Just perfect - It was our first time to Yellowstone and I’m so pleased we booked this tour we got to see things we would never have done on our own. We saw Bears, Bison, Elk mountain goats and the most amazing scenery. Jarred was our tour guide and he was fantastic his knowledge of the area was amazing from the nature to the history. And the bonus was as he knew the park so well we missed the crowds at all the hot spots which made it all the more lovely. Thank you Jarred for making our Yellowstone trip one we will never forget.

Amazing experience, highly recommend! - Our group absolutely loved this tour! We had Brian & he was fantastic! Not only did we get to see some of the wildlife we wanted to see, we saw some we didn’t even know existed in the park. I know animals can be fickle so we weren’t sure what we would be able to see, but we got to see: black bears, grizzly bear, wolves, big horned sheep, mountain goats, lots of pronghorn, golden eagle nest, osprey nest, deer, elk & tons of bison. Brian had all the right tools that we needed (saw some other tour companies that did not) along with plenty of snacks & lunch. He gave us a background on the park & all the areas we were seeing the different animals. Most of the spots we wouldn’t have known if we didn’t have a guide with us so we knew where to go. Some areas I never would have guessed any wild life was until he showed us, it was amazing!!

Wonderful tour - Highly recommend this tour if you have never been to Yellowstone. Brian was very knowledgeable, listened to everything we wanted to see and do. We saw 3 wolves, a grizzly bear, and lots of bison and elk. We saw waterfalls, the prismatic, and old faithful. The lunch was very good as well. Worth every penny! Thanks Brian!

Wildlife tour - Levi was our tour guide. His knowledge of the park was remarkable. We saw Elk, a grizzly a pack of wolves and mountain goats not to mention the beautiful scenery. Most of the animals we saw we have video of rather than pictures. I wish I could add video here!

Excellent—book it! - We did the Wildlife and Waterfalls tour with John. He was an excellent, knowledgeable, and fun guide! John was right on time at our pick up spot and we were on our way— the early wake up was worth it when we spotted a black bear not 15 feet from our van. Throughout the day we also saw: elk, bison, bald eagles, deer, marmots, osprey, and white pelicans. John knew where to look and chatted with other guides for intel. He took awesome pics for us (at times using his scope and phone attachment). We also saw the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone— upper and lower falls and several other impressive waterfalls. The bagged lunch, snacks, and drinks provided were plentiful and good. Overall, we would highly recommend this tour and John as a tour guide!!!

We never would have seen all that we did without this tour! Highly recommend! - We experienced an amazing wildlife tour with Levi last week. This was the first trip to Yellowstone for our family (kids 12 and 10). We were picked up right on time and got into the park to see the wildlife in their element in the early morning hours. We hit the jackpot on our trip and saw a black bear, grizzly bear with cubs, elk, mountain goats, pronghorn deer, three wolves, and countless bison - a few right next to the van. Levi had a keen eye to find the wildlife at a distance and set our family up to view with magnified binoculars when the wildlife was at a distance. He was extremely knowledgable about the park and wildlife. He was very patient answering all of our questions. We never would have seen all of this wildlife with our novice eyes driving through the park. Highly recommend!

Expert Eye Trained Guide in the Park - Levi was so knowledgeable about the Animals, Trees and history of Yellowstone. We would never of been able to see so many animals if it were not for his trained eye. We were so lucky to see a scene with a Wolf eating a baby Bison. He made the trip relaxing and fun. We for sure were in great hands and would go again.
