Awesome - We were able to see 4 geysers going off at the same time. Eddy was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable about the park. I would definitely recommend that you take this tour. We learned more in 7 1/2 hours than I could in 7 days by my self

First Trip to Yellowstone - This is the perfect way to see the historic Yellowstone Park for the first time. You gat a knowledgeable guide to drive you to all the key sites so you can look out the window as you go and not worry about navigating or hitting the key highlights. The bagged lunch was very generous and delicious. The transport van was roomy and comfortable. The guide kept us well a informed and safe.
