Can't recommend enough! - We had the great fortune of meeting Tauni on her day off in Yellowstone, while we all watched an incredible scene of wolves and bears eat a bison carcass in the Hayden Valley. Tauni was so welcoming in allowing us to look through her scopes and share story after story about the wolves and the bears that we were watching. We hung out for over two hours and it was absolutely incredible to be able to learn so much from Tauni. We felt beyond blessed that we met her and that she shared so much of her experience, wisdom, and equipment with us. If this is how amazing it is when she's off duty, I can only imagine what a treat it would be to hire her or her team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

It was a “whopper-jack” of a tour. - Our guide Jackson was the “Whopper-Jack” of guides. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and the park. He went out of his way to show us so many different animals in the park. It was an incredible experience. And we would definitely recommend especially if you had Jackson as your guide.

Evening Wildlife Tour with Isaac - We did the evening wildlife tour with Isaac. He was a pleasure to spend time with. Super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all things wildlife and nature in Yellowstone. With a little luck and a lot of help from Isaac we saw a juvenile grizzly bear in Lamar Valley. No way we'd have found it without him. Also got to see coyote, mountain goat, Sandhill crane, Pronghorn and more bison than we could count. Great trip.

Highly Recommend Casanova Guided Tours & Alex! - We had an incredible sunset wildlife tour with Alex from Casanova Guided Tours. She was an amazing guide—passionate, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience perfect for our family. From the moment she picked us up at our campsite (super convenient!) to the moment we returned, everything was seamless. We saw so many grazing animals, including adorable pronghorn babies, and the highlight of the evening — spotting a wolf in the wild! Alex’s insights about the Wolf Project and Yellowstone Forever added so much meaning to the tour. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and cares deeply about Yellowstone’s wildlife and conservation. If you’re looking for a memorable, and educational experience in Yellowstone, we recommend Casanova Guided Tours.

LOVED this exploration through Lamar Valley! - What a wonderful way to spend the evening ( and not driving ourselves !). Michaela was awesome- so full of joy and adventure as she took us through the Lamar Valley looking for wildlife on the ground, in mountains and the air. She provided such great knowledge and stories along the drive. While everyone else was looking at bison for the 10th time she had us sporting mountain goats way up high and Osprey nests with mom and dad feeding and guarding the babies. She was also great at letting tourists know when they were too close to animals and making to unsafe for the animals and themselves . We took that approach on the rest of our trip when we saw similar situations. She would be proud of us! Highly recommend this tour to make you realize everything you aren’t seeing when you drive through the park!

Wildlife encounter a success! - My husband and I had an awesome time on our evening wildlife encounter with Alex as our guide! She was incredibly kind and flexible—when I lost my purse and had a bit of a meltdown (oops), she adjusted the schedule and stayed late to make sure we didn’t miss out. Alex is a great conversationalist and incredibly knowledgeable about Yellowstone’s wildlife. We spotted a bear, a golden eagle, and tons of bison and elk. We didn’t catch the wolves this time, but not for lack of effort—Alex gave it her all. Highly recommend this experience, and huge thanks to Alex for making it memorable!

Amazing tour with Montana Jack! - Jack was our tour and he was phenomenal! Was so knowledgeable and you could tell how passionate he is about wildlife. He answered all of our a million questions and gave great recommendations for local spots. And the company itself was super helpful and patient with me emailing 20 times. 10/10 recommend!
