    Amazing experience! Saw incredible views, wildlife, vegetation and water. Lucy offered wonderful descriptions of everything--she is so knowledgeable on so many things. Stories about the history of the area, especially outlaws, were fascinating and fun. Lucy made sure everyone was comfortable and always happy to answer anything! She was so gracious, smart and kind, she sincerely loves presenting this tour. The bus driver, Jim, was able to get through some tricky roads. Kylor was also helpful. The donuts, snacks, lunch and ice cream were yummy. A golden day for my husband and myself. Thank you!

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s great to know our team made the journey both informative and comfortable. Lucy’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge really shine through, and we’re thrilled that her storytelling added something special to your day. We’re also glad the refreshments hit the spot and that the entire crew helped things run smoothly. Sounds like it was a memorable outing for you both—thanks again for being part of it!

    Lou_K, Jul 2025
    I noticed that Le Bus had seatbelts, but I didn't see anyone use them, probably because they weren't aware of them. You may want to include an EpiPen in your first-aid kit. One of the passengers who was allergic to bee stings got stung by a bee, but didn't bring his EpiPen on the trip.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you for your helpful feedback. We appreciate you pointing out the seatbelts—you're right, not everyone may realize they’re available, and we’ll be sure to remind guests of that in the future. We’re also very grateful for your suggestion about the EpiPen. While we encourage all guests with medical needs to bring their necessary items, it’s a good reminder for us to review and potentially enhance our first-aid preparedness. Thanks again for bringing these important points to our attention.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Pamela, Thanks so much for the great review! We’re really glad you had a good time. Sounds like everything—from the guide to the bus and the stops—hit the mark. Hope we get to see you on another trip soon!

    A day well spent

    Ronald_C, Jun 2025
    This was a brief but not hasty trip around the gorge. The guides shared their knowledge from years past of workings with the BLM and recreating at the gorge. This included hiking several short trails at various stops, to sharing personal maps of the area, to sharing books of colorful characters of the past that had resided in the area, to sharing artifacts that are incorporated in the environment and the stories they told, as well as encouraging interaction with the local employees at the lake who would share further information when a person takes a more person and in-depth trip to any one of the multiple stops. There were visits present who had taken the tour multiple times and I see why. All those who wonder are not lost, but those who wonder with a guide have a task and purpose.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Hello Ronald, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad our guides helped bring the Gorge to life through stories, maps, artifacts, and personal insight. It’s wonderful to hear that even a brief trip felt rich in history and meaning—and that you can see why many return for more. We hope to see you again on another tour!

    Must do in the Rock Springs area

    The tour was fantastic! Great staff, good information, and beautiful scenery. Plenty of stops to really feel your surroundings, instead of just looking out the window. They made sure we were comfortable and provided a wonderful picnic lunch. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Nancy, Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour, the scenery, and the extra touches like the picnic lunch. Our team loves helping guests connect with the beauty around them. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon!

    My husband and I talked about the great time we had on this tour. We agreed that it was so nice to not have to drive and guess at where the great places were to stop. Got some awesome pictures! The tour employees were knowledgable and very nice.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Linda, We're so happy to hear that you and your husband had such a great time on the tour!

    Another great memory with friends!

    We were a group of seniors on a day excursion. We enjoyed every minute of the Flaming Gorge bus Tour. The weather was perfect and so were our hosts! Very beautiful country we covered and learned a lot of history about that area. Highly recommend this day tour to one and all.

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that your group enjoyed every moment of the Flaming Gorge bus tour.

    Relaxing Tour of Nature’s Marvel

    Katarzyna_C, Jul 2024
    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about Flaming Gorge and general area. She and her assistant patiently answered all questions. My teens appreciated games, provided snacks and ice cream. The bus driver did excellent job getting us safely to our destination on often treacherous roads. We rode in comfort with plenty of time to absorb all the sites. Great option for non outdoorsy types or those simply wanting relaxing experience.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Thanks for the kind words! We’re so glad you had a great time. It sounds like the tour was just what you were looking for—relaxing and fun. Hope to see you on another adventure soon!

    Best day ever!

    This tour was perfect! Great weather, comfortable bus and a brilliant tour guide. Judy was so knowledgeable about so many things--history, local lore, wildlife, the best views--and she told it all in an engaging and compelling way. She is also humorous and entertaining. The other staff, Presley and a young man whose name I can't remember, were equally helpful and attentive, making sure that everything ran smoothly. Such kindness and enthusiasm. The bus driver, Sydney, was very skillful with some challenging roads, I felt safe and comfortable. The lunch was amazing, and the donuts and ice cream were fun treats. I have lived in Rock Springs for many years, have taken this loop countless times, and I learned more today than I have during any of my prior trips. Well done! Thank you, John and Geralyn Rogers

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Thank you, John and Geralyn, for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you had a perfect tour experience.

    Great Tour

    Leslie_C, Jun 2024
    This was a really enriching experience. Exploring Wyoming was beautiful. However, having it's Old West history being relayed along the way gave it an incredible dimension. But the best part was the staff. They all went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. They were friendly, inclusive, and had lots of treats and games if we wanted to partake. Lunch was really good. This was so much more than a bus tour. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Leslie, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you found your experience in Wyoming enriching and that the Old West history added such an incredible dimension to your adventure. It's fantastic to know our staff made a positive impact with their friendliness and inclusive approach, along with the treats and games. We're glad you enjoyed the lunch as well. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we're thrilled that the tour exceeded your expectations. We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences!

    Awe Inspiring & Very Educational

    John_E, Sep 2023
    Post card quality photo opportunities! Completely enjoyable AND very informative. Lucy and Presley (spl) took us all back to class! This was our first time, but could go through 3 more times and still probably not absorb all the info! Can not say enough good about this tour! Highly recommend.

    Response from Host, Sep 2023

    John, Thank you so much for the amazing review. We're thrilled you had such a great time!

    The perfect way to see nature's wonder, Flaming Gorge.

    sandra_m, Aug 2023
    Lucy made the trip so much fun and so full of information. She always told us what to expect, she fed us snacks and lunch and water constantly, she arranged trivia games and a scavenger hunt, and she made everyone feel welcome and comfortable with their own level of participation. In spite of the bus breaking down (!), Lucy and her fellow workers Megan and Mike kept us safe and arranged a 'fix' within a very short time. The timing and length of stops was perfect. All in all, a most wonderful experience for a very fair price of time and dollars.

    Response from Host, Sep 2023

    We are thrilled that you had a great time! We did have a few hiccups that day but we are so thrilled that everything worked out the way it did! Thanks so much for the amazing review!

    What a great experience. Loved our tour and our guides. We give it a 4 star only because we would have loved hearing more stories that were more in depth. The story telling brings the area we were touring more meaning.

    The tour is the best way to see Flaming Gorge

    Alicia_B, Aug 2023
    Flaming Gorge is beautiful. The tour goes to the best overlooks to see the gorge. The tour guides were wonderful. They were knowledgeable about everything - animals, history, geology. They made sure all of our needs were met - lunch, snacks, water, bathroom. We stopped at 2 visitor centers, where you could get more information, buy things (and they told you that when we got there). Some of the breaks seemed a little short, but that was probably because I was too busy taking pictures and I can't walk too fast. They were very kind about that, too.

    Response from Host, Sep 2023

    Alicia, Thank you so much for the amazing review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your time with us.
