Amazing first morning tour as introduction to Yellowstone. Guide made early contact and made sure we were able to catch early morning viewing of wildlife and scenery on a dreary day. Even saw a grizzly bear and guide was as excited as we were!

Great early morning tour

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled your first morning in Yellowstone was such a memorable one. Early starts can make all the difference, especially on those quieter, moody mornings when wildlife is on the move, and we’re so glad your guide helped make that happen seamlessly. Seeing a grizzly is always an incredible moment, and we love that your guide shared in that excitement right alongside you. That shared energy and passion is exactly what we strive to bring to every tour. We truly appreciate you choosing Yellowstone’s Casanova Guided Tours to kick off your adventure and hope to be part of your next visit!

Jack was an awesome tour...

Kathy_C, Oct 2024
Jack was an awesome tour guide. He was so knowledgeable of the area and was very passionate about what he does. He taught us so much. He could answer every question we asked. I highly recommend this tour. All 5 of us enjoyed it!

Great trip, better guide.

DAVID_W, Sep 2024
Jackson is an absolute jewel who provided an unforgettable experience for us. Use bread, not ciabatta or brioche buns.

Five Stars.

Jerry_F, Aug 2024
Brian was an excellent host and guide. He was so knowledgeable of the area and wildlife. Where and how to look for the maximum experience. He is a quality gentleman and a great asset to your company. Keep this man busy, he is a true professional. We went a private couple charter. Very personalize.

Yellowstone Lower Loop

Kimberly_S, Jul 2024
Isaac was an awesome tour guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating! We would have not been able to experience the Lower Loop to the degree we did without his expertise! He guided us to all the highlights and educated us on each one. Isaac knew the answers to ALL of our questions. It was a fantastic day!

Amazing

Chace_H, Jul 2024
Jackson was great and did a wonderful job!! He knew all sorts of random facts related to the park and the wildlife. You can tell he really enjoys his work and takes pride in what he does.

Not the private tour we expected

Brian_S, Jun 2024
So the sights were still beautiful and it wasn’t a bad day….but for the cost of such a tour we had expected more. The inclusions stated breakfast but that was just cereal bars or pop tarts. Our tour guide was more like having a local friend show you around than a professional guide that we experienced on our other tours. Would choose a different ViP tour company for this kind of money

Response from Host, Jul 2024

So sorry to hear this, as we usually have quite the opposite response. Would love to talk and get your feedback, as I believe you had our newest guide, as your tour guide. We certainly apologize that this was not the experience you were hoping for.

Perfect day

Joyce_C, Jun 2024
Best day ever with Jackson. He knew the park backwards and forwards. Knew how to save time but still see everything. Loved his knowledge of animals and plantation and park history. Perfect day!

Yellowstone Family Trip

Deborah_S, Jun 2024
This tour suited our family (7 adults and two children) perfectly. We appreciate the private tour because it was tailored to our interests. We saw all of the lower loop sites promised and a few surprises. Our guide, Brian, was knowledgeable, courteous and personable. He was conversationable without being chatty which was just what you want in a guide. And, he picked us up at our vacation rental which was a huge plus. The lunch provided was plentiful with sandwich selections for the varied tastes in our group. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, but Brian made a very good tour Great!

Lower Loop Fun

Gregory_J, Jun 2024
Casanova tours is a very good company . Our guide , Jackson , shared lots of park , geological and nature knowledge . He showed us wonderful water falls and geysers .He also went out of his way to show us a Grizzly bear and Elk . Couldn’t have asked for a better day .

We had a very enjoyable...

Kami_R, May 2024
We had a very enjoyable time with Jack as our guide. The goal for our vacation was to enjoy a piece of Yellowstone without having to worry about traveling logistics or plans within the park. Not only was that goal achieved, but we learned more than we could have imagined from Jack. He is incredibly knowledgable and passionate about his work, wildlife, environment, and history of Yellowstone. His laid back approach made it a very relaxing and non-stress trip, even with the one "Bison jam" we ran into. :) I would highly and strongly recommend this tour to any family looking to disconnect a bit and enjoy the beauty of Yellowstone with everything planned, including a delicious lunch and an abundance of snacks for the day! Thank you Jack, truly. Reinhard Faminly

Money well spent

Sarah_G, Jul 2023
Our family had a tour with Jackson. He was amazing, very knowledgeable, and made our Yellowstone experience fantastic. We absolutely would have missed out on some awesome things if we hadn’t booked this tour. So glad I booked this for my family. Came with sandwiches that were pretty good, lots of snacks, and water. Jackson had a scope attached to his camera for viewing wildlife, and binoculars for everyone. Would definitely book this again if returning!!!

