If you can pick Bailee as your tour guide, don’t hesitate! - Bailee was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable, super personal, and very accommodating! We would have never been able to see everything that we did on our own within that timeframe. I rate her 10 out of 5! She more than exceeded our expectations. She even brought a birthday cake for my sister’s birthday for our picnic lunch!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Private Yellowstone Tour Experience — Book It. Seriously. - We had the absolute best time on our full-day private Yellowstone tour with Chris and Kelsi!
From start to finish, they were phenomenal guides. Chris and Kelsi know everything — from volcanic geology and park history to which rock might actually be hiding a baby bison. Their passion for the park is infectious, and their storytelling kept us captivated all day.
They’re also just genuinely great humans — friendly, down-to-earth, and incredibly easy to hang with. They made our group of 16 feel completely at ease and somehow managed to take 100+ group photos of our gaggle of girls without ever losing patience (or their smiles).
The vans were spacious, spotless, and seriously comfy — a huge plus for a full-day adventure. They came fully stocked with snacks, cold waters, and a delicious picnic lunch from a fantastic local spot that we enjoyed during a break in the park.
They even did a pre-trip planning call, which was so thoughtful — it helped set expectations and tailor the day to what we really wanted to see and do. This put my mind at ease as a Type-A human.
Could you drive Yellowstone yourself? Technically, yes. But why spend the day squinting at a map, circling for parking, and wondering what you're looking at — when you could kick back and let Chris and Kelsi handle it all? You’ll learn more, laugh more, and see all the best views without the stress.
Book them. You won’t regret it.

A Great Experience - If you're looking for an unforgettable Yellowstone experience, I highly recommend booking a tour with Chris! From start to finish, he was the perfect guide—extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun to hang out with for the entire day. Chris knows Yellowstone inside and out, and his passion for the park truly shines through in the way he explains everything from the geology to the wildlife. He made sure we didn’t miss any of the park's iconic spots, and he tailored the tour to our interests, making it feel like a truly personalized experience.
On top of his expertise, Chris made the day extra special by bringing cake to celebrate my birthday, which was a thoughtful and kind gesture that went above and beyond. It’s not every day you get to explore one of the most amazing national parks with someone who not only makes the experience informative but also enjoyable and full of laughs.
I’d wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone visiting Yellowstone—you won’t just see the park, you’ll get to experience it through the eyes of someone who truly loves and understands it. He’s a great guide and an even better person!

A great day of exploring Yellowstone! - Jarrod, our guide, was so knowledgeable and asked us for our preferences for what we wanted to see. We saw incredible geothermal landscapes including, of course, Old Faithful and the Beehive Geyser. We saw the “Grand Canyon” of Yellowstone which was magnificent. We would highly recommend this tour.

11/10 Touring Experience- Couldn't Recommend More! - My family and I had an incredible experience touring West Yellowstone with Jarrod. Jarrod was an amazing tour guide and he did such a great job listening to how we envisioned our Yellowstone experience, and took us to the absolute best hikes, as well as some stops at some less-touristy sightseeing spots. He had an immense amount of knowledge about literally everything related to Yellowstone, and made us feel really comfortable, knowing he was an expert in all things Yellowstone and safety (he also packed the absolute best lunches). Couldn't recommend the experience more. It truly. made our Yellowstone trip, and we will absolutely be using Good Trip Adventures again.
