We had the best one day tour ever. Our guide Maia, made the tour very enjoyable and fun. She was very knowledgeable about the stops we made at the park. We were fortunate to see 2 grizzly bears, she set up a couple of scopes for us so we could observe them better. We also got to see 2 bold eagles and 4 geysers. I highly recommend this tour company. They were on time, easy to work with and communicate with them.

Thank you so much for this review of your day with Maia! We are so happy you got to see some bears on top of the geothermal highlights of the Park as well. We appreciate you choosing to see Yellowstone with us!
It was wonderful. We were so much impressed of the beauty of yellowstone. And our guide Kip was very helpful and showed us the best of yellowstone.
Great tour of Yellowstone and our tour guide ,Maia, was incredible! She catered the tour to things we wanted to see and had so much knowledge.
This is a great introductory tour to Yellowstone and I would strongly recommend it. Our guide got us to Old Faithful in time to see it in action and dropped us off as parking at any of the ‘must sees’ is tricky. I would not have liked to do this independently. We really did see the ‘best of’ Yellowstone but it’s impossible to fit in everything listed on Viator unless you don’t spend any time at each stop and there are so many beautiful views to enjoy. Bear/bison jams and just stopping to enjoy things aren’t really taken into account with the timing. We went back in a couple of times ourselves on other days to do other parts of the park which weren’t so crowded as our $20 tickets were in fact 7-day passes.
Our guide Kate was lovely and very knowledgeable about the park. Drinks and snacks were freely available and lunch was great. My gluten free diet was very well catered for. Thank you.
Sabrina was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable. So glad we had her as our guide. Met our expectations and was a 10 out of 10 in value for the private tour. Thanks- Steve and Jenny!
My husband and I took a personal tour of Yellowstone yesterday. We had Matt as our guide and he was amazing. He picked us up from our hotel and was on time. He was extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of the park. He found out what we were interested in seeing and tailored the tour to accommodate it. The provided lunch and snacks were delicious. Luckily we were able to see a lot of wildlife including bison, black bear, grizzly bear, and elk. Matt provided us with binoculars and even took pictures for us . I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to stay away from large groups and see the parts of the park that you are interested in.

Thanks so much for this great review of your day out with Matt! We are always interested in what our guests are most hoping for!
Our tour driver Matt was wonderful. Picked us up and dropped us back off at our hotel. Vehicle clean. Snacks , beverages , and lunch provided. Matt was extremely informative about everything we wanted to know about. Worth the money we spent! Highly recommend.
Our tour guide Monica was absolutely wonderful. She picked us up directly from our hotel and was right on time. She was personable and knowledgeable about Yellowstone and all the animals we saw along the way. I traveled with my parents and my four-year-old daughter and Monica was able to keep the day interesting for all four of us. I couldn't recommend this tour more highly.
This was an amazing tour. Our tour guide Nate was personable, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make our day wonderful.
Absolutely fabulous!!! Yellowstone trip was perfect and simply would not have been the same experience without a guided tour. Our guide, Allen, was perfect!
Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, accomodating to our group of 6 (ages 12-78), and could spot animals we would never notice on our own. We saw so many animals including two grizzly bears, two wolves, several bison traveling solo and a large bison herd - just breathtaking! We saw all the other sites in south loop as well, but the animals were the best for our group. Highly recommended guided tours!
On time for Old Faithful with great viewing spot. Elizabeth, our guide was so knowledgeable about everything in the park. Great driver too. Worth the private tour price.

