Casanova Guided Tours and our guide Tauni provided an unforgettable experience in Yellowstone. Thanks to her expert knowledge, we spotted a wild grizzly bear and wolves. Tauni is a fantastic guide, well-informed about wolves and the park's wildlife. If you want to explore less-traveled areas and see remarkable species, book with Casanova Guided Tours for your Yellowstone adventure. Check out our journey with Tauni on our ExploringNotBoring YouTube Channel.
Tauni, the owner and our guide, provided the highlight of our trip. She greeted us early at a local hotel near the park entrance, and her vehicle was stocked with coffee, oatmeal, pastries, snacks, and spotting scopes. Each of us received binoculars for the tour. As we entered the park, she shared valuable insights about its history and landscape. We witnessed a wolf challenging a coyote over a carcass from hundreds of yards away, made possible by her sharp spotting skills. Later, we spotted another pack of wolves on a ridge, an experience we would have missed without her expertise. The day's highlight was observing a grizzly bear digging for grubs just a few dozen yards from us. For lunch at Old Faithful, we enjoyed premade sandwiches, fresh vegetables, and tasty snacks and drinks. While viewing wildlife was the main attraction, Tauni's photographic guidance was commendable; she found a private vantage point away from the crowds at Old Faithful, offering us an uninterrupted view. Throughout the day, she documented us with video and photos, sharing them afterward. This tour was an incredible value and truly the best part of our trip. It was so exceptional that we chose not to return to Yellowstone as we doubted it could be as enjoyable again. Though spotting animals in Yellowstone depends on luck and timing, Tauni significantly enhanced our chances. Had we visited the same locations alone, we would have missed much of what we saw and lacked context for our experiences. Ultimately, we saw everything we hoped for, and it kept my two teenage sons off their phones. Highly recommended for anyone considering a trip. As a side note, when a boardwalk was slippery near a geothermal pool, Tauni did more than just warn my wife; she ensured her safety by steadying her, going above and beyond expectations.
We had an amazing experience in Yellowstone. My son and I traveled to Bozeman, MT in April and took our first tour into Yellowstone. Our guides, Tauni and Jack from Casanova Guided Tours, were fantastic. It was truly a unique experience, and we learned a great deal. They knew the best spots for photography and how to find wildlife in its natural environment. I highly recommend this tour group; they are very knowledgeable and flexible with pickup at our location.
Mammoth Springs was an incredible experience. Jack proved to be an excellent guide, making the trip very enjoyable. I highly recommend it and especially appreciated seeing all the wildlife.
Thrifty car rental provided an excellent experience. In contrast, Dollar was a nightmare. My flight arrived under an hour late, but Dollar canceled my reservation and said no cars were available. We then visited Thrifty next door, where the staff was incredible and secured us a car at the same rate. Thank you, Thrifty!
This was an amazing experience and the pinnacle of our vacation. Our guide Jackson exceeded our expectations, making the day unforgettable. We encountered numerous animals, and Jackson provided insightful information during our stops. Our group, ranging from ages 16 to 75, was thoroughly impressed. This excursion comes highly recommended.
We had an incredible day exploring Yellowstone. Our guide Isaac was truly passionate about the park and its wildlife, leading us to breathtaking views. As the only group on the tour, we focused on wildlife in the north loop, particularly in Lamar Valley. We were fortunate to spot a mother grizzly and her cubs being watched by a wolf shortly after entering from Gardiner, MT. Isaac ensured we had binoculars and a scope to fully enjoy the sights, and we had ample time to appreciate every landscape. I highly recommend this experience for anyone seeking a deep introduction to the beauty of Yellowstone.
We arranged a guided tour of the park due to our limited time, and our guide Isaac exceeded our expectations. He was incredibly knowledgeable and kept my family engaged and informed throughout the day. His expertise truly made the experience worth the cost, as he knew exactly where to spot all the wildlife. We saw so much in such a short time. Thank you, Isaac, for being remarkable!
My family and I had an extraordinary tour with Jack, who provided us with a wealth of knowledge about Yellowstone National Park and its wildlife. I strongly recommend choosing Jack for anyone interested in the authentic facts and science of the park. Thank you, Jack, for a memorable experience in the Upper Loop of Yellowstone.
The experience was fantastic. Our guide, Jackson, was wonderful and made a genuine effort to locate the animals we were eager to see, and he succeeded. His knowledge and kindness were impressive. Even my frugal husband agreed it was worth every penny.
