Itai is an excellent guide. Great with kids. We had a great time with him in Grand Teton, so I am sure he does a great job in Yellowstone as well

I want to give our guide, Pat a huge shoutout. He gave me and my parents an incredible gift by showing us so many animals we’ve never seen before. Also thank you for the lovely picnic lunch we had I also want to thank this company for offering us a vehicle that accommodates my mom’s walking impairment. Thank you!!
Wonderful wildlife experience!

Itai was a fabulous guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the parks, land features, history, environment and wildlife. We were driven very carefully and comfortably in a clean, modern vehicle complete with free water and snacks. He checked on us often to make sure we were comfortable. We made rest stops as needed. He stopped periodically when there was the potential to see wildlife. We saw coyote, wolf (with a recent catch in its mouth), bald eagles, moose, long horned sheep and elk. He had binoculars for each of us to use in the vehicle and would set up a scope on a tripod for viewing when we got out at stops. Itai was very personable and patient. He answered all of our many questions. Highly recommend his services and his company!
Great Day, great ride, great guide

We had explored Lamar Valley on our own the year before, following maps and online guides, but going with Itai was an entirely different experience. Same route, completely different journey. Right away, it was clear how much he knew, not just about the wildlife but the entire ecosystem. We later learned he has a degree in forestry from Yale, which made perfect sense. Every question we threw at him, he answered with insight and enthusiasm. We saw bison up close, a group of moose (which sparked a debate on whether they should be called meese), and the highlight of the day, a baby bear making its way through the trees. The pace of the tour was perfect. Itai never rushed us, giving us plenty of time to step out, take photos, and just enjoy the moment. We never felt like we were being shuffled from one spot to the next. At the end of the tour, he even recommended a local spot for dinner and dropped us off there. The staff knew him right away, and we were taken care of like regulars. It was easily the best part of our trip. Itai’s passion for Yellowstone shines through in every part of the experience, and now we wouldn’t explore the park any other way.
