The right tour company for our interests - Knowledgeable guide who took us to great places for photography and seeking wildlife. The animals were not abundant except for a lot of bison, but the scenery was gorgeous and our guide enriched our tour with plenty of interesting stories and facts. A very good driver who offered a great balance of quiet and information. His presentation didn't sound artificial. He really seemed to care about making our particular tour a very pleasant and enriching one for our specific interests. Arrangements for transportation were clear and easy.

A MUST Do When Visiting Yellowstone! - There were 4 couples so we were lucky to have a private tour by Tied to Nature with our guide, Brian. He picked us up in Island Park at 5:30 am and we headed to the west entrance of Yellowstone. One of the first sights right around daylight was a huge elk bugling, many females and another male (we almost saw a fight!) Across the street were two grizzly bears and a cub! Later we saw bison (lots of them) and another grizzly bear and her cub! We saw mud volcanos, Dragon's Mouth Spring, scenic overlook of Yellowstone Lake, Artist Point Overlook and waterfalls. Before we exited the park we stopped at a nice picnic area and ate lunches which we included. It included a sandwich, chips, apple and a delicious chocolate chip cookie. Brian made sure we had snacks on the bus and drinks. It was the BEST trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting! And Brian was a great guide and answered all our questions and gave us tips on what to see after our tour ended.

Great Tour! Awesome Guide - It was my family’s first time in Yellowstone and we were excited to see some wildlife. After some research on various tours, we decided on Tied to Nature. They did not disappoint. Our tour guide, Jared, was phenomenal. Extremely knowledgeable about the area and very personable for the diverse crowd in our group. I highly recommend this organization!

Just perfect - It was our first time to Yellowstone and I’m so pleased we booked this tour we got to see things we would never have done on our own. We saw Bears, Bison, Elk mountain goats and the most amazing scenery. Jarred was our tour guide and he was fantastic his knowledge of the area was amazing from the nature to the history. And the bonus was as he knew the park so well we missed the crowds at all the hot spots which made it all the more lovely. Thank you Jarred for making our Yellowstone trip one we will never forget.

Amazing experience, highly recommend! - Our group absolutely loved this tour! We had Brian & he was fantastic! Not only did we get to see some of the wildlife we wanted to see, we saw some we didn’t even know existed in the park. I know animals can be fickle so we weren’t sure what we would be able to see, but we got to see: black bears, grizzly bear, wolves, big horned sheep, mountain goats, lots of pronghorn, golden eagle nest, osprey nest, deer, elk & tons of bison. Brian had all the right tools that we needed (saw some other tour companies that did not) along with plenty of snacks & lunch. He gave us a background on the park & all the areas we were seeing the different animals. Most of the spots we wouldn’t have known if we didn’t have a guide with us so we knew where to go. Some areas I never would have guessed any wild life was until he showed us, it was amazing!!
