What a fantastic day with Mikki showing us all the sight and sounds of the Grand Tetons area. Mikki did a great job showing us all areas of the park and the knowledge of photography and wildlife will probably be unmatched. Thank you for a great day and experience that we will not forget.
Thanks Steve, I will pass this on to Mikki. I'm glad you had a great time and I hope it set you up to further explore the park during the rest of your time here.
Beautiful morning, elk sighting, eagle, bison and a beautiful grizzly bear.
Bedankt Dinny. Ik heb een geweldige ochtend gehad met jou en Peter. Ik ben zo blij dat de grizzly ons een plezier deed en besloot de weg weer over te steken. Cheers Liam (I hope Claude speaks better Dutch than I do!)
Guides of Jackson Hole created an extraordinary experience for our family. We did a full day TNP tour, a full day Yellowstone tour, and an evening wildlife watching tour in TNP. On all of the tours we saw multiples grizzlies and great behavior, and multiple other species. Our guide was super informative about all aspects of the ecosystem and park system - and tailored the tour to our family's interests, including swapping playlists with our teenager and keeping everyone engaged on different topics on long drives. He also helped us with our photography and shared his lens and his own gorgeous photos from the day (including some of our family) - and we are so grateful for the beautiful record of our time there! Another distinguishing feature of this company is that we had some unexpected changes in our schedule and Guides of Jackson Hole was very understanding and accommodating, which we really appreciated. I can't imagine there is another company that would deliver as great an experience as they do, on all fronts!
Thanks Kim, Dealing with the unexpected is all part of the service we hope to offer. I so glad we were a help rather than a hassle, and Trevor and your son got to bond in such a special way. He had his own grizzlypalooza, and the bear at Flagg is one of the most handsome ones we have in the area.
Highly recommend booking this tour when visiting The Grand Tetons. Our guide, Mikki, was so knowledgeable. Not only did we see a ton of wildlife, we also viewed some of the best spots for breathtaking photography. We learned about the history of the area, and Mikki was very knowledgeable about the animals, terrain, etc. We stopped along the way to have a nice picnic lunch and enjoy the amazing weather. We had such an amazing experience.
Thanks Jennifer, we are lucky to have an award-winning photographer like Mikki working for us: She adds an extra dimension to the experience.
This is a great tour. Our guide Benji was friendly and very knowledgeable. We saw bison, pronghorns, moose and black bears. On top of all the wildlife we saw, Benji knew all the great spots for truly fabulous photos of all the park had to offer. In addition to the beautiful awe inspired views, Benji also shared the history of the park, geology and forestry. This was a truly magnificent day spent with a guide who loves what he does, and shared that passion with us. Top notch, highly recommend.
Thanks Dave. Benji loved his time with you too. This tour really does give you time to explore all the backroads in the park. I'm glad you got to make the most of it.
