This was a very full day of the highlights of Yellowstone. I wish we had done this on our first day and then been able to revisit at our pace. Shari, our guide, was a great driver and narrator. She knows the tricks of the park - we got to the Grand Prismatic when the morning fog was still laying low and obscuring it; but we got to see it! The only thing I didn't like is too much sitting on the bus and not much time at each stop; I realize to pack in all the stops this is par for the course. It is a good tour for site "seeing" just not site "exploring." Perfect for an orientation. Excellent if you have mobility limitations. We got a couple of surprises too!!

The hotspots tour is a great way to see of many key features in the lower loop area at Yellowstone. The sights did not disappoint. We definitely felt that it was a really great way to see some of Yellowstone as first timers. Because there's just so much to see. They provide water and ample snacks, and then we stopped to purchase lunch. Shari was our guide/driver and not only was she a wonderful guide, but also a very nice person to be around. Also, if you've ever been on a tour before, you know that you can get some sketchy drivers, but she was smooth and not jerky, which goes a long way when you're driving for several hours in a day!

We loved our experience with Sherri in Yellowstone. Doing a guided tour is well worth the money. It saved us so much time, we were able to see a lot more in one day that we would have been able to on our own. Sherri was an awesome guide, she shared so much interesting information about Yellowstone and the wildlife. She went out of her way to make sure we were able to get the most out of our day. I highly recommend this tour and requesting Sherri if you can!

Excellent way to tour sites with background and tips from driver/guide. Tour van parking and early time helps avoid crowds.
