The most amazing day ever okay

5.00Our tour guide Elena was so informative and hilarious and made the trip even more spectacular. For going in the first day of the park being open, we got to see some incredible things that we would never experience.If we had gone later in the year. Our guide helped us out and let us experience things that we would not have seen on our own. One hundred percent worth the money.And the time.
Elena really made this...

5.00Yellowstone was breathtaking. We missed the crowds by going in October which was great. Out guide, Kat, was amazing! Super knowledgeable about all the water and volcanic features of Yellowstone. We saw bison up close, elk, ravens everywhere, and even a grizzly bear. Unforgettable experience.

5.00We had the best time on our tour! Our guide Shawn was the best guide we have ever had and we have traveled extensively both in the US and internationally. He was so very knowledgeable of the historical significance of Yellowstone as well as the descriptions of each location we visited. He was very attentive of all our questions and our needs He even answered questions about Montana and the surrounding area near Yellowstone. Plenty of bathroom breaks and chances to get out of our van to stretch our legs. The van can supplied with plentiful snacks, binoculars and umbrellas. We highly recommend this tour. It was 11 hours well spent, traveling from Big Sky our pick up location and returning to Big Skk that evening. This tour met and exceeded our expectations.
Excellent trip and guide!

5.00We enjoyed our safari tour of Yellowstone. Our guide Maia was wonderful. There were many viewing of animals, birds, geysers, hot spring pools and waterfalls. Artist point is a must see besides Old Faithful which we had a very nice boxed lunch overlooking Old Faithful, just breathtaking!
Worth it!

5.00Excellent experience on all counts. Our guide, Nate, was extremely knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information. The tour was paced according to the group with plenty of snacks and drinks available plus a wonderful picnic lunch. The duration is probably a bit long for very young children, but older ones should be fine. Overall, very enjoyable and extremely well run!
Great tour guide!

5.00I was very impressed at the knowledge base of our tour guide. There was basically nonstop information at every turn. It was very clear that she spent a lot of time learning all there is to know about the park and its history. We had plenty of time to see everything there was to see in the park. Our guide was clearly passionate about her profession and made the tour quite interesting. Keep in mind, anyone can drive through the park. What you're paying for here is the narration and history. If the price isn't prohibitive for you and you appreciate the knowledge you'll receive on this tour, then this is a win for you.
