Amazing Tour Guide James!!!!! - James is an AMAZING guide, he is extremely knowledgeable about so many things in the park. His driving was smooth. He knew the best places to see, and timing was impeccable! He planned bathroom and lunch breaks at perfect times! He accommodated our requests for animals we wanted to see! He set up a spotter scope so we could get great views of Grizzly Bears! He created a lifetime of memories for my son and I. I would highly highly recommend James to anyone that wants the most out of their Yellowstone Park experience!

A must see National Park - This park is incredibly beautiful. I expected to see beauty but I wasn't expecting to see all the thermal wonders. I wish Fantastic experience. We didn't see much wildlife though; Some elk in the evening and my husband saw a bison. If you have a child that is interested in science this would be incredible fun for him

For us this was an... - For us this was an excellent introduction to the South Loop of the Yellowstone National Park.
We were fortunate to have James as our host and tour guide.
His knowledge was incredible and he added so much to our enjoyment of the day.
We were fortunate in seeing a lot of bison, a grizzly, elk and several raptors.
There’s so much more than Old Faithful in the Park and James sure we saw so much. Thank you James.
We were also fortunate to share the day with 3 other guests whose company we enjoyed.
A wonderful tour.

Amazing day with an excellent tour guide. - This was an amazing day at Yellowstone. Our tour guide James was a wealth of knowledge. He did not stop giving us facts and fun information about the park. We covered many famous sights. It was a full day from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Breakfast muffins were fresh from a local bakery, lunch was fresh from a local deli and plenty of water. I could not have asked for a better day!!

Excellent Day Tour - Highly recommend this excellent tour of the lower loop! Our guide, James, was extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and all aspects of the park. There’s no way we could have seen everything we saw without his guidance.

We were able to see a good amount of wildlife, including both bear species, and my youngest loved seeing all the geysers. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone. It was a great introduction to Yellowstone.
