Great tour! - We had a fabulous hike with Ron, our guide. Ron is personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. We saw many geysers and eruptions during the hike. Ours was a small group of 5 hikers. The hike was mostly on flat terrain. In sum, a most enjoyable tour.

Great hike through the... - Great hike through the geyser basin. Our guide, Jake was excellent. Very knowledgeable about nature and able to show us features that I would have missed on my own. We were able to see the major geysers (the "touristy" spots) but the majority of the hike was off the beaten path.

Wonderful way to experience Yellowstone! - Our family booked this experience for our recent trip to Yellowstone. Our guide, Dallas, was extremely knowledgeable and made the hike so much fun! We learned so much about the geothermal features, and he knew exactly when and where to go to get the most out of our six hours. I would highly recommend this tour!

Geysers - This hike was one of the best we have been on in Yellowstone. To see the different pools and learn about the heat determines which bacteria (if any) grow in it. We were very fortunate that we got to see 6 geisers erupt through out the hike. Michell took us up this hill above old faithful and we got to watch it from there. It is a tremendous sight down below but up above put it into a whole new perspective.

- We enjoyed our hiking tour with Spencer. He was knowledgeable about the history of the area, and shared this information in fun ways. He was accommodating in that he had bug spray and just about anything else you needed with him. The lunch that he provided was delicious and filling. Great tour!

A great geo thermal tour with Julia - Did the geo thermal tour eith our guide Julia. She was so we'll prepared with refreshments, big spray, sunscreen etc. She showed us all the main geysers including Okd Faithfull which we saw erupting 3 times from different angles. In addition we saw other features which we wouldn't have seen without the expertise. Although it was specifically a geothermal tour, Julia provided so much information on the park's history, floral and fauna plus answered our endless questions on life in America. I really can't praise the guide or the experience enough. We have some incredible photos of the geothermals and such memories too. Plus the packed lunch and snacks were really good!
