    Amazing day in Yellowstone! The geothermal features were amazing! Elizabeth was our guide and she was so sweet and so knowledgeable! She took us to all the great spots! We saw lots of wildlife and a lot of geysers. She perfectly timed our old faithful experience! And we had the most ideal lunch on the Yellowstone Lake! I highly recommend this tour!

    Our Yellowstone tour was amazing! Our guide Elizabeth was awesome! The tour and Elizabeth were a 10 out of 10!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you so much for the high rating, we appreciate it so much!

    Amazing tour!

    Robin_D, Jun 2025
    If I could give 100 stars, I would! We had an amazing time on our tour today, and our guide, Elizabeth, was phenomenal! She was so knowledgeable and took us to all the areas we wanted to see, plus some other spots she wanted to show us. We saw so much wildlife, and when our tour was over, she gave us a map and marked some more areas that she recommended that she knows we’ll like! I wish we could bring her with us on our other trips we’ll be taking into the park!

    Yellowstone Safari Tour

    This is a tour that highlights both wildlife and the natural wonders that Yellowstone offers. Matt Macoy, our guide, was knowledgeable, personable and had a good sense of humor, which made the trip both fun and educational. It is also a small group tour (7 people on this trip) which allowed for good interaction between all of us on the trip. The combination of an experienced guide, good weather and the wonders of Yellowstone made for a memorable trip.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Great to hear! Yellowstone in summer can be magic. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your small group grip with Matt and that you all enjoyed the Park together.

    I had a very good time.

    Jay_R, Sep 2024
    I had a very good time seeing the falls, pools, and old faithful. The tour guide was very informative.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Great thank you for letting others know!

    Great Tour

    We saw lots of wildlife. Randolph our guide, was very knowledgeable! He planned our picnic lunch perfectly at the Old Faithful Inn.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thanks for taking time to send this review. Planning is a big part of our day and we make sure to get our guests to the best picnic spots, sometimes to see a geyser erupt!

    Knowledgeable Guide

    Tim_T, Aug 2024
    Our group of four had a fantastic day with Hannah, our guide. She is so knowledgeable and friendly. Yes, we had a car and could have driven ourselves, but there was so much information we wouldn’t have known without Hannah. We did a half day Lower Loop Tour. The lunch and snacks provided hit the spot, delicious. Yellowstone is a beautiful park. We are so happy we booked the tour.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Thank you for this great review of your day with Hannah! We are so happy you enjoyed the day with her and all our amenities provided. We are so glad you chose to see the Park with us!

    Excellent tour

    Suzie_M, Aug 2024
    Our guide Hannah was fun and knowlegeable. We saw all the highlights of the lower loop. Best part was we didn't have to drive and find parking spots!

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Thanks for this great review of your day with Hannah! Going out with a guide is such a great way to see the Park from a locals perspective and we are happy you felt that!

    Well worth the price of the trip, due to our guide Kelsey

    Debra_G, Jul 2024
    Kelsey with Yellowstone safari co: was the best tour guide i / we have ever had with Viator! Extremely knowledgeable about the park’s natural and social history, wild life, and was able to hit all the greatest sites of the park . Kelsey was very personable, friendly, and enthusiastic the entire several hours we were in the park. She loves her job and it shows! Had plenty of snacks and cold drinks (wow, the park was hot the tour day), lunch was really good and we had great picnic spot by Yellowstone river. We saw lots of wildlife (a bison swimming and a bull elk running in front of us were 2 highlights). Kelsey was very attuned to everyone’s comfort and answered all of the questions thoughtfully. It was awesome she could give us insiders tips : where to stand to get the best unobstructed views for old faithful and the lower falls / Grand Canyon of the park. And offered to take pictures of the family at every site . Give this woman a raise!

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Thank you for this thorough review of your day in the Park with Kelsey! She is awesome, and we are so happy to work with her. We always aim to give our guests the best and most personal, comfortable experience as possible. Thank you for choosing to see the Park with us!

