プライベートイエローストーン国立公園ツアー（アッパーループ）

Hi Panagiotis, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and recommendation! We're delighted to hear that you had such a memorable day exploring Yellowstone with Rose. Yellowstone is full of unforgettable moments, and spotting a bear alongside bison and elk certainly makes for an incredible day. We're glad you enjoyed the relaxed pace of the tour, the opportunity to view wildlife through our spotting scopes, and the comfort of traveling in one of our SUVs. From breakfast and a picnic lunch to thoughtful planning throughout the day, our goal is to ensure our guests can enjoy the experience while we take care of the details. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Rose. She has a genuine passion for Yellowstone and loves helping guests discover what makes this remarkable place so special. Thank you again for choosing Obsidian Expeditions. It was our pleasure to share Yellowstone with you, and we wish you safe travels and many more adventures in the years ahead. Best wishes, Stace

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and can certainly understand how disappointing that must have been, especially on your 15th wedding anniversary. That said, we're concerned this review may have been intended for another tour operator, as the circumstances you described do not align with how Obsidian Expeditions operates. We exclusively offer private tours and never combine unrelated guests to create a departure. Whether your party consists of one guest or fourteen, your tour is guaranteed to operate once your reservation is confirmed. We would never cancel a tour because there were "not enough people." Our reservation process also includes several points of contact before your tour. Shortly after booking, we reach out to learn about your travel plans, arrival details, mobility considerations, dietary restrictions, and any special occasions we can help celebrate. Had we known you were visiting for your 15th anniversary, we would have made every effort to make it memorable—often with special touches such as a celebratory toast and dessert, and, when appropriate, one of our most experienced guides or an owner personally leading the experience. We have carefully reviewed our records and cannot locate a reservation matching the circumstances described. If you believe this review was intended for Obsidian Expeditions, we would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to investigate further. Please contact us directly with the name on the reservation and your tour date so we can review what occurred. If this review was accidentally posted to the wrong company, we kindly ask that you consider updating or relocating it so future travelers have an accurate understanding of the experience we provide. Best, Stacy Noland

Thank you, Susan, for your thoughtful review and for spending the day exploring Yellowstone with us. Yellowstone is one of the few places on Earth where geology, wildlife, and history come together in such spectacular fashion, and we're delighted to hear that Mark helped bring those stories to life. Understanding why geysers erupt, mud pots bubble, and fumaroles vent steam often transforms a beautiful landscape into something truly unforgettable. We're also glad he was able to capture photographs of your adventure along the way. Some of the best souvenirs from a national park are the memories—and the photos that help preserve them for years to come. Thank you again for choosing Obsidian Expeditions. We hope Yellowstone is just the beginning of your journey with us. When you're ready for your next adventure, we'd love to introduce you to the glaciers of Glacier National Park, the red rock wonders of Utah's Mighty Five, the Badlands and Black Hills, or the wild coastlines and forests of the Pacific Northwest. Until then, safe travels, and we hope to welcome you, your friends, and your family on another adventure in the future. Stace

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Dennis. We're glad to hear Nate helped provide a well-rounded day exploring Yellowstone's incredible wildlife, scenery, and geothermal features. We appreciate you choosing Obsidian Expeditions and wish you safe travels on your future adventures.

Thank you, Jason, for your thoughtful review and for choosing Obsidian Expeditions during your visit to Yellowstone. We're honored you trusted us to make the most of your one full day in the park. We're delighted to hear that Mark's knowledge, efficiency, and personable approach helped you experience so much of Yellowstone in a single day. With limited time, every stop matters, and it's rewarding to know you left feeling like you experienced the very best the park has to offer. Yellowstone is just the beginning of the story. We'd love the opportunity to welcome you back for another adventure—whether it's exploring the towering peaks of Glacier National Park, the breathtaking landscapes of Utah's Mighty Five, the rich history of the Badlands and Black Hills, or the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Thank you again for your recommendation. It means the world to our small team. We hope you'll keep us in mind for your future adventures and encourage your friends and family to discover these remarkable places with us as well. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again soon! Stace

Vyjayanti, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're delighted to hear you had a great trip and that Rose helped make your day in Yellowstone so memorable. Rose has a genuine passion for Yellowstone, its wildlife, and the stories that bring the park to life. We're glad her knowledge, cheerful personality, and keen eye for wildlife made such a positive impression. Capturing those special moments with great photos is just another way she enjoys helping our travelers take a piece of Yellowstone home with them. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! Stace

Angie, Thank you for taking the time to share this. The Upper Loop is at its best when the wildlife cooperates, and it sounds like the day delivered in full. Seeing bears, bison, osprey, and more in a single outing is exactly why that corridor is so special. We’re glad the private format worked well for your pace and comfort, and that your guide was able to balance the logistics of the day—meals, timing, and stops—with getting you into the right areas at the right moments. I’ll pass your feedback along to Rose Sower. Appreciate you choosing Obsidian Expeditions, and we’re glad the day matched what you were hoping to experience in Yellowstone. Come back and see us again sometime soon, in Glacier, the Badlands, or the Utah Mighty Five National Parks. Happy travels, Stace

Hi Vicki, Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! It truly made our day to read. Mark is passionate about sharing the wonders of the natural world, and knowing that you got to witness such an incredible array of wildlife — bears, bison, wolves, and so much more — makes all the early mornings and careful planning so worthwhile. We'll be sure to pass along your wonderful words to Mark. Guests like you are the reason he loves what he does. We hope your paths cross with nature again soon, and that we get to be a part of your next adventure! Team Obsidian Expeditions

Thank you again, Yuliia, for taking the time to leave a second review—it means a lot to us. We’re really glad you enjoyed the organization of the tour, the selected viewing spots, the vehicle comfort, and the flow of the day. Finding the right balance between information, timing, and wildlife viewing is exactly what we aim for. And of course, Yellowstone delivered on the wildlife—there’s nothing better than getting those memorable photo moments in such a wild setting. We truly appreciate you joining us, and we hope to see you again for another adventure in the Greater Yellowstone region. Warm regards, Stace

Joshua and Letha, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review—and more importantly, for being such great guests to spend time with in the field. That was truly one of those rare Yellowstone days. Seeing five grizzly bears, five wolves, hundreds of bison, mountain goats, elk, eagles, pronghorn, and osprey all in a single tour is something we never take for granted. Moments like that are a reminder of just how wild and alive this ecosystem still is. We also appreciate your good humor and resilience in handling the lingering cold winter weather in spring—it definitely adds character to the experience out here. Most of all, thank you for trusting us to guide your time in Yellowstone and for your kind words about the experience. We’d be glad to welcome you and your family back anytime. And next time, we’ll aim to raise the bar again (no promises Yellowstone will cooperate, but we’ll try). Don’t be strangers. Warm regards, Stace
