A Geological and Wildlife Mecca - This was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip. Our guide David was not only knowledgeable, but equally passionate about our journey that day. We saw Moose, Elk, a Grizzly Bear and her 2 cubs all within our first 2 hours of our trip. In addition we saw lots of more Elk and Bison that day. David is very laid back and very much about making it the best experience for your family as well as educating your thru the course of the day. The Grand Tetons were amazing and our whole day was perfect. Worth every penny as another user stated. For those who are scoffing a bit at the price, when I drove around the park on our non tour days- we saw plenty of wildlife(However, as I was driving I was not able to view and enjoy the way I did during the tour). The Geology of the park is second to none in the US. This trip is nerd heaven for some of us! We learned so much from David during our trip, and our kids despite being on Fall Break were enamored with the new wealth of knowledge they obtained.

A ride in the park. - Our guide Benji was so knowledgeable and accommodating. My husband and I have been to the park many times, but not so the rest of our group. We all had a wonderful time, saw lots of wildlife and thermal sights. I’m sure we will be back!

Amazing introduction to Yellowstone National Park! - We had an awesome day with our guide Jesse! He was so knowledgeable and experienced about the land/ parks both Grand Teton and Yellowstone. His knowledge really helped us connect to what we were seeing, feeling and hearing from the surrounding nature. We learned so much. I would recommend this tour to anyone on their first visit to Yellowstone or Grand Teton. It’s Family friendly, although it was greatly enjoyed by only my spouse and I on this tour. The land is so massive it put great perspective on what’s really out there, especially if you’ve never been to Wyoming before. We saw wildlife, which is never promised but we got pretty lucky. Saw lots of Bison, quite a few Elk, and some others but no bears or moose. *I recommend a wildlife tour if you want to see more wildlife than the land itself* This tour also gave us the best perspective on how to handle parking situations or even if we would rather stay directly in Yellowstone during our next visit! Ultimately, the tour was amazing we stopped as often as we wanted, our guide knew great places to stop for restroom breaks & souvenir shopping! our guide Jesse really helped make the journey seamless as possible. We had lunch at The Old faithful geyser which was fun. Jesse gave us many options on where we could have our lunch. We opted for the short and sweet lunch so that we could see as much as possible! 11hrs is a long day! It honestly flew by.. that’s how astonishing everything that we saw was!! The thermal activity was very interesting to watch throughout the park, the hot springs were a highlight to see.. I love that we choose September, we started with about 35 degree weather @ 7am and cloudy skies, by the end of the tour it was completely sunny and changed the experience which was great. 100% satisfied. Loved the sprinter van transport but if you prefer a window opening opt for an SUV. We preferred the larger windows, and more space.

The entire tour was... - The entire tour was simply excellent. Our guide Davis was exemplary. He was both personable and professional. We felt he made the entire trip worth every penny! He took very good care of us throughout the day. We enjoyed the lunch as well. We learned countless things and saw nearly everything we wanted! It was a wonderful experience and we could not have asked for more. Thank you!!!

Great private tour - We had a great tour with David as our tour guide. It rained off and on during the day but we were able to see all the highlights and have a picnic lunch by the river. David tried his best to find us the elusive moose /bear sightings, but we had no luck. We did see a few Bison, one with her calf. The day was long but there is a lot to see in Yellowstone.

The best way to see Yellowstone! - We did a full day tour of Yellowstone with Jesse. He was AMAZING! He was prepared, made us so comfortable, had so much information and history, and he knew all the best routes and times to go everywhere. It was a fantastic day and I couldn’t recommend him more! The best!

Equal parts knowledge and passion! Jesse knows where to find the rainbows! - We had an incredibly memorable full day with Jesse. The park deserves Jesse's reverence and knowledge of the land. We were looking for a knowledgeable and passionate tour guide to experience one of the greatest places in U.S. past and present.....and we found Jesse and Yellowstone! Jesse is more than a guide; he is a teacher and a learner. He knows everything about the scientific knowledge of geology, geography, archeology, history, sociology, chemistry and the experiential knowledge of mythology and folk lore of the park and the region. Our friends in New York referred us to him, and we are sharing him with you. Words really can't describe how special our day was with such a brilliant and generous person. All I can say is that Jesse knows where to find the rainbows.

Fabulous family vacation - We had a fabulous time! Our guide Benji did a great job making it entertaining and fun for our 7year old and teenagers. His knowledge in zoology was fun to learn from. Highly recommend a private tour if you have 1 day and kids with you! When parking and traffic was tough he would drop us off at the site, park and meet up with us so we could maximize our time!

Highly recommend - We took a tour with extended family, 85 year old grandparents to teens. Our guide Mike was absolutely wonderful. Knowledgeable, great communication, warm, thoughtful on how to make our trip comfortable for our grandparents who aren’t the most mobile. The range of stops was great for getting a variety of experiences in one day. The vehicle was also comfortable for our group of 8. Highly recommend.
