What To Expect
Yellowstone National Park
On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. We'll be exploring the Lower Loop of Yellowstone National Park on your tour! You will get to experience a little of everything that makes Yellowstone National Park so famous: wildlife, geysers (including Old Faithful), waterfalls, and unforgettable scenery. Opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River.
Old Faithful
The most famous geyser in the world, Old Faithful geyser was named for its frequent and somewhat predictable eruptions, which number more than a million since Yellowstone became the world’s first national park in 1872. Guests will be able to watch Old Faithful erupt from the nearby wooden boardwalk and check major bucket list item off their list!

5.00Best tour ever taken - the guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, and enjoyable to be with all day! We saw the largest herd of moose we could have ever imagined, along with bison, and Yellowstone was phenomenal. This tour was the highlight of our trip.
Phil the best tour guide!

5.00My wife and I did this tour with Phil as our tour guide. Phil was very knowledgeable not just with the things we saw but also with the history behind everything as well. Being that it was the end of the season, whenever there was a group of people gathered in one spot, Phil pulled over to check it out as well and we were able to get a photo of a great gray owl! Phil made sure we got the best experience we could and we did! We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide! Thanks Phil for everything and I will see you in Alaska!
Amazing tour experience !

5.00Phil is an amazing guide. His deep knowledge of both Yellowstone and Grand Teton NPs along with his understanding of the ecology, history and geology of both held our interest throughout the day and made for a fascinating tour experience. He knew when and where to find wildlife -and we saw everything we’d hoped to see- even a great grey owl and two moose sparring ! He’s also a good guy to spend several hours with - great stories about both parks and a sense of humor. We highly recommend booking with him if you are visiting Jackson/The Tetons/Yellowstone.

5.00We just wrapped up our incredible Yellowstone tour yesterday, and I can't recommend our guide, Kyle, highly enough. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about all things Yellowstone and so patient, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and had a fantastic time. The tour vehicle was excellent, and the perk of unlimited snacks and beverages (water and soda) was a thoughtful touch! Our day was perfectly split: • Morning: Dedicated to incredible wildlife viewing. • Afternoon: Exploring various amazing tourist spots. Seeing Old Faithful erupt was truly worth the wait, a definite highlight of the day. We took so many beautiful photos, and Kyle was generous enough to share some stunning captures from his own camera lens! If you're planning a trip to Yellowstone, book a tour with Kyle—it's an experience that is highly recommended!
Five stars for Kelsey!!!

5.00We had the most incredible experience on our full-day Yellowstone tour with Kelsey! From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of energy. Her passion for the park really showed — she knew all the best spots, hidden gems, and perfect photo stops. Kelsey made the day so enjoyable with her storytelling, fun facts about the wildlife and geology, and her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and included. She made sure we saw so much without ever feeling rushed. It truly felt like exploring Yellowstone with a friend who happens to know everything about the park. If you’re considering a tour, ask for Kelsey — she made our trip unforgettable!

5.00We took a tour of Yellowstone with Phil who was INCREDIBLE! He was knowledgeable about history, about nature and about the wildlife. He was friendly and funny! We were able to see many highlights that you would hope to see in Yellowstone park and it fully lived up to our dreams. Even better- Phil was able to point out wildlife that we may not have noticed on our own and thank God he did. Elk, bison and bear, OH MY! We could not have asked for a better guide or a better day exploring.

5.00We did a private day tour of Yellowstone from Teton Village. Our guide, Kaya, is a biologist and was a wonderful guide - knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She really took care to find the animals, 2 grizzly bears, bugling elk, pronghorn antelope. The bison were right by the road. There were binoculars that we could use, and she set up a telescope too. It was great to have someone explain about the waterfalls, geysers and other features. The van was comfortable with water, drinks and other snacks. The picnic lunch was a basic deli sandwich, but we ate on the Old Faithful Inn balcony with a view of the famous geyser. It was well worth it to have someone do all the driving and know where to go. It was a great day.
All that we had hoped for!

5.00Our 4-day, 3-night tour of Grand Teton and Yellowstone was all that we had hoped for. Kyle Boese, our driver and guide, was a pleasant and knowledgeable young man and had a great sense of humour. We were a group of 7 from different parts of the US and Australia and he was patient and polite to us all and he also respected our safety. Kyle's enthusiasm for the National Parks and the wildlife was infectious and made the trip exciting. He gave us lots of interesting information and could answer all questions that he was asked. We had a great time wildlife spotting and seeing other sights of these spectacular National Parks. We even experienced the first snow of the season in Yellowstone! We will have no hesitation in recommending Brushbuck and Kyle to others.
