We had an amazing adventure and saw the best sights. Dan Wilson was the best tour person, his love of nature, we left with a whole new outlook on our beautiful land. We had several laughs and memories we will never forget. We will be talking about our adventure with Dan the man for many years to come! Can't thank him enough!

Joe B and Daniel led a 5 star tour of Yellowstone! Magnificent day. The guides went above and beyond to make us comfortable and told us cowboy stories, Yellowstone historical facts and stopped so efficiently that we saw more than was promised. Joe also group shared pics of the animals we saw with the spotting scope. This tour is an essential stop if you are visiting Jackson .

I can’t say enough good things about Joe and the amazing Yellowstone tour he gave us. From the moment we started, Joe’s energy and passion for the park were contagious. He wasn’t just knowledgeable about the history, geology, and wildlife, he made the experience fun and engaging, weaving in stories and little details that you’d never get from just reading a guidebook. What stood out the most was how attentive and thoughtful Joe was throughout the trip. He made sure everyone was comfortable, answered every question with patience, and even tailored the stops to what our group was most interested in seeing. Whether it was pointing out a hidden spot for the best view, spotting wildlife before anyone else noticed, or giving us fun facts that brought the park’s history to life, Joe went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. Yellowstone is breathtaking on its own, but Joe truly made the tour unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, friendly, and genuinely loves what they do, I highly recommend Joe. He turned a beautiful trip into an extraordinary adventure.

Yellowstone Lower Loop Full-Day Tour with Dan

Hermelinda_N, Jul 2026
We had a fantastic Yellowstone Lower Loop Full‑Day Tour with Dan. Yellowstone is such an expansive park, and he made it easy by guiding us through all the major highlights without ever feeling rushed. Dan was friendly, easygoing, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing great personal stories that brought each stop to life. He managed our time well, pointed out details we would’ve missed, and was very accommodating throughout the day. A wonderful way to experience Yellowstone.

Yellowstone Lower Loop Excursion

Frank_L, Jul 2026
Great experience overall. Got to see all the main sites of interest and more. Our tour guide David was great, very knowledgeable and extremely in tune with the environment. Highly recommend this excursion.

Dan is the man to guide you!

Debra_S, Jul 2026
Be sure to get Dan as a guide. No one loves this part of the world more than he does. His exuberance is infective. We experienced this tour with a family of six adults. We all agreed that the guide made all the difference!

Amamzing trip to Yellowstone

Minakshi_C, Jul 2026
John, our guide was amazing. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. On time pick up, delicious lunch, he kept us on track and we got to see all of the main sites as he guided us and educated us. The owners were wonderful, they returned my call and answered all of my questions.

A good way to get a feel of Yellowstone.

Alena_A, Jul 2026
We enjoyed this tour. Shane was a great tour guide! This is a great way to experience the park if you are pressed on time and want to get the most out of it. Highly recommend.

Great Guide! Beautiful Tour! Worth it!

Lisa_M, Jul 2026
It’s a long day, but it’s the perfect way to experience Yellowstone’s most iconic and breathtaking attractions in a single tour. Our guide, David, was outstanding. He was punctual, friendly, and professional from start to finish. Throughout the day, he made sure everyone was comfortable, hydrated, and enjoying the experience. His knowledge of the park was impressive, and he shared fascinating information about Yellowstone’s wildlife, geology, and recreational opportunities. David was also an excellent driver and always kept a careful eye on every member of the group whenever we stopped, which made us feel safe and well cared for. His familiarity with the park’s schedules and traffic patterns allowed us to visit the major attractions with minimal waiting, making the most of our time. My group thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and David played a huge part in making it such a memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour… and if you’re lucky enough to have David as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic day!

Mark_H, Jul 2026
It was a FULL day from pickup to drop off but well worth it. Shane was an excellent guide and shared his knowledge well to make it even better.

Best sight in 1 day with a great tour guide

Tour: lowered loop of Yellowstone.

Gene_H, Jul 2026
Joe B is a very supportive guide. He explained in simple, plain English the geology that created the scenic features. He made sure no one was left behind.

Solo Traveler seeing it all!

Crystal_K, Jul 2026
Saw so much!! It was a long day but so worth it. Saw all the sights and lots of animals. Joe was so knowledgeable and helpful. What a great experience!!!

It is way easier with a driver

Robert_D, Jul 2026
You cannot do this on your own! Our guide, David, is a great driver and knows the various shortcuts around the park, where to park, will drop you off and go and park, etc. We say more with him than we could have on our own. Excellent driver. Personable. Money well spent. I was able to take pictures and look for animals instead of concentrating on driving.

Highly recommended

Alejandro_G, Jul 2026
Highly recommended, you visit the park's most important landmarks in one day (and may see some animals too!!!). Also, our guide Shane did a great job of providing information and entertainment during the trip.

