“The private wildlife tour exceeded our expectations. Emma, our guide, provided an unforgettable experience. I captured incredible photos of Grizzlies, eight Big Horn rams, and a herd of Elk against a stunning snowy mountain backdrop. We also spotted swans, bison, and marmots, making the day truly exceptional. Emma's knowledge of the area was impressive, and she recommended fantastic dining options and offered helpful tips for our stay in Yellowstone and the Tetons. It was such a remarkable experience that I plan to return with my teenage grandson next fall, so he can appreciate everything we saw. And Emma, we found that bakery you recommended for the delicious white chocolate cranberry nut cookies you shared with us during lunch.”— Dana_W

“Yellowstone was truly an incredible experience overall. However, it was somewhat frustrating to be picked up later than expected. The seating was less than ideal for those who are among the last pickups; my husband and I found ourselves sitting apart so we could each have a window seat. I wished we could have spotted more wildlife, even though we did see a bear and two large elk on our own trip from Cody. I really enjoyed my time in Yellowstone, and it was nice not to drive after all the traveling we had done, but in the future, I might choose to drive myself instead of taking the tour.”— Wendy_M
