FIVE STARS - What a wonderful tour. FIVE STARS from everyone. James, our tour guide, was informative and knowledgeable. James picked us up on time. He took us to see so much of Yellowstone. We all enjoyed the hikes. Really liked seeing all the wildlife. James made sure we made it on time to see Old Faithful errupt. Lunch was a picnic near the Madison river, so relaxing. Such a memorable day!!! Thank you James😁

The best wildlife safari in Yellowstone. - Most incredible wildlife safari of all time I saw everything I wanted to see including a closeup encounter with Raspberry the grizzly bear and her cub. Andrea was amazing he was fully prepared with toms of snacks and drinks plus an attachment from the scope to his camera so I got to take home impressive video footage of our wildlife encounters. Andrea is very knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife I learned a lot during the experience even about physiology of the animals I didn’t know about and I’m a veterinarian. Not only did we see wildlife Andrea also took me to see many of the top sites in the park and he tailors the experience to what you want to see so if you ask to see some part of the park it is a guarantee you will see it. Lunch was provided during my experience and Andrea took me to only the cleanest of bathrooms located within hotels in the park. Highly recommend this tour.

BEST experience AND guide! - Booking this wildlife tour was the best decision we (my husband and I) made and we HIGHLY recommend it! Our guide, Kevin, was AMAZING. Hands down the coolest guide and dude. Super knowledgeable, courteous, fun, friendly, and an overall decent human. For reference, we were picked up from the Snow Lodge in a Chevy Suburban first thing in the morning (Kevin reached out a week prior to introduce himself and set up a time), headed into the park, and had the time of our lives (to include a provided lunch and snacks/drinks - thanks, Kevin, for the jerky!). We saw: coyote, grizzly bears (4), black bears (1 cinnamon and 1 black), wolves (8 in total, 4 adults and 4 pups), bald eagles, golden eagles (1 adult and 2 chicks), bighorn sheep (2), mountain goats (8), bison, pronghorn, cutthroat troat (surprisingly awesome), ground squirrels (my favorite 😀), and elk. What a day! Kevin followed up by sending us pictures he took of the wildlife we saw. My only recommendation: expectation management when it comes to seeing wildlife. While we had an amazing day and the animals were out, the park is a wild and wonderful place! Enjoy every moment and appreciate the beauty no matter what wildlife you may see. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Yellowstone. Kevin taught us so much about the park itself and the landscape, so there's more to it than the wildlife. Next time we are in the park, we'll be booking another tour and requesting Kevin. Thanks!!

Private Yellowstone wildlife tour - We had a fantastic experience on our all day wildlife tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and persistent in making sure we saw as much wildlife as possible on our tour. He was clearly very experienced and was able to find animals very quickly.

Incredible experience…definitely worth it! - The experience with James, our guide was incredible. We saw all kinds of animals! He went above to give us extra experiences and shared his knowledge on lesser known areas inside the park. We have created family memories and that is priceless. Thank you!

Memorable Adventure - Andrea is truly a wealth of knowledge and somehow kept everyone engaged for the whole entire day! We have teenagers and an 8 year old which can be tough to keep everyone interested but he did so with ease. He is so passionate about his business; his excitement is contagious. We saw plenty of wildlife, navigated varying weather (snow-sun-sprinkles), took a beautiful hike, saw some of Yellowstone’s famous geographical highlights…this was a memorable trip for the whole family!

Best Yellowstone experience! - I cannot say enough how much my family and I enjoyed having Andrea as our Yellowstone tour guide for our very first trip! He showed us so much that we would not have picked up on without a professional guide. He was professional and very personable. He answered all of our questions and we really enjoyed the day with him! It was worth every penny!

Yellowstone Wolf Packs - Andrea was a great guide and we saw and photographed 2 wolf packs (the “shrimp” and “rescue” packs) as well as 15 mountain goats in a group, a herd of bighorn sheep, several lone coyotes, and of course many bison and elk. We also did a very nice hike. Andrea is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and is very passionate about Yellowstone Park. Without Andrea we would never have found the wolves, goats and sheep. You really need a guide with the proper equipment, connections and knowledge. He is a very professional guide and a nice guy.

AMAZING private tour!!! - What an amazing time we had on our private tour of Yellowstone!! This was our first time traveling here and our group of 6 knew that we wanted an experienced guide to take us around since we had no idea where to go. We chose wisely!! Our guide Andrea was so knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us to have a once in a lifetime experience. He specializes in wildlife biology and we learned so much about so many things! During our all day tour, we saw a ton of wildlife, waterfalls, lakes, breathtaking views, and he even had an incredible picnic prepared for our group. Andrea was also just an amazing person in general and we enjoyed getting to know him throughout the day. If you can request to have him, I recommend you do so! You won’t be sorry!! I hope we can come back another time and see more of Yellowstone. If and when we do, we won’t hesitate to book another private tour, and of course request Andrea!!

Better than I could have imagined! - Our guide, Andrea, was all I could have hoped for in a guide. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife (as you’d expect in a wildlife biologist) and the history of the park. We were able to hit all the “must see” sites and managed to spot a grizzly, bison and elk. The car was new and well equipped, including binoculars and spotting scopes. Andrea stocked it with a bounty of snacks and drinks; you don’t need to pack your own. The company is very easy to work with and accommodating. You really don’t have to plan a thing. We will absolutely hire them again when we return to the park.
