Amazing tour & Michelle is the BEST guide - We did the Yellowstone Lower Loop Tour, 6 person max. When I looked at the group tours of Yellowstone I had sticker shock. I had spent much less in a different National Park on a group tour. Then I looked at the private tours, and saw that we could dispense with the larger group for relatively slightly more. You’re already in for $300/per in the big groups, what’s $100/per more? Your family’s memories are priceless. We were fortune enough to have Michele as our guide. She picked us up where we were staying in Jackson Hole. She took us to pick up our lunch, where we also got breakfast sandwiches. This part was very regimented, which we were not expecting - but we came to understand why it was, and are so glad that it was - because of what we experienced over the course of the rest of our “Safari”. Michelle was hurrying to try to beat the crowds, and to make sure that we got to Old Faithful before it erupted in that time cycle. If we got there just after, we would potentially have to decide if we wanted to wait up to 90 minutes until the next eruption, which would cost us time on the rest of our adventure. Boy did we get lucky. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable and taught our family so much without being preachy or us feeling like we were being lectured to. The thing about Michelle that my family and I appreciated the most was how passionate and exited she is about the wildlife and geothermal features that we saw on the Lower Loop tour. As she drove us to Old Faithful (which erupts every 90 minutes +/- 10 minutes on either end) Michelle told us about another geyser, Beehive (which does not gave a regular scheduled eruption) When we got to Old Faithful, which we did before that cycles eruption, she became very excited. “OMG, do you see that? That’s known as “the indicator” Beehive is going to erupt. Let’s go over there, we can see Old Faithful from there as well. You’ll see, all the other guides who know will be over here in a second” We ran with Michelle to Beehive. When we got there both Beehive and Old Faithful erupted simultaneously. Michelle was squealing with excitement as she said, “You giys are so lucky, in my 12 years as a guide that is only the 2nd time that that has ever happened on one of my tours!” From the geysers Michelle took us through the other geothermal formations - hot springs, mud pots and fumaroles. The weather changed, often. I began the morning in jeans, changed to shorts, we had a down pour of rain, and a hail storm. Then it was hot again, and then it cooled off on the way home. Earlier I said “Safari” because after the geothermal formations I felt like I was on Safari (having never been on an African Safari) we saw moose, elk, mule deer, bison, and bald eagle. Everyone that Michelle saw anything she pointed it out to us, we used our binoculars and if it was significant she pulled over and pulled out a scope. She would locate the animal, have us look through the scope, then put her phone camera on the scope to take a photo or even a video. At the end of the trip she airdropped all of these to my wife’s phone. Michelle truly made this tour the highlight of our Summer Family vacation with her genuine enthusiasm. She was legit happy for us for all that we got to see. After the day that we had, I was happy to have spent the extra money on a private, professionally guided tour. Michelle knew all the spots, was comfortable driving in the ever changing weather through the narrow windy mountain roads. We also had a lovely - and delicious - lunch with her next to a stream. P.S. we were very lucky on our tour - Michelle didn’t call ahead and arrange for the simultaneous eruptions / or the fake eagle to fly over our heads - it is not the tour guides fault if the animals aren’t out as much on your tour / we did not see any bears - that’s ok - we were there at the wrong time of the year and day got that. Book this tour / ask for Michelle - and tip her a lot - it is seriously worth it.

Private Yellowstone Tour - We did a private Yellowstone tour with Vern. He was an excellent guide being that he has been native to the area for 40 years. The private tour was most economical for us (group of 5) and we need to abbreviate some stops in order to be home earlier than the tour specified. The picnic lunch was such a fun surprise. Would highly recommend!

Bucket List Item Achieved - My family and I had a great experience on a private tour of Yellowstone with Frankie. It's a long day trip from Jackson but Frankie made the day go by quickly with his insight and knowledge of Yellowstone. It would've been difficult to traverse a massive and crowded national park on our own, so having an experienced guide to show us all the major sights in one day was amazing. I highly recommend Frankie on your next trip to Yellowstone!

The Best Tour of Yellowstone ! - Incredible experience with Michelle our guide on the full day Yellowstone tour. We got to see a vast portion of the park and experienced bison, grizzly bear and moose. She is a very knowledgeable guide and explains the history of the park, the geology and the wildlife. Tour van very comfortable with snacks, binoculars etc. The company provided an excellent picnic lunch and pick up and drop off in Teton Village. I can not recommend them any more highly!!

Great way to see the park - Michael was a fantastic guide. He know all the best spots and hacks to deal with the crowds, showed us wildlife we would never have seen if we were on our own (and helped us take great pictures of it with his spotting scope), had lots of great information to share, and the picnic lunch by the river was a real delight. I mostly booked this trip because I don't drive (and neither do my parents) and I wanted an easy way for us to get around the park, but the experience substantially exceeded my expectations, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get an in-depth one day tour of the park. It is a long day--we got dropped off to our hotel twelve and a half hours after pickup--but totally worth it!

Best of the best guided trips through Yellowstone & the Tetons. - We did 2 tours last week with the very best guide we could have hoped for. Frankie was incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, flexible, and patient with our many questions. His education and experience have given him a wealth of relevant information that he generously shared. He provided a beautiful picnic lunch by a river with several options for all palates and even had linen napkins and beautiful trays and plates. Frankie went above and beyond to make the day a lovely, educational and fun experience. Highly recommend! He's also a great driver!

Exceptional 13 hour day in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons - 10/10 13 hour day with Frankie! We had a group of 10 and he was so knowledgeable, easy going, patient and kind. And we hit every single awesome outdoor experience including a moose, elk,, 3 grizzly bears and herds and herds of bison. We saw Old Faithful erupt and the Old Faithful Inn. Grand Prismatic Springs, the hot springs, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, so many waterfalls and a stop at Lewis Lake and its fun hotel. I know there is not one thing we missed. I can’t recommend this tour enough. It was stellar in every way…including customer service and communication and timeliness.

yellowstone experience - Michael was an amazing guide - highly interactive, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly committed to providing an exceptional experience and provided an absolutely world-class experience His knowledge of Yellowstone National Park, its geothermal features, geology, wildlife, and environment was outstanding. As I had previously visited the park, he made a real effort to tailor the tour so that I experienced places, scenery, and wildlife encounters that I had not seen before; experiences I hadn't encountered on my last trip He ensured we saw a wide variety of wildlife and did his best to point out the major wildlife that live within the park. He also gave excellent explanations about Yellowstone's formation, geological changes, geothermal activity, and unique natural environment. He did a brilliant job tracking down an abundance of varied wildlife, highlighting the main ones The day was extremely well organised, and I felt that nothing important was missed. The scenery was spectacular, the wildlife viewing was excellent, and the commentary added real depth to the experience. I highly recommend this tour and its excellent guide. I enjoyed every minute of the day and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive overview of Yellowstone in a limited time.

Fantastic South Loop tour with Michelle - One day tour of the south loop of Yellowstone taking in the main sights and doing some wildlife spotting as well Started off at our hotel in Teton Village at 7am and returned around 7pm. Long day but well worth it Michelle was a superb guide, explaining the history, scenery and wildlife of the park. And taking us to some unexpected spots along the way The company provided a delicious picnic lunch that we ate in a beautiful spot. Our hotel had failed to communicate gluten free requirements but the tour company went out of their way to get us some gf food along the way. Thank you Very highly recommended
