This was a fantastic tour and a large part of the awesomeness was our guide Scott. Yellowstone is a must do but you need to do it with a guide like Scott. We learned so much more because we didn't know all the questions we should ask but he filled in facts along the way that allowed us to ask and learn so much more than we ever imagined. We saw so many unbelievable views and we walked away with such a bigger appreciation for this park with Scott's help. Can't say enough nice things about this park and our guide.

John was a fantastic tour guide! We had an amazing day spotting elk, bison, a bald eagle, a grizzly and even two moose from far away. It was a really unique way to explore the park and learn more.

Having never been to Yellowstone we wanted a private tour that we could customize to see what we wished and neither one of us had to drive. We lucked out as our guide, John, was so knowledgeable about the park and he was happy to show us all the gorgeous scenery. John was determined to find us loads of wildlife. We saw Bison, Elk and even a Mama Grizzly with three cubs! We won't forget waiting in what John called the Bear Jam for the Grizzly to move so we could get a good picture of her. So happy that we chose Tied to Nature for our tour, it surpassed all our expectations.

We had a great first time experience at Yellowstone, even if the weather didn't cooperate at times during the day. We got to see Old Faithful and even the Beehive Geyer erupt. The Beehive one is unpredictable so that was a bonus! Other standouts were the herds of Bison in the park as well as an eagle perched atop a tree (our guide, Brian, brought a zoom lens to attach to his camera (on a tripod) so we could see it up close...great add-on for this experience) and an osprey nest. Brian was friendly and informative which everyone in our party appreciated. I would recommend this tour and would use this company again.

6 of us did a full day Yellowstone tour with our guide, John! Absolutely so worth it! John knew exactly where to go and what to do and was able to spot so much wildlife! He is so knowledgeable on the area and shared lots of information. He took amazing pictures for us as well! 100% recommend doing this tour with John! Thanks John, from your Indiana friends!

We had the most amazing experience with our tour! Our children are 8, 10 and 12 and were so engaged the entire day with the information our tour guide shared with us. The knowledge of the park, history of everything in it, experience of visiting and knowing exactly where to take us based on what we were interested in was incredible. Couldn’t recommend this more! Scott was amazing and a treasure for his team and the park!

We are a family of 4 (with 2 teenage girls - age 13 & 15). We were looking forward to a tour of the south loop of Yellowstone. John was our tour guide and was fantastic! He was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. A highlight was seeing a buffalo herd in Hayden and they passed right by us in the car on the road! Great pics/video. John came prepared with binoculars and a scope and he was able to spot a wolf in Hayden as well. We watched as the wolf made his way across Hayden Valley - what a treat! We also got amazing pictures of elk (close up), a swan and bald eagles. We visited the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Old Faithful Geyser and the historic Old Faithful Inn. We got amazing pictures of The Grand Prismatic Spring. John was great about taking pics of the family and knew all the best spots/angles for the best pics. We had a great time as a family and would highly recommend!

Kyle was an amazing tour guide. He made Yellowstone come alive with history and animal facts. Having the inside scoop on where to be made each site so much more exciting .

Adam with Tied to Nature(his company) was a fabulous guide. I highly recommend booking with him. We saw a black bear, a couple grizzlies, elk, bison, bald eagle and the lower loop sites. He was very informative and made the tour ride extremely enjoyable. My whole family was happy. Thank you Adam!
