power and beauty of the falls hit all at once, and it was one of the most memorable moments of our trip. Ryder also made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day, with plenty of bathroom breaks and enough time at each stop to enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. The provided lunch was excellent and far beyond the typical sack lunch. It included a delicious sandwich, fresh strawberries, a brownie, a bag of chips, and bottled water—everything we needed to keep going for a full day of exploring. The tour took up most of the day and showcased some of the most breathtaking scenery I’ve ever seen. If you’re considering a guided tour of Yellowstone, I highly recommend this company. And if you’re lucky enough to get Ryder before he heads off to his master’s program, you’re in for an unforgettable day.
Joel was amazing and everyone should request him as their tour guide! He truly was the best!!! 🦬🏔️
Aaron our tour guide was very knowledgeable but you need to listen. Pay attention and look at your surroundings
It was nice to have a knowledgeable guide to help you see the park. Our guide shared much information that we would not have known on our own.
It was a great opportunity to see all the big attractions in the park. Darren was a great tour guide. I would definitely recommend this tour.
This was our 2nd time to use this group and both times were great! The guides are so knowledgeable about the area and the history that I can’t imagine going it alone and all that would be missed. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed learning about the park from Ethan. We were fortunately to see a great deal of wildlife. We were staying in Big Sky and Ethan picked us up at Town Center, which made the day a lot easier. Yellowstone gets REALLY crowded and have a tour we were able to be dropped off and not have to wait for a space to open up. The sack lunch was good and filling.
There was a mix up in our reservation. But the company made everything right. It was a great day with Ryder being a great guide!!
Chase and Chris were great tour guides. This was an amazing adventure. I loved the fact of able to leave the driving and parking to someone else.
We enjoyed this tour and were happy with the service we received. The tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. We had a good time, but was tired after a long day. Ps. Box lunch was much better than expected. Food was fresh and delicious.
