We loved the experience, being it a private tour we had all the attention and explanation we needed with two grandkids . Amazing viewings of all kinds of animals!
We had a wonderful time on our tour. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to see wildlife we would have never caught on our own. Highly recommend.
Adam was truly AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable, not only on all the wildlife but the history of the park. The whole family loved it and he was such a pleasure to be around. 10/10 experience
Eleanor, it was great to spend the day with your group. I happy to hear you had a great time thanks for taking the time to write this review. Adam
Jesse is the man! We saw almost every animal in Yellowstone with his eagle eyes and scope. He was so patient with our 5 boys and pumped them full of knowledge which they enjoyed. He was also awesome at answering all my questions about the rest of our trip since we had our tour with him on day 1 of our vacation. Adam was also amazing at helping us plan the trip of our dreams! I couldn't recommend this company enough!
Our Safari tour started slow, but quickly turned around with many species like wolves, bears, and mountain goats! Despite the slow morning, Jesse kept us entertained with fun facts and a comprehensive understanding of Yellowstone's history, geology, and wildlife. He was great at helping us scope out animals and was even awesome enough to stick around a good while extra before exiting the park when we spotted another bear & cub, last minute. Jesse was also very attentive to when we needed a restroom or snack break. I'd also say even the lunch was great, with tasty sandwiches while cute ground squirrels scurried by. Although you never know what you'll see any particular day, I would definitely recommend checking this out!
Nicholas, I am glad to hear that you had a good time with Jesse. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Adam
Saroya was an outstanding guide who gave us lots of information about the Park and the animals. She knew the places to find the wildlife and we saw black bears, a grizzly, fox, badger, bald eagle, a wolf den and more. Tied to Nature trip was well planned and gave good instructions before our tour date. We highly recommend Tied to Nature!
Sariah, is an outstanding guide I am happy to hear you enjoyed your day with her. Adam
WOW! What a great experience. We wanted to see the wildlife in Yellowstone and this tour did not disappoint! We saw the big stars like grizzlies, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and black bears. We saw plenty of bison and antelopes. We saw the little guys like ground squirrels and yellow bellied marmots. We saw raptors like ospreys, bald eagles, and peregrine falcons. In short, we saw almost every animal on our bucket list. Only the Yellowstone wolves evaded us, but you can't win them all. Our guide was fantastic, full of knowledge about Yellowstone, it's history, and the animals that reside within it. I highly recommend booking this tour!
Bill, sounds like you had a great trip. I am glad to hear you had a good time with John. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Adam
Our Private Yellowstone Wildlife Sightseeing Tour was amazing! Our guide, Sariah, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife we were thrilled to see, while also sharing fascinating information about Yellowstone’s geology and history. She took us to the best viewing locations in a very comfortable van, allowing us to fully enjoy several sites and wildlife encounters up close. Everyone in our group was impressed with the entire experience — we saw almost every animal we had hoped to see, several at a safe but remarkably close distance. The convenient pick-up location and delicious picnic lunch made the day even better. Highly recommend Tied to Nature for anyone visiting Yellowstone!
Paige, thanks for the taking the time to leave a review. We are happy that you had such a great time with Sariah. Adam
Just completed a full day tour of northern Yellowstone park with Tied to Nature. They have been wonderful to work with. Starting with the planning process, Adam the owner was so helpful and patient answering the numerous questions I had. He helped me plan a private tour that met both my wife and my expectations completely. The guide he chose for our trip, John, was just great. So patient, polite, eager to please, and knowledgeable in regard to the animals we saw as well as the topography and areas we drove through. He was willing to adjust the trip on the fly to fit our desires as the day went on. Just had a great day trip with John. Among the many animals we encountered, some up close, were grizzly bear, black wolf, coyote, bison, bald eagle, elk, big horn sheep, and badger! And all of this was on just a one day tour!!! Would book with Tied to Nature again on our next trip back!!
What an amazing experience! Our guide Brian was wonderful, very knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife. We would definitely book again! Thanks Brian for an amazing day!!! Brian shared his experiences in the park and gave us some pointers on places in the park to look for wildlife.