A Fun Adventure

Tiffany_T, Jun 2026
Our tour guide Shane was a lot of fun!! The group was a great team we really enjoyed getting to know one another and the beautiful surroundings of Yellowstone Park

Yellowstone Rocks!

Julie_T, Jun 2026
It was a perfect experience for a solo traveler. I was able to sit back and enjoy the amazing beauty of Yellowstone without having to worry about navigating to each location. Joe B was a wonderful guide, informative, patient and gracious. Even though the weather prohibited us from viewing the prismatic pool, Joe provided another opportunity later in the day so we wouldn’t miss seeing a similar feature at another location in the park when the weather cooperated. He was good at adapting to accommodate the weather

Fantastic Tour - Well Worth Time and Expense

Matthew_W, Jun 2026
Long day, but we checked every box! Tour guide (Joe) was awesome and knew so much it made the trip very educational.

Absolutely Amazing Experience

Teton Scenic Lower Loop Tour

Joseph_G, Jun 2026
It was nice to have a professional tour guide get us to the best spots for the Lower Loop sites. On top of that the wildlife that we encountered was amazing. Our tour guide Andy was very knowledgeable on the area and history.

Highly Recommend!

Danielle_S, Jun 2026
A great way to explore the lower loop of Yellowstone. While others were waiting to get in to parking lots, we were dropped off and had plenty of time to explore top sites. Eddie even got us to the best spots to see bison, elk, and a grizzly bear. We missed out on seeing a moose, but I'll take the grizzly any day.

I would do it again

Mary_H, Jun 2026
Great experience! Our guide David was perfect. He was sooo knowledgeable about everything we were seeing and the day passed fast. Old Faithful and the thermal pools. So beautiful. Highly recommend this tour.

Aimee_F, Jun 2026
Lower loop tour with Shane was great! He was very knowledgable about Yellowstone, hit all the big highlights and navigated parking well. Shane also had a light sense of humor and had fun with our group - a plus - would recommend!

The tour guide explained...

JAEWON_Y, Jun 2026
The tour guide explained us about the Yellowstone. And he was so friendly and welcoming. I could see a bunch of wild animals. It was super great!

Awesome in the true sense of the word.

Rose_N, Jun 2026
Dan was absolutely the best tour guide for this experience. His love for the animals and the parks and his deep knowledge of the history and geology and wildlife of the area made our entire trip so enriching. Given that this is the lower loop and the park is so huge, Dan had to keep us on a pretty tight schedule - which I appreciated because it enabled us to also have time when there was wildlife to see spontaneously. He also invited us to ask questions and guide our own experience as much as we would like, but he also used his best judgment to make sure we had the best experience possible in the time we had. Seeing this part of the world is a life-changing experience. I am just so grateful that we did it, and got to do it with a group of people who were fully engaged the entire time. There were only nine of us in total, which made everything a little more intimate and manageable. I would not want to do this with a large tour group. You need time to appreciate what you are seeing and be awestruck by the wonder of it all. Also, I just have to add that the picnic lunch was fantastic. All dietary restrictions were well handled and that’s a challenge for us! Well done to the tour company for checking with us again two days before to verify everything. So professional. We loved this experience. I would not recommend this for small kids (they won’t have the patience or stamina, and would ruin it for others) but if you have well behaved kids from about age 9+, this would be great. It’s way too much driving and parking in crowds to do in your own if you don’t have to. Book it, enjoy and be present! And tell Dan the Nyte family said hi.

Excellent Experience

Jennifer_G, Jun 2026
This is a great way to get to see a lot of the area in a small time frame.Luke is super friendly, very knowledgeable and just really passionate about this beautiful area. Highly recommend!!

Cindy_F, Jun 2026
Our guide, Eddie is one of the best guides that we've ever had. He literally made the trip and tour for us and our group. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was accommodating, friendly and made every effort for us to see everything we possibly can on the tour and within safety. The tour was wonderful and we were lucky to have a great group but if it wasn't for Eddie being our guide, we are absolutely certain it would not have been the same. So thank you Eddie and your team for making this tour so memorable for us! We will definitely book again on our return!

Amazing Yellow Stone

Melanie_E, Jun 2026
The full day Yellow Stone tour was absolutely amazing. My sister and I were picked up and dropped off at our Inn, which was very convenient. Our tour guide, David, was very knowledgeable, fun, and very attentive to the needs of everyone on the tour. The many attractions and viewing sites were easy to access and David was always nearby answering questions and keeping a watchful eye on my sister and me. We are both in our seventies with some limitations. The picnic lunch was delicious and more than I could eat. This tour of Yellow Stone was amazing! I recommend the tour with five stars!
