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!

Amazing Tour; Exceptional Guide - We LOVED this tour! On the tour we got to see many different geysers - some quiet, some erupting. Thanks to Nak, our knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide, we learned a lot about what makes geysers in general - and several different ones in particular - unique and special. He managed to time our hike perfectly to see some spectacular eruptions and even include the Old Faithful overlook. Overall, we are happy to recommend this tour and this company. I hope you get a chance to do this tour, and are lucky enough to be with a guide as intelligent and kind as Nak!

Awesome time in the Upper Geyser Basin - Fantastic time in the Upper Geyser Basin viewing so many of the highlights of the area including Old Faithful and the more awesome Beehive Geyser both during eruptions! Our tour guide, Michael was super knowledgeable and made the tour fun as we worked a route around all the roaming bisons! Such an amazing day. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Tour - Excellent walking tour of the upper basin. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We were able to see five of the larger geysers erupt including being right next to the Beehive geyser when it went off. Also saw multiple bison, etc.. highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommend!! - Wonderful experience. Austin, our guide, was very personable and knowledgeable. We saw a lot of Gysers. We were able to see Old Faithful from the observation point, which was perfect - great view and no crowds. We then had a very nice lunch and snacks provided by our guide on the deck of Old Faithful Lodge. Highly recommend this excursion.

Fantastic Views - We had Marissa who was so friendly and knowledgeable! This was probably my favorite part of our trip, we saw so many geysers and learned so much. We got to hike a little through the woods and a little through the boardwalk area. We went late August it wasn't too crowded. The hike was not difficult but can be long especially if you're not used to the altitude or walking that distance. Awesome time and would recommend!
