5.00The tour did exactly as advertised. What a great way to see a lot of Yellowstone in a day. It was an early start but absolutely needed it given the size of the park. Our guide Eddie was excellent, very knowledgeable and flexible with what we saw. He couldn’t order the wildlife but we saw plenty and even managed to see two bears at the end of the day. Pastries breakfast and a sandwich lunch with plenty of water was included. We loved it.
James is the GOAT

5.00This tour was amazing!!! Our guide James knew EVERYTHING about the park. We learned about the geysers, animals, history of the park, architecture of the buildings, geology, and plant life. He answered every question thoroughly and had so many fun facts. We saw tons of bison, elk, many bird species, coyotes, and a black bear!! Even though it was at the end of the trip, James pulled over and let us watch the bear for a half hour. Magical!!! Highly recommend this tour- small group and expert in charge made it fantastic.

5.00I had the absolute pleasure of having James as my tour guide to Yellowstone National Park. From the very beginning, he set the tone for an outstanding experience—arriving on time with delicious pastries and our packed lunches from Ernie’s. He began the day with a clear review of safety procedures before leading us into the park. James is truly a wealth of knowledge, sharing fascinating insights about the park’s history, wildlife, and vegetation throughout the tour. He was thoughtful and attentive, providing ample bathroom breaks, as well as opportunities to grab snacks and souvenirs. As a solo traveler in Montana, I especially appreciated the welcoming small-group setting. James made me feel safe, comfortable, and fully able to enjoy the day. His professionalism, expertise, and friendly demeanor made this trip a memorable highlight of my travels. Kudos to James for delivering such a wonderful and enriching experience—I cannot recommend him highly enough! Would you like me to make t

5.00We toured Yellowstone with James. He started the day with a timely pick up and some locally made pastries to enjoy while he gave us some safety info. He did a good job throughout the day keeping us moving on track but also not feeling rushed and having adequate bio breaks. He is extremely knowledgeable about all the facets of the park - history, geology, wildlife, etc. Highly recommend this tour.
