Wonderful Day!! - The Yellowstone Park all day tour was magnificent!! Claire was our tour guide and was the absolute best!! She was very knowledgeable about Yellowstone National Park, the wildlife and the history of the region. Claire also encouraged us to ask questions which allowed for interesting discussions. Hotel pick up and drop off were on time and very convenient. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. Claire assured our safety throughout the day as she was a very good driver. There were 9 of us in the van and she was very accommodating to all of us. Claire was able to pull off for all the wildlife sightings and WOW — did we see wildlife!!! We were so excited to see a family of 3 black bear (one was a cub), 2 separate grizzly bear, tons of elk, a mule deer, a moose, a wolf, pelicans, canadian geese, ducks and osprey. This tour was the way to go as Claire took us to all the beautiful sites in the park. It allowed my husband and me to relax and view the beautiful scenery as we rode in the van. We saw Old Faithful eruption, waterfalls, lakes, Artist Point, geysers, mud pit, the grand canyon of Yellowstone and much more! What a wonderful day!!

What an amazing day! - We took this amazing tour on our very 1st day in Wyoming. John, our guide, was so knowledgeable about the area and the most pleasant person to spend the day with. We covered so much ground and saw everything and much more. We even saw 399!!! I would recommend this to anyone looking to see Yellowstone in an efficient and enjoyable way.

Great Guide and Experience - Our guide, Andy Limoncelli, was terrific. We saw all the lower loop sites mentioned in the itinerary and several others that only a pro guide would know. The wildlife were on full display (elk, bear, buffalo, pronghorn, bald eagles) plus Andy took us to a fast running stream with nesting migratory Harlequin Ducks. The lakes, waterfalls and canyon are awe inspiring. Andy was very patient and either found great spots to stop or, like at Old Faithful, dropped us off conveniently while he found a parking spot. We learned a lot. We even had a picnic lunch by a stream. It was great. I highly recommend this company.

Amazing day in Yellowstone with an expert guide - Really brilliant day trip with our guide Claire, saw the essential spots in Yellowstone, and luckily a whole load of fabulous animals including a grey wolf and three different bears. Claire was super informative providing interesting facts about Yellowstone, the geology, the animals and the area in general but also allowed us to experience the wonder of Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Great lunch and snacks provided along with water as required. I’d really recommend this tour company as it was so easy to book and there was excellent communication ahead of the trip. Small group which was great and the vehicle was in pristine condition plus comfortable. Fantastic price for everything that is covered and included in the day.

Great Experience All Around - Luke was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs and what we wanted to see and do. We visited a lot of the spots we wanted to and took lots of amazing photos. We also saw lots of wildlife including two grizzly bears that I don’t think we would have seen on our own.
