An Unforgettable Experience - We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Yellowstone Lower Loop Tour with CoveredGround YellowstoneTours, and a huge part of that was our guide, Keith. From the moment we started, Keith's incredible knowledge of Yellowstone, wildlife, geology, and park history kept everyone engaged. What really set him apart, though, was his sense of humor. Our family is still laughing at his jokes! The tour lasted about nine hours, but Keith made the time fly by. He had a wonderful way of connecting with everyone on board, from the youngest to the oldest. We especially appreciated how he took the time to ask each of our kids what their favorite part of the day was, making them feel included and valued throughout the experience. Keith's enthusiasm for the national parks extends well beyond the tour itself. He was generous with additional recommendations and helpful information about other parks and places to explore, which we greatly appreciated. Keith made our day memorable, educational, and incredibly enjoyable. If you're considering a Yellowstone tour, we highly recommend Covered Ground Tours. If you're lucky enough to get Keith as your guide, you're in for a treat. We would absolutely book another tour with him again!

Enjoyable. - A wonderful tour. An engaging and knowledgeable guide, well chosen stops with plenty of time to view individual areas, a tasty and satisfying lunch, and comfortable seats in a transit van. It rained most of the day, but our guide and fellow passengers made the day fun. The price, however, was a little steep.

Highly recommend - Joel was incredible from start to finish! He called all of us by name and was incredibly kind to our 11 year old son and made him feel special throughout the tour. Joel is very knowledgeable and truly went out of his way to make sure we saw everything while sharing history. I appreciated the pace of the tour and highly recommend it!

Our guide, Steven was... - Our guide, Steven was very knowledgeable and personable and showed us around beautiful Yellowstone National Park. We were lucky to witness a grizzly taking a snooze after having its afternoon feast thanks to Steven’s inside information with other guides in the park. We saw black bear and just magnificent scenery thanks to Steven.

Great! - We really enjoyed being with a small group (11 people). Ethan, our guide, was very informative and helpful. Each of us had to have our own park entry card. We saw lots of bison and other animals even a moose. The thermal features were fantastic and of course Old Faithful was amazing! Highly recommended.

Great day seeing the park highlights with an inspiring guide! - We had a great full-day trip with Justin as our guide. He picked us up right on time in Cody and we throughly enjoyed his tour and commentary along the way. He is clearly very interested in the land, the park, its varied and unique features, wildlife and all the opportunities to explore it. It was great to visit with a guide who loves the park! The van was comfortable, there were plenty of restroom stops, and lunch was fine. Highly recommend!

Excellent day! - We loved this tour, saw things in one day that would have taken us several days to see. Guide/driver was wonderful. We had enough time at each stop to get out and explore. Lunches were really good. Highly recommend.

This was a VERY expensive... - This was a VERY expensive tour for the value. Our tour started with another van breaking down and we had to drive the driver back to the store. Then our driver told us the wrong time for Old Faithful so we ended up spending an extra hour there. I didn’t mind the extra time but this led us to miss 3 additional stops because we were so behind schedule. Overall I felt like it was a lot of time in the van with very little stops. I sat in the very back with my kids so only had small windows to see out of. The driver did offer my youngest to sit in the front but my kids wanted to stay together. The lunch was a very good sandwich lunch. The driver was knowledgeable and friendly but I do not understand how they do not have a radio if a bus breaks down or how they can’t check to know the exact time Old Faithful erupts. As soon as we got there and realized the driver told us the wrong time, my husband looked it up and its listed on nps.gov. If you don’t have a car then it’s an option but if you do have a car I would explore on your own. The stops are clearly marked. It is very easy to see bison and elk and the one time we saw baby bison we didn’t have time to stop. We did stop to see a moose which isn’t very common but again I think this would just be the luck of the draw not because of this tour.
