Wonderful full day tour of Yellowstone Lower Loop! - My husband & I did a Yellowstone Lower Loop Full Day Tour with Andy as our guide. We were in a van with 5 other people. Andy was an awesome guide. Very knowledgeable about Yellowstone & very enjoyable to spend the day with. He accommodated all 7 people on the van with any requests. We pulled over anytime we saw people pulled off the road to catch a glimpse of whatever wildlife they spotted. Andy would set up his scope & let us put our phones on it to record a video. We made stops at numerous scenic spots, including Old Faithful, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone & numerous other spots, in addition to making a stop for any opportunity to see & take pictures of wildlife. We also stopped at a beautiful quiet place to have a lovely picnic lunch. The day was a perfect balance of listening to the guide talk & quiet time as we spent the day riding together in the van. I feel I learned alot about Yellowstone's history & natural beauty. I highly recommend this tour !

Bison and Elk and Bears, oh my! - Luke was a fabulous guide. He was informative, personable, jovial, courteous and made sure everyone was able to experience a site they were interested in seeing within the tour areas. He even surprised us by using his eagle eyes and pointed out animals we never would have seen. Catching views of the majestic Tetons was breathtaking. We would highly recommend Luke.o

Best day in Yellowstone! - What an amazing day! Our tour guide was Luke and he delivered from the time he picked us up at our hotel. He has a great sense of humor and created an engaging yet relaxed environment for our group. He is extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of history on the park and its terroir. It was raining when we departed JH, but the rain subsided by the time we arrived in Yellowstone. We saw each of the listed sights on the itinerary, but also saw Beehive geyser, which is bigger than Old Faithful! We enjoyed great weather and we saw moose, bison, elk, a Grizzly, grouse, red squirrel and a weasel! It did rain sporadically but that didn’t dampen our tour. It is the end of the season so there were hardly any tourists clamoring for views at our stops. The sandwiches provided for lunch were delicious and as big as your face. I’m very glad I booked this and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Highly recommended! The best way to see Yellowstone especially for first time visitors - John P is the man, and he made our first experience at Yellowstone amazing. Saw all the major sites, saw several animals up close, and enjoyed his depth of knowledge. Would highly recommend! Hard to imagine trying to do Yellowstone on your own, as local knowledge and tips were very valuable to see so many sights and learn a ton so quickly.
