Brian Stone was our tour guide. Very accommodating, knowledgeable, and welcoming person. He made the entire trip a lot enjoyable for all of us. Took us to Grand prismatic even if it wasnt part of the tour. All i can say is that the planning of this tour is very well thought. Who would have expected that binoculars were game changers during tours like this? Meals and drinks are yummy!!

Jeff was a great guide for a 12 hour day in the park. We saw elk, moose, bison and other animals that Jeff was able to spot! It was cool but we expected that since it was the last day the park was open. Old Faithful didn't disappoint. Overall it was a great time and we met new friends to experience this with. The crowds were low and we liked that!

Nate was phenomenal! Not only was he very knowledgeable, but funny and engaging. We could not have been more fulfilled in our Yellowstone venture

It was good. The only thing was that the guide promised to send a picture of a bear on my phone closer and he never did.

Awesome experience! Would highly recommend. Worth the money
