A Must Trip - Our guide was very knowledgeable and we saw so many wonderful sights on the lower loop that we would have not seen on our own. I highly suggest letting them do the driving so you can take in the view. Our guide knew where to find wildlife and best spots for pictures.

It was the best day! We... - It was the best day! We saw all the places listed on our itinerary except Old Faithful. That was ok because we saw it the day before! Grand Prismatic Spring, the lower water fall, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone were amazing. We saw lots of Bison, Elk, and even a bear!

My trip to Yellowstone - We had a small group of 3 so everything went smoothly with schedule. Michael our driver/guide was good and informative. We were very lucky to get to the Old Faithful just about the time of the eruption and didn’t have to wait. Michael picked a great spot for lunch. It’s nice and peaceful. I’d recommend this tour to any travelers that have a short visit to Yellowstone.

Lower Loop Tour - Our tour guide Emily was awesome. She turned around and went back to a spot to where the tour was able to get a good view of the wildlife and always dropped us off at the closest spot for what we were going to see. She was very knowledgeable and found a great spot to enjoy lunch. I would recommend taking this tour.

Delightful Tour of the Lower Loop - This is our second outstanding tour with Yellowstone Hiking guides. Our guide Emily W was outstanding. She was kind , courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable. The tour was great. Emily gave us some less strenuous options which were greatly appreciated by our four 70 year old group members. The sites visited were beautiful and usually a short walk from our parking spot. We saw wildlife, geysers, canyons, rivers and waterfalls. Overall a marvelous experience.

Only way to see Yellowstone - Excellent way to see Yellowstone without having to worry about where you're going. Spencer was very knowledgeable, friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time. He makes a mean turkey sandwich too!
