Pleasant and interesting - Guide admitted to be a newbie. But, he was very knowledgeable about Yellowstone. He even picked us up on the way, saving an hour of travel time. Thanks you very much.

Amazing Animal Adventure - Emma was amazing! Her passion for the park and the animals really stood out. She was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw grizzlies, wolves, moose, bison (of course), elk, pronghorn, and so much more. I could not recommend this enough. It was a great day and fantastic tour!

Small group tours looking for wildlife - Guide Adam added so much to our tour. Explaining so much about park and animals that live in park. He was personable and easy to visit with. Adam even shared photos he had taken on our tour. Thanks Adam

Excellent Yellowstone Tour Service!! - We took the upper loop tour of Yellowstone with Adam as our guide July 1st. The reservation was easy to make; the owner Cody personalized with a follow-up call and text reminder. Our guide Adam knew where and what to look for, we got to see all kinds of babies - cubs, buffalo, pronghorn deer, mountain goats and eaglets. Being a photogher, Adam was able to get long distance shots that we couldn't with our phone and sent them to us!! Additionally, Adam was VERY knowledgeable of the history and facts of the park, and, he's an excellent driver!. We highly recommend Adam and Covered Ground Tours!!!

You have to do this trip - May 21st Adam picked us up and off we started. This takes you up the Chief Joseph highway and into the parks northeast corner. The view is remarkable. Snow covered the mountains We got to see so much wildlife. Grizzlies, black bears, moose, elk, fox, eagle. Bison herds beginning the green wave and the red dogs tagging along. The highlight was watching wolves working a lone elk near their den. He may have escaped. Its a great second day adventure

Awesome with a side of disappointment - Yellowstone was an amazing experience. It was a little disappointing being picked up late. Seating options are not the best if you are the last two pickups. My husband and I ended up sitting separately in order to have a window seat. We did not see as many animals as I would have liked. We ended up seeing a bear and two huge elk on our trip out of Cody on our own. I loved my experience in Yellowstone and not having to drive was great after we had already done so much driving but next time I would probably skip the tour and just drive myself.