    GREAT tour for 1st time to Yellowstone

    Carol_M, Jun 2024
    This was our first time to the park and it was so nice to have Hannah driving, navigating and sharing information instead of doing this on our own. There were snacks and water available throughout the trip and a nice picnic lunch. The park was busy but Hannah was able to take us to all the places promised. She was very knowledgeable and attentive to our every need. The van was comfortable and roomy for us. She took us to many of her favorite places and explained why. She also gave us information of other places to visit if we returned on our own. We definitely had a great day in the park!

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Thanks for taking the time to send this review and commenting on the value of using a guide to see the Park. So glad you had a great day out with Hannah!

    What a wonderful day we passed with our guide Hanna. She was so kind and we were impressed by her work.

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Thank you! We will let Hannah know you enjoyed your day with her.

    Great Lifetime Experience

    ldhylbak, Jun 2024
    Got to see many wild animals and Old Faithful but no other geysers. Saw many other hot springs and mud pots. We were impressed with the Old Faithful Inn and its architecture out of native logs. The gift shop was really nice and full of wonderful things to look at and enjoy. The sack lunch was lacking since the bread was very dry and no mayonnaise.

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Thank you so much for your feedback and for giving us a high recommendation. We will talk to our caterer to make sure we get some condiments on board!

    Perfect tour of Yellowstone

    We had a wonderful driver, Gary, but the rental van lacked a lot. He was very informative and made sure everyone had a great time.

    Response from Host, Sep 2023

    Thank you for offering this review. We acknowledge we had to rent a vehicle at the last minute, but would prefer to have done this rather than cancel your tour. We are fortunate to have an amazing guide team and are so happy he made the day for you.

    Great experience

    ellen_t, Aug 2023
    I had booked this tour for over 6 months & was charged only a few days before our tour date which was nice in case something came up & I received email that I can cancel at said date as a reminder. We were picked up on time at our designated area. The tour guide was very knowledgeable & took good care of us. I will book future tours via aviator again

    Disappointed

    SharonIvy_G, Aug 2023
    Our guide was wonderful. We were misled about the length of the trip. We were promised 8-10 hours from west Yellowstone. There were supposed to be 11 stops . We only went to 5. They arrived half an hour late and only spent 5 1/2 hours in the park. They counted travel time picking up other customers as part of the tour. This is contrary to the description given. We missed more than half the destinations because of this. This warrants a partial refund. We are very disappointed.

    Response from Host, Aug 2023

    Hi there. We are are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. It’s with noting that we are required to give a General itinerary for our Viator listing, and that we cannot guarantee a stop at every location listed. Our public trips also make clear that guides have multiple stops so to allow for some variation on pickup time. It sounds like you started and ended in West Yellowstone, which is about 6-7 hours in the Park for us. That being said, we would be happy to discuss returning something to you for your disappointment. Please email ash@yellowstonesafari.com or call 406-586-1155 and ask to speak to the manager Ash. Thank you

    Our guide was very informative and pleasant.

    Francois_M, Jul 2023
    Our visit to Yellowstone Park was beautiful. The description that you list on the website is very misleading. First of all the park entrance fee of $20 per person should be included in the total price. Further, the itinerary listed would lead you to believe that this trip would include that you would visit each site stated in your excursion itinerary during the 8-9 hour trip. The trip did not. The Park is overcrowded and delays were incurred therefore our Guide rushed us. We ate lunch on our knees while driving. This full day excursion is not worth the money you charged. Totally overpriced

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Thank you for taking the time to offer this review for us and our company. We appreciate your feedback and understand that visiting the Park in the Summertime can be challenging in terms of timing. It sounds like the guide was trying to make the most of your day with a lunch in the car. So you know, we do not include the Park fees on any of our tours, so guests can choose what kind of pass they want to purchase and that money goes directly to the Park. We have no control over the visitation in the Park and the guides work very hard to get our guests to as many sights as possible. We hope you can understand and hope that your day was overall enjoyable. All the best