Fantastic Time in Yellowstone

Cindy_L, Jul 2023
The falls were beautiful. We thought Jack our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area. We had a group of small children and he was patient with them. We appreciated being picked up where we were staying in Island Park. Thank you for a memorable time for our family.

Very nice experience

Jiajie_W, Jul 2023
Jackson is very professional and amazingly knowledgeable. He is really great with kids and will accommodate all needs from our group.

Great guide, great service, good food! Will do again

Bonnie_H, Jul 2023
Jack was knowledgeable and kind. The oldest in our group was struggling and he slowed down for her to keep up. We picked his brain about all the plants and geology and he was great! The best part? That’s hard! Old Faithful and all the hot springs were great, but they were even better by having Jack along to explain things and give us all the information along the way.

Wonderful experience.

BetteJ_R, Jun 2023
Jack was an amazing guide. Very informative, considerate and mannerly. Gave us great tips where to go for the next day. Wish we could have him with us as we head to Glacier.

Amazing Trip

Sherry_C, Jun 2023
The tour guide was Great! Very knowledgeable and you could tell he loved him job. He was very accommodating to our needs and delivered a great picnic lunch. Yellow Stone is a.azing and breathless and mind boggling. I would go back in a heartbeat! The only complaint was we felt like maybe we didn't get to see as many sites as we were suppose to. We had told the guide we had already saw one of the planned sites the day before on our own, but he did replace it with another site. He drove right past two or three sites you would have liked to see but didn't stop. Other then that the day was marvelous!

Awe inspiring…

Ada_M, May 2023
Our tour guide made the park come to life. We experienced the animals, waterfalls, and geo thermal pools. This trip inspired awe.

Response from Host, May 2023

So happy to hear about the wonderful experience you had! Thank you for letting us be your guide to adventure!!

Best Yellowstone Tour Ever

Vickie_I, May 2023
We saw 2 grizzly bears and their cubs. Two of the cubs were only a month old. They were adorable. We went to see the animals and we were not disappointed. Jackson, our tour guide knew all the right spots to take us to and we saw plenty.

Response from Host, May 2023

So glad you had a great tour! We are happy we were able to guide you on your Yellowstone adventure!

Jack of Cassanova Tours is outstanding - We learned so Much!

Elizabeth_G, May 2023
Excellent tour of Yellowstone National Park with Jack! He is a fountain of knowledge and kept us informed and engaged all day. The tour was well-planned and felt just right in terms of pace and tempo. The communication with the tour company was also excellent - we heard from the tour operator at a few intervals and with great clarity and enthusiasm. Don't waver about which tour to take at Yellowstone - Cassanova is a no brainer. You will not be disappointed. If you're lucky enough to get Jack as a tour guide, you will have a day you will never forget.

Response from Host, May 2023

So glad it was such a great day for you all! We love having groups like you! You make our adventures everlasting, as well! Hope we see you again, someday!

Bucket list trip

Dawn_K, May 2023
We came for sister in laws 60th birthday. Kyle was AMAZING. Very knowledgeable about wildlife and the park. Lunch and snacks delicious and plentiful. I HIGHLY recommend Kyle and this tour!!!!

Response from Host, May 2023

So glad you had a wonderful trip! Thanks for letting us be your guide to adventure!

Terrific experience

Mary_R, Oct 2022
This was such a great tour. Our guide, Jack, is so knowledgeable. He told us all about the geologic features of the park, the animals and the history of the park. We not only learned a lot. We saw places we never would have without a guide. I want to add that he was prompt, pleasant, and made sure we knew how to be safe.

Great Lower Loop tour with Luke

Kelly_S, Oct 2022
Really enjoyed our lower loop tour with Luke. Started with the Geyser basin and finished at the Canyon falls. Luke’s knowledge of Yellowstone made the trip super interesting. Really enjoyed the Lake Lodge insider basement tour.

Well worth it for this private tour

Anh_A, Oct 2022
I learned so much about the geothermal features in Yellowstone. What a unique tour! Jackson was so great and always made sure we were comfortable. He even broke down the bathroom ratings to prepare us at each stop :)

Response from Host, Oct 2022

So glad to hear you had a great time with Jackson. We certainly hope to welcome you back someday.