Thanks for this great review. Having a guide take care of all the logistics for you is certainly worth it! So glad you enjoyed your day with Elizabeth!
Excellent - highly recommend. Gary our guide was brilliant. A fantastic day where we saw a huge amount.
We had a private tour with Monica Robinson and she was great. We saw amazing things but she added so much to our experience.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
That’s great to hear thanks for letting us know you enjoyed your day with Monica!
What a time we had with Monica! She was brilliant and taught us so much about the animals and the plant life in the park. I am in a wheelchair, and Monica made every provision to help me see all the beauty of Yellowstone. This experience was an incredible way to celebrate our 20th anniversary!
My husband and I had a once-in-a-life time day with Best of Yellowstone tour. The road trip up to Old Faithful was exactly what I hoped for. Our expert guide Allen had his trained eye on everything possible we could see and photograph along the way. His knowledge of the ecosystems, wildlife, history, and folklore made us realize how important it is to be in the hands of an outdoor guide with serious trekking chops. Thanks forever for a beautiful time!
So much seen in in days
All the hot spot been touch
Enjoyed a lot and I was so happy
The guide was really prepared
I recommend it
Great experience overall and great knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend private tour as you get to customize experience based on your personal preferences
My husband and I visited Yellowstone for the first time last week. We opted for a private tour because we wanted the ability to tailor our limited time with the guide to our particular interests. We are so happy we chose this option and we had a wonderful day out in the park. Our guide, Gabrielle, picked us up at 6 am and we immediately hit it off like long lost friends. Gabrielle is truly a gift to this industry. She endured our rapid-fire questions with grace, and she shared from her unlimited reserves of fascinating little tidbits about everything from geology to wildlife to history to conservation and beyond. This was not only a great educational experience, but it was also a great "hang" with our new forever friend. We can't wait to see you when we come back, Gabrielle!
Kelsey was amazing! She picked us up from The Lark in Bozeman and we headed out on our Yellowstone adventure. It snowed all day and was like a winter wonderland. We felt like we had the park to ourselves. We saw herds of Elk and heard them bugling. We had a bison run towards our vehicle. Kelsey was very knowledgeable about the history of the park and took us to many of the geothermal features, including Old Faithful. Kelsey provided plenty of snacks, hot chocolate, coffee, and a picnic lunch - and even hand warmers when our hands got cold. Grateful to Kelsey for a perfect day!
Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable and certainly made our day special. Plus we got snow, which made the day special for my grandson.
Our guide Mike Mlsna from Yellowstone Safari wasn't just a driver. He quickly became a friend. This was our first time in Yellowstone. Mike was enthusiastic and a very well-educated, dedicated Naturalist. He took us through an amazing custom-tailored tour starting at West Yellowstone. Old Faithful, West Thumb, and The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone were certainly highlights. Beyond, Mike showed us geothermal sites in a dazzling array of colors. He took the time to educate us and point out many points of interest.
On the basics, Mike arrived to pick us up on time 6AM in the dark). His car was sparkling clean and well stocked with water and snacks. The lunch provided was fresh and fulfilling. All in. It was an excellent trip that far exceeded our expectations. Thank you!
Our guide Chris was terrific. Knew best places for photos, ton of info that was interesting along the way. Saw great amount of park and just could not be more pleased. Great tour company, even better tour guide !
Our Tour Guide Zach ensured that we saw the Best of Yellowstone! We really appreciated his extensive sharing of the history and all aspects of Yellowstone! We highly recommend this private tour with pickup in Bozeman!
We had an exceptional day into Yellowstone. It was the majority of the groups first time at Yellowstone. Chris did a great job educating us of the surroundings and what to expect.
Our guide, Rae was terrific. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and organized. This was an easy way for us to see significant part of Yellowstone in one day.
Mike was awesome! Very knowledgeable and he made sure we got to see highlights of yellowstone national park! I would recommend going on this tour! Plus we had an awesome group of people in our van
It was an amazing tour, the park was stunning!! Our guide, Hannah, was fantastic!! She was friendly and very knowledgeable about the park and wildlife. I can’t wait to come back!

Our tour guide Rae was amazing, very knowledgeable about the park and its history. She had a great secret lunch spot that we could watch old faithful erupt. Highly recommend!!

Thank you for offering this great review of your day with Rae! We are so happy you felt taken care of with her expertise. She is great!
We had a wonderful trip! We saw highlights of Yellowstone + wildlife. We were provided with snacks & Lunch & a lot of Yellowstone history!
Kelsey J was our guide and her love of the park is infectious. Yellowstone Safari Group's communication was phenomenal. They contacted us twice before the Guided Tour; regarding dietary needs and transportation. Kesley drove a Ford Expedition that day, it is was very comfortable (easy to get in and out of at the stops). The snacks provided were bountiful and the lunch was very good. We told YSG that we wanted to know the history and fun information about Yellowstone and the area; they definitely placed us with the correct guide. Highly recommend Kelsey as your guide.
