Beautiful to see Yellowstone in the winter and explore! - My friends and I were in the area for a week and decided to book a tour and venture into the park. We were worried at first cause most of Yellowstone is closed in the winter season, but BOY we're we surprised by how much this tour included. The park is stunning in the winter and the wildlife was plentiful in the area we went to! The snowshoe hike was amazing and a really fun, new experience for us! Our guide was super informative, kind and helpful throughout the whole day, we learned TONS! Highly recommend!

Best Time Ever! - Our guide Jason was an absolute delight. He made it his mission to give us the best experience possible based on what we talked about wanting to see, winter conditions on opening day and 'reading the highway' for interesting wildlife and people with cameras! Great driver also. We cannot praise this tour and guide highly enough. He was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. His in depth information about the geology and wildlife of the park made it an epic trip and his conversational sharing of it was more like having an uber smart friend than just a park guide. He gave is awesome tips for what to see in the next few days on our own. We had an absolute blast. Look no further, this is the tour you want.

Wonderful Tour in the Winter at Yellowstone Park - We had a wonderful winter day touring Yellowstone Park with Megan. She was very informative about the Parks history. She knew exactly where to look to see Bison, Elk, Deer, Wolves, Two Pronged Sheep and a coyote. She took us snowshoeing, something we had never done. I would recommend this tour if you travel to Yellowstone in the winter, you are able to hop in and out of the van as needed.

Wonderful Winter Tour With Megan From Good Trip Adventures - What an excellent time we had on our Yellowstone Winter Tour with Megan from Good Trip Adventures. We saw numerous wildlife, and Megan knew exactly where to look. Over seven hours, we toured and she would stop to set up the high power scope so we could view the wildlife. We tried snow shoeing for the first time and had so much fun. Megan also is very knowledgeable about the park and its history. Included was a delicious lunch, hot cider and snacks! I highly recommend touring Yellowstone with Megan!

Incredible day in Yellowstone - We toured Yellowstone with Emma and are so glad we did! She custom-designed our day around our interests and experience. She was so friendly and put us all at ease for our first-ever adventure in the park: ) She arrived on time at our hotel in an exceptionally clean and roomy vehicle that made the day-long tour comfortable and great for easily seeing the vast and gorgeous views! Our tour even included healthy snacks and a delicious lunch! (The mini choc cake for my birthday was such a thoughtful touch: ) Emma knew where to stop along the route and when and how to safely observe any animals nearby. She even brought binoculars and a long distance viewing scope so we didn't have to pack those: ) Another fun bonus was getting to try out snow shoes, provided by the tour company. We didn't get to do much hiking, but would love to come back again! If you are not avid hikers/explorers etc. and aren't familiar with the park, we would highly recommend going with Good Trip Adventures at least once. You won't regret it!
