Excellent experience - We had a great time on our tour with Chris. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the park and wildlife. We had a special treat of seeing wolves and grizzlies on our tour which was a highlight. We had a multigenerational group and it was enjoyable for all (teens, parents and grandparents).

Private Tour with Kelsi was amazing - Kelsi was our tour guide and showed us some less travelled trails with beautiful waterfalls. She pointed out lots of animals and was really knowledgeable of the park. She packed an amazing lunch and plenty of snacks along the way. We even have some food allergies and she had plenty of food for everyone. We had such a a great time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Day in Yellowstone with Kelsi! - If you’re considering a guided tour in West Yellowstone—stop looking and book with Kelsi! She was absolutely incredible. My family and I spent a full day with her on a private tour, and it was one of the best decisions of our entire trip. Kelsi drove us in a super comfortable vehicle and took all the stress out of navigating the park ourselves (which would’ve been chaotic and honestly dangerous with my husband trying to watch for wildlife while driving!). Thanks to her expertise, we saw things we never would’ve found on our own—hidden gems, perfect views, and up-close wildlife sightings. She even found us the dreamiest picnic spot right on a lake—total postcard moment. Every part of the day was intentional and special. She knew exactly where to go and when to go, and she made the whole experience fun, safe, and easy. Kelsi is a total pro and such a kind, knowledgeable guide. We highly, highly, highly recommend her. Don’t do Yellowstone without her!

If you can pick Bailee as your tour guide, don’t hesitate! - Bailee was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable, super personal, and very accommodating! We would have never been able to see everything that we did on our own within that timeframe. I rate her 10 out of 5! She more than exceeded our expectations. She even brought a birthday cake for my sister’s birthday for our picnic lunch!
