Best trip, Grant was the best guide!

It was the best way to see Yellowstone, our guide Grant, wasn’t afraid to make a u turn to set up the scopes to view Grizzlies and A moose. We saw many other animals also, he didn’t rush us.

Thank you so much for your review of your time with Grant. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your day in the park!

It was a small group tour. Our guide was Adam and he was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We saw a lot of wildlife including grizzly bears, elk, bison and a wolf. We would have never seen these animals if we had driven the park on our own. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Operator response

Thank you for this great review of your tour from Cody with Adam! We are so happy you saw so much great wildlife and enjoyed your day overall!

Guided Yellowstone Park Tour

Yellowstone Park is a once in a lifetime experience. And Adam, our guide, made the entire day smooth and enjoyable. Not having to figure out our own itinerary, and not having to do any driving, allowed us to just relax and enjoy the day. The binoculars and scopes Adam had with him allowed us to view wildlife we would otherwise never have even noticed. We would highly recommend this type of guided tour of Yellowstone, and this particular tour company.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this review. We are so happy you enjoyed your day in the Park with Adam. And thank you for your recommendation!
