Very friendly guide with excellent knowledge and most personable. Got to see two grizzly bears, numerous bison , and elk.
This was an amazing day at Yellowstone. Our tour guide James was a wealth of knowledge. He did not stop giving us facts and fun information about the park. We covered many famous sights. It was a full day from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Breakfast muffins were fresh from a local bakery, lunch was fresh from a local deli and plenty of water. I could not have asked for a better day!!
Highly recommend this excellent tour of the lower loop! Our guide, James, was extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and all aspects of the park. There’s no way we could have seen everything we saw without his guidance.
The tour was fantastic! Super informative with a good amount of variety throughout the day. Our guide, James, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and great with my kids. We were able to see a good amount of wildlife, including both bear species, and my youngest loved seeing all the geysers. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone. It was a great introduction to Yellowstone.
We had a fantastic time! One of the best tours we have been on! Our quite was Dallan and he was so knowledgeable about the area and took us to all the places we wanted to go, we saw all the highlights Grand Canyon, Prismatic, and we saw a grizzly bear! The tour is a must especially as it was our first time.
You can expect breathtaking views and an incredibly knowledgeable staff. Our driver and guide, James, was amazing from the moment he picked us up. We saw so much of the park and learned so much throughout the tour. James took great care of us and knew all the best spots for wildlife viewing. We were lucky enough to see multiple bears, elk, bison, deer, and even wolves. It was an incredible experience and I highly recommend this tour!
There is not another way I would want to see Yellowstone! Our guide Ed was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area, plus he was FUN!!! We saw and learned so much!!!
Great way to tour Yellowstone and see the sights. Our guide, Nevaeh, was friendly and very knowledgeable and accommodating. We learned a lot and saw quite a bit of wildlife, including a grizzly bear!
We had a great day with our guide, Eddy. He’s knows every corner of the park and has lots of background knowledge and is a pleasure to be around. Highly recommend this tour!
My wife and I had a full day of great sights in Yellowstone National Park delivered by our tour guide- Eddy. His knowledge of the area was beyond everyday common knowledge. He knew the back stories, facts and relayed personal experiences in the park. Eddy helped put the wow in stops at Old Faithful, the Upper and Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the various geysers. The tour added so much more to our time in Yellowstone.
