We wanted to stop at the town with all the Elk and fun shopping. Driver said he couldn’t find a place to park. One of the other passengers requested he go back so he did but instead of letting us out for a designated time he parked so far away that only one person got out. Walking that far would have been too difficult for the rest of us. We were a bit disappointed for the price of the trip.

I’m so sorry that the extra upgrade at another 150$ per person value in an Open Air Mercedes wasn’t enough for you.I don’t see why you couldn’t have seen them from the full glass top van but I’m sorry about that and that you couldn’t walk but we can not control the parking situation in Yellowstone and we are only legally allowed to drive for 12 hours and your guide was late returning to Cody which is against federal regulations.I think that as a company that we did everything in our control to ensure that you would have a great tour from upgrading you to a glass top vehicle at no extra charge and your tour guide spending extra time on the tour to accommodate your needs for no extra charge.And like I said unfortunately we can not control parking but you didn’t need to get out of the vehicle to take the photo since you were in a glass top convertible Mercedes at no additional charge and then you give us a bad review.Its sad.I hate it when we go out of our way to go above and beyond and have someone that’s still not happy.This is sad.

Sally was an informative and knowledgeable tour guide. The Yellowstone Upper Loop Tour was very different from the Lower Loop and a must see on everyone's to do list.

Michael, the owner and tour guide for Cody Wyoming Adventures, could not have been a better guide. After a Comprehensive tour in a comfortable van through the lower loop. Our guide, Michael’s love for the area was apparent. Facts combined with fun=priceless!
Response from Host, Nov 2019

Our guide was Hanna; we had previously toured the lower loop, so she was very flexible by asking us what we had previously seen that might be overlap in the two tours, as she didn't want to duplicate the sights. She was knowledgeable about various aspects inside and outside the park. We saw a lot of wildlife (the highlight of the day was seeing a bear!). We appreciated going through the Lamar Valley and exiting the park via the northeast entrance. The scenic drive through the mountains back to Cody was beautiful! Let the tour company do the driving for you in/around the park; it's worth the money!

Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for writing in a great review for Hannah.Im so glad that you got to see a bear.You got lucky on that one.I love it when you get to see the bears.They are such a fun animal.I will,let Hannah know to read her reviews.She normally does anyway just because she really does care about the guests being comfortable and happy.I hope that the rest off your vacation went well,and I do really appreciate you taking the time to write in.It really means a lot to us to be able to get the feedback.We care about our guests and want them to have a good time.Thank you again,

It was an excellent day with a very knowledgeable guide. We saw things that we would not have known about on our own. Never felt rushed, except at Mammoth, where I would have like to seen more of the hot springs.
