5 plus stars - Totally totally worth the money. Joshua, our guide was so knowledgeable. Since it was the last day of the season we had a private guide to ourselves. His wife packed us the biggest sack last we have ever had. Hubby and I couldn’t eat everything. So accommodating . 5 plus stars. I am sure we would have missed so many points of interest if we had not had the guide. Thanks for the memories?”!

Affordable, excellent communication, amazing tour guide - My husband and I traveled out to Montana for our baby-moon. Yellowstone Hiking Guides were recommended by our travel agent and was one of the most affordable tours that we could find. Before we even arrived, their communication was top notch: they were very fast to respond and answered all of my questions. They were even very accommodating with their lunch options as I am 29 weeks pregnant. Spencer, our guide, was amazing and very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions about the history of the park, the creation of the different springs and gyres, the flora and fauna, offered to take photos without us asking and other information. We will for sure becoming back as we only did the lower loop and now need to do the upper loop! When we do return, we know who we’re going to book a tour with!

One on one with guide Spencer - Awesome tour of the lower loop. Spencer was a great guide! I really enjoyed the tour as I was the only guest and was able to learn almost more than I wanted to learn about geysers and Yellowstone! Book this!

Great Park - Great Guide - Great Day - Yellowstone is amazing - the park and the history are unmatched! Spencer was understated at first….it was raining….but he proved to be a wealth of information and really enjoyable as he shared the park with us

A Trip of Lasting Memories - We met our guide and instantly connected, felt safe, and were excited about the day ahead. Our guide answered all the questions we asked and even added more information for us. He took us to the incredible scenic spots, ensured our safety, and even took and recommended spots for pictures of our group. Despite inclement weather we saw incredible scenery, majestic animals, and the sandwiches he made were delicious! The best part was viewing all the animals throughout the park, topped off by the hot cocoa and coffee! Highly recommend booking with them for a trip to remember and then some.

Exploring Yellowstone for the first time - This tour was fantastic!!! I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Yellowstone. Ron was our tour guide and he was delightful and very knowledgeable. I’m not normally a “take a tour” kind of person, but didn’t want to drive, I wanted to watch what was going on around me. It was great having someone who knew where all the great spots were!!! We had fabulous weather ( Ron didn’t control that😂) and lunch was great ( we ate at a picnic table by the Yellowstone River). It was so peaceful. Highly recommend taking this tour!!!!
