Lower Loop Van Tour from West Yellowstone: Grand Prismatic and Old Faithful

Rebecca_L, Nov 2025

5 plus stars

Totally totally worth the money. Joshua, our guide was so knowledgeable. Since it was the last day of the season we had a private guide to ourselves. His wife packed us the biggest sack last we have ever had. Hubby and I couldn’t eat everything. So accommodating . 5 plus stars. I am sure we would have missed so many points of interest if we had not had the guide. Thanks for the memories?”!

Awesome tour of the lower loop. Spencer was a great guide! I really enjoyed the tour as I was the only guest and was able to learn almost more than I wanted to learn about geysers and Yellowstone! Book this!

Magical Tour

My wife and I cerebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary with a private tour of Yellowstone. Our guide Kevin was second to none! He was absolutely dynamite providing exceptional hospitality and knowledge. He knew every inch of the park and had an uncanny ability to anticipate knowing what could be around every corner. We saw bison, wolves, elk, deer, grizzlies and so on.

Book! Don’t wait

We did the 12hr tour at Yellowstone with Ted. Wealth of knowledge is an understatement. Ted knows his stuff. I read a ton of reviews and no one shared how bathroom breaks look. Well.. here you go. There were plenty of flush toilets along the way (and clean) we timed our water intake to stay hydrated and stopped every hour or two if needed. Book! Don’t question and hope you get Ted!

Five Star Experience

We just wrapped up our incredible Yellowstone tour yesterday, and I can't recommend our guide, Kyle, highly enough. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about all things Yellowstone and so patient, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and had a fantastic time. The tour vehicle was excellent, and the perk of unlimited snacks and beverages (water and soda) was a thoughtful touch! Our day was perfectly split: • Morning: Dedicated to incredible wildlife viewing. • Afternoon: Exploring various amazing tourist spots. Seeing Old Faithful erupt was truly worth the wait, a definite highlight of the day. We took so many beautiful photos, and Kyle was generous enough to share some stunning captures from his own camera lens! If you're planning a trip to Yellowstone, book a tour with Kyle—it's an experience that is highly recommended!

Five stars for Kelsey!!!

We had the most incredible experience on our full-day Yellowstone tour with Kelsey! From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of energy. Her passion for the park really showed — she knew all the best spots, hidden gems, and perfect photo stops. Kelsey made the day so enjoyable with her storytelling, fun facts about the wildlife and geology, and her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and included. She made sure we saw so much without ever feeling rushed. It truly felt like exploring Yellowstone with a friend who happens to know everything about the park. If you’re considering a tour, ask for Kelsey — she made our trip unforgettable!

A wonderful tour thru the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks

What started out as a rainy morning, turned out to be a fantastic full-day guided tour. Hailey, was our van tour guide and did just a fantastic job in her knowledge of the area and the historical aspects of each little stop or points of interests! Her stories and analogies were very interesting which we could tell she enjoyed sharing them! We traveled from Jackson Hole thru the Grand Teton National Park and the lower loop of the Yellowstone National Park back to Jackson Hole. We were there the 2nd week of October which was just getting cool. Unfortunately, the colors of the Aspen trees had just turned, but a few were still very vibrant. Due to weather, some photo shots were not available but she made the best of everything. We had one other couple in the van which was a bonus for all of us. She took photos of us, if we asked, when we were at a photo moment area. She also took a few photos her self and photo dropped them into our iPhones. We actually saw Bison, Elk, a Great Gray Owl, deer, ravens, small bear in the berry bushes and of course Old Faithful! Little did we know the Great Gray Owl is very elusive and very difficult to spot. My wife and I then spent three more days in the Parks and were thankful we had booked the tour with Hailey through Viator and Brushbuck Guided Tours. AWESOME !
