Hike the scenic views of Yellowstone Falls and see why this became the first National Park in the world! - Nakul was a wonderful tour guide who led our 55 year plus group of 13 through magnificent scenery along the gorges. He was considerate of our pace and made sure we got great pictures guiding us to the best spots. He was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to talk with. The lunch provided was really good too. I highly recommend this tour it’s not too difficult and it allows you to really experience the amazing colors that made this land to be chosen as the first national park in the world.

An awesome hike in Yellowstone national park with a well informed guide - We had the pleasure of having Ann Marie as our hiking guide. We had a great time hiking along the Grand Canyon of the yellowstone and further on. A lot of fun facts were shared by Ann Marie, so we learned a lot. She was knowledgeable about many things and not a thing was too much for her to answer, all that with a big smile and a good sense of humor. At the end of our hike it began to get clouded and we also had thunder and lightning. Ann Marie made sure we felt safe through all that, and got us back to the parking lot wet but with a big smile. Definitely worthwile and do not hesitate to book a tour with hiking guides.

Amazing hike with amazing views lead by an friendly and knowledge guide - He was so knowledge and friendly, taking time to explain things to us who are newer to this type of experience. He answered all of our questions, took us to see amazing views, stopping at a few extra spots since we were hiking at a pace ahead of schedule.
He stopped when we would see or hear wildlife, explaining what they were doing and the safety precautions we should take (distance, they are prepping for hibernation so even if we are the right distance still move along if they look disturbed or annoyed)
Overall would recommend any tour with him and would do it again when I come back for my second visit!

Hiking Made Fun! - Hike was a lot of fun, Nukul, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone that can walk 6-7 miles and wants to see more than just the road at Yellowstone. Would definitely recommend to anyone that likes to see nature and learn more about the park.

Excellent hike with Dallas - Absolutely fantastic hike with Dallas yesterday. We were very nervous about the bears but he easily put our minds at ease and provided bear spray for whoever wanted it. The hike itself was fantastic - such various and beautiful scenery. Dallas was a wonderful, knowledgeable and interesting guide. A must do if you’re in Yellowstone!

Sparks curiosity of Geography - I went on the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone hike with a young lady whose name I can't recall, and it was a fantastic experience. I loved every moment of it. The hike was moderately challenging, and we even got to see a bit of Hayden Valley. The tour included lunch and snacks, and our guide was intentional, providing valuable information throughout the trip. This hike is perfect for sparking your curiosity about geography and history.
