5.00A great tour with Burns touring the lower loop of the Yellowstone Park. There were only 4 of us on the tour so it was like having a private guide.
Awesome day with Hot Spot Tours

5.00We had an awesome day with "Dave" from Hot Spot Tours. Dave really took care of us. He took us around adding interesting comments and history. He went out of his way to show us a bear and stopping whenever possible to point out: Elk, Deer and Bison. He also showed us the Prismatic Springs, the Mud Pits and of course Old Faithful (and told us the best viewing and picture spots). I would highly recommend Hot Spots Tours
Great Tour!!

5.00Mike very positive and knowledgeable. We gained a lot of interesting insights about YNP. We even enjoyed his jokes. When out of the can, he walked with us and was still giving us park information. Stopped whenever we saw wildlife and let us out to snap photos. Great job Mike.
Yellowstone the Beautiful.

5.00This tour was fabulous! I'm so glad that we did it on our first day in Yellowstone and I really just could not have asked for anything else out of the experience, our tour guide Dave was the best and we really appreciated all of his insights. Definitely highly recommend.
Not worth it - Over Charged and Misinformed
Sharona L,,Sep 20, 2025
- Review from Viator
2.00We booked through Viator and were charged $175 per person, while others on the same tour paid only $125 by booking directly. The pickup location and time were wrong, and no one at Viator could give us a straight answer. We ended up waiting 45 minutes in freezing weather, then were blamed by other passengers for the delay. We also couldn’t sit together on the bus. The guide was good, but Viator completely mishandled the logistics. Save your money and book directly.
Our guide was great! We...
