We had a great day with Tracy. It was a personalized tour because there was only 3 of us. We drove 400 kms for the day and did not see any bison. We saw scat so we knew they were around. We just did not get lucky enough to see one. We stopped for photo opportunities and we had a picnic lunch. We were gone well over 4 hours. Tracy had the time so we were able to add a couple more stops to make the day! It was great! Tracy knows her stuff and we learned alot along the way.

The Yellowknife Bison Highway Tour included driving alongside Great Slave Lake, enjoying the landscape, and the thrill of seeing the majestic bison in their natural environment. Tracy Therrien, bucketlisttour.com, made the journey more special by sharing her insights of Yellowknife, best eating places, etc., as well as a light picnic lunch. Another standout moment was the Cozy Cabin tour. The cabin was warm and full of charm. The evening was filled with some "wow" moments...a wedding proposal under the Aurora that left most of us teary-eyed, a surprise birthday celebration, complete with candles & cake, a guest sharing photography tips to help better capture the Northern Lights, and even a rack of fur coats, adding a fun and look authentic northern touch. The midnight lunch of fresh baked bannock and fish chowder was yummy. Tracy has a gift for creating not just a tour, but a memorable and fun experience among strangers who quickly felt like friends. She really cares about her guests having the best experience in Yellowknife. Thank you Tracy for a memorable time and the pleasure of meeting you.

The guide was kind. (I don't speak English, but they were friendly) I was glad to see the bison, the weather was good and the picnic lunch was prepared.

Actually I didn't have the opportunity to see the bisons, tour was canceled due to lack of participants. Tracy was amazing,went above and beyond and offered me to join for free a City tour happening that day,I payed just my admission to the Mining Museum. Tracy is very knowledgeable, down to earth easy to speak to,always having a plan B. I did the tour the previous day with a different guide,Tracy offered a different perspective and local information just a passionate can provide. Following day I did the Cameron falls tour,Tracy exceeding again all the expectations,she wears her soul on her sleeve.Showing us her cabin at the end of the tour,Tracy gave us the taste to maybe come one day to see Lady Aurora and enjoy more quality time.If you are looking for excellence, Tracy is the one to give a call.

We had a wonderful time with Tracy, looking for bison and other wildlife. Lunch beside the lake was great but the best was the conversations we had with Tracy. I think she knows everyone in Yellowknife past and present and has some great stories. My wife and I highly recommend !

We ended up on a private tour and were lucky enough to see over 40 bison. Our guide also gave us some local history, recommendations for other days, and drove us by a few attractions.
