Wild life sightseeing - Bill is a fantastic animal tracker. He knows Yellowstone and its history inside out. He can tell what kind of wild life will show up when and where.

Fabulous tour - great park info - Bill really knows Yellowstone! He was such a great, knowledgeable guide. We took the Upper Loop tour and he knew where to find the animals. He has an amzing knowledge of the wildlife and tells interesting facts and stories about them. He told us all about the history of the park, too. Having a picnic lunch by a river with two snow-capped peaks as a backdrop can't be beat. We took a private tour and will do it again on our next trip to Yellowstone. It's worth every penny. If you want a great Yellowstone experience, call Yellowstone Western Tours!

Great way to get the lay of the land. - Bill our guide was knowledgeable and knew the park as well as the critters who live there.He is first aid certified so we felt very safe.On this 8 hour tour we saw lots of bison and elk,prong horn, ospreys and gofers. We also saw some of the geothermal experiences and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Bill provided a sandwich lunch by a creek and Bill provided water and snacks throughout. I Would highly reccommend this tour on your first day at Yellowstone to get the lay of the land and go back in your own time. Bill even provided photos he took and a pdf file of recommendation of other things to see at the park. Very much worth every penny of the tour.

Wildlife Tour - Fayle was wonderful! She made sure we had the tour and photo ops we desired. Picnic lunch hit the spot. Got to see bison, antelope, elk - even a wolf! The bison herds in the Lamar Valley will always be a great memory. We found special sights we never would have found on our own.

A MUST DO TOUR :) - Me and my partner wanted to see wildlife in Yellowstone amd with this company thats exactly what we got plus great service. Fayle picked us up from our hotel in West Yellowstone and she was so friendly and very knowledgeable about the park. She made the tour all about us, knowing we wanted to see animals in Yellowstone. Fayle provided binoculars and took amazing photos for us. This tour exceeded our expectations, we saw Elk, Bison, Antelope, Raven, 4Bears, 2Cubs and even 2 Wolves! Bill was on another tour but we kept meeting them at some stops. I am a vegan and my boyfriend eats meat, Fayle provided plenty on food for lunch and snacks. Fayle and Bill are very passionate about Yellowstone and care about their customers. If you come to Yellowstone please do this tour, you will not regret it :)

Amazing tour! - Bill is an amazing tour guide but more importantly a good person. Having lived in Montana his whole life he is well-versed in the importance of protecting and promoting the animals and their habitats. We learned and saw so much (grizzly bear, black bear, elk, deer, moose, sheep, bison, osprey, swan) on our Wildlife Tour in Yellowstone’s upper loop. Also saw some of the geysers/falls/fumeroles in that area as well. Recommend 200%!!!

Personal Touch Tour - What a great tour with Fayle today! This is a must if you want a personal guide to Yellowstone. We have two teenagers and they loved it. We chose the wildlife tour and we saw a bit of everything! Being native to the area for generations, these guys know every square inch of this park. We saw Bears, Bison, Elk, and everything else 😎 I would highly recommend this tour 👍

Great choice! - I wasn’t sure if paying for a private tour guide would be worth it. Boy, was I wrong! We spent 8 hours with our guide Bill. He has spent his whole live in Yellowstone, and what a treasure trove of knowledge he is! We learned so much about the history of the park and the animals that we would never learn on our own. We saw bears, buffalo, prawn horn deer, badgers - some of these we would not have seen without him. Included was a great lunch of sandwiches at a beautiful stream in Lamar Valley. Our whole family had such a great time. The best part was being with someone who knows and follows all the park rules, and taught them to us. Great experience, worth every penny!
