Nakul was a wonderful tour guide who led our 55 year plus group of 13 through magnificent scenery along the gorges. He was considerate of our pace and made sure we got great pictures guiding us to the best spots. He was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to talk with. The lunch provided was really good too. I highly recommend this tour it’s not too difficult and it allows you to really experience the amazing colors that made this land to be chosen as the first national park in the world.

He was so knowledge and friendly, taking time to explain things to us who are newer to this type of experience. He answered all of our questions, took us to see amazing views, stopping at a few extra spots since we were hiking at a pace ahead of schedule. He stopped when we would see or hear wildlife, explaining what they were doing and the safety precautions we should take (distance, they are prepping for hibernation so even if we are the right distance still move along if they look disturbed or annoyed) Overall would recommend any tour with him and would do it again when I come back for my second visit!

Absolutely fantastic hike with Dallas yesterday. We were very nervous about the bears but he easily put our minds at ease and provided bear spray for whoever wanted it. The hike itself was fantastic - such various and beautiful scenery. Dallas was a wonderful, knowledgeable and interesting guide. A must do if you’re in Yellowstone!

This was a gorgeous hike with incredible views. Karlie was our favorite guide from our week of tours in the park. She was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, plants, and geography of Yellowstone. She was so personable and we loved spending the day with her. The hike was well paced through the canyon and Hayden Valley. It was great to get away from the crowds. On our hike we got to see a few marmots, a black tailed weasel, and some birds, all of which Karlie helped us identify. She also pointed out many animal tracking marks that brought the valley to life. Our lunch break was lakeside with great sandwiches and snacks. Would highly recommend!

This was an amazing walk with fantastic scenery, which also gave an opportunity to escape the crowds. If you’re worried about bears, this is also a great option as you are walking in a group with an experienced guide. Nuk was a fantastic guide and highly knowledgeable about all aspects of Yellowstone National Park. Definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the park.
