Great tour
We were a group of eight and we had a a fantastic experience with this tour. Our guide was everything we had hoped for; timely, knowledgeable and entertaining. She took us to all the spots that were tourist worthy and we got to see and experience Yellowstone the best possible way.

Great Tour
Outstanding! Private tour that allowed us to customize what we wanted to see. We saw wildlife and all the beautiful sites. Our guide, Soriyia, was excellent. Highly recommend.

We learned so much from our Souther Loop Yellowstone Tour!
This was our second worthwhile tour with Tied to Nature in Yellowstone park. John B. Was a wealth of knowledge as our guide! He took us to all of the important stops (waterfalls, geothermal locations, and more) and filled us in on the important history and science of all of these areas. There wasn’t one question of ours he couldn’t answer. John spoke clearly so everyone in the van could hear and was engaging with our three kids too! We had a wonderful day touring and definitely feel that it was more than worth the investment to get the most out of our time in Yellowstone.

Wonderful and tailored to our needs
John Bybee accompanied us on our private and comfortable tour of Yellowstone. My husband is disabled and can’t walk more than a block or two, and John knew this and accommodated our needs perfectly! We saw everything we were hoping to see (escort a moose!) and John’s encyclopedic commentary was really appreciated! He could address nearly everything we asked about ! Complete with dates and names (often including middle initials!) of individuals including explorers and Presidents, wives and children.. John’s fund of knowledge is incredible! He knows his botany too! And I think history is his strength. But his geological knowledge base seems astounding, too. He is personable and polite and patient. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We had John for three tours and after day 1, we were so happy to see him each time. Two tours in Yellowstone and one in Grand Tetons. Wonderful, all. (We had a wildlife tour with Bryan. I’ll review that under that topic. Equally good and very different skill set.)

Yellowstone with the family
We have been telling all our friends about this wonderful tour and our guide, John. It was a private tour for 14 of us ranging in age from 4 to 72. So glad we started with pick up at 6 AM otherwise we would not have seen the wildlife that John pointed out for us—moose, coyote, elk, prong horns, etc. He knew the best spots and the most interesting topographical features to see. We hit Old Faithful at the perfect time and he had lunch waiting for us in the shade of the Old Faithful Inn Deck. The younger kids were full of questions one after the other. And our pregnant daughter wasn’t feeling well. John was patient and went with the flow. All of us loved that day and will remember it for a long time to come.

Fantastic Yellowstone Tour!
We toured with Jarrod and not only was he a fantastic tour guide, but he's also just a great guy and fit in well with our group. Very knowledgeable and took us to the best places for our one-day tour. Got to see ample wildlife and had an overall wonderful day at Yellowstone. Highly recommend Tied to Nature!

Memorable Trip!
I am so glad that my sister and I followed up with booking a tour with Tied to Nature, as recommended by friends! Jared, our guide, was so knowledgeable and knew just where to take us to see everything we had hoped to. I know that we would not have seen half of the places he took us to. I am always the driver, so I miss a lot that way. It was wonderful to have a driver, so I could take in the majesty of the park. The pictures we got were amazing! He truly made it a memorable trip. Thanks Jared, and Tied to Nature! I will recommend you to everyone I know that is making that trip. ps....the sandwiches and snacks were a welcome treat!
