Small group tours looking for wildlife - Guide Adam added so much to our tour. Explaining so much about park and animals that live in park. He was personable and easy to visit with. Adam even shared photos he had taken on our tour. Thanks Adam

Excellent Yellowstone Tour Service!! - We took the upper loop tour of Yellowstone with Adam as our guide July 1st. The reservation was easy to make; the owner Cody personalized with a follow-up call and text reminder. Our guide Adam knew where and what to look for, we got to see all kinds of babies - cubs, buffalo, pronghorn deer, mountain goats and eaglets. Being a photogher, Adam was able to get long distance shots that we couldn't with our phone and sent them to us!! Additionally, Adam was VERY knowledgeable of the history and facts of the park, and, he's an excellent driver!. We highly recommend Adam and Covered Ground Tours!!!

You have to do this trip - May 21st Adam picked us up and off we started. This takes you up the Chief Joseph highway and into the parks northeast corner. The view is remarkable. Snow covered the mountains We got to see so much wildlife. Grizzlies, black bears, moose, elk, fox, eagle. Bison herds beginning the green wave and the red dogs tagging along. The highlight was watching wolves working a lone elk near their den. He may have escaped. Its a great second day adventure

Wow is not enough - Wow! As an amateur wildlife photog, I could not ask for more. I saw everything on my list and more. Our guide, Adam, was super talented in finding wildlife and great spots for photos. He even taught us a few tricks. Best experience in the 10+ national parks I've visited. Affordable, accommodating and just awesome. Super friendly towards solo travelers as well.

Upper Loop Yellowstone - Wonderful day spent in Yellowstone. Great mix of wildlife and magnificent scenery. Kode was a great guide with lots of knowledge of the area and where to see the animal in particular. There wer three people on the tour so that made for a near private tour. We were able to see so much with the smaller group. Combined with the Lower Loop tour the previous day I saw everything: moose, elk, deer, bison, swans, coyote, grizzleys and black bear.

Awesome with a side of disappointment - Yellowstone was an amazing experience. It was a little disappointing being picked up late. Seating options are not the best if you are the last two pickups. My husband and I ended up sitting separately in order to have a window seat. We did not see as many animals as I would have liked. We ended up seeing a bear and two huge elk on our trip out of Cody on our own. I loved my experience in Yellowstone and not having to drive was great after we had already done so much driving but next time I would probably skip the tour and just drive myself.

Did not see entire upper... - Did not see entire upper loop. Missed tower falls on last day of a six day trip. I could have driven the east route if I would have know this tour skips the east road
