Kat was the perfect guide - My sister and I have had lots of guides but never our own, personal guide. The long drives in Yellowstone zipped by as Kat filled the time answering all our questions and so much more. Her knowledge of the area, animals, history and landscape was endless and fascinating. She even tailored the visit to match our interests. And her command of the English language was impeccable. Ask for Kat!

A wonderful trip to Yellowstone - We had a wonderful day in Yellowstone with our guide, Clara! She communicated with us in advance of pick-up and planned the day around our interests. She drove us to see all the highlights of the park while sharing her knowledge during the ride. We rode in a clean, comfortable vehicle, and the provided lunch was tasty. Overall, Sky's the Limit tours exceeded our expectations.

Unforgettable Yellowstone Adventure with Sky's the Limit! - Our family of four embarked on an extraordinary journey through Yellowstone National Park, courtesy of Sky's the Limit, a woman-owned tour company booked via Viator. This private tour, entering through the West entrance, was nothing short of phenomenal. Our guide, Kat, was the heart of this exceptional experience. Her vast knowledge of the park's history and geology, coupled with her engaging storytelling, brought Yellowstone to life. Kat's personable nature made us feel like we were exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than a tour guide. Tour highlights: • Old Faithful eruption (perfectly timed!). We ate our box lunches onsite at the Old Faithful Inn, which was a wonderful experience. • Mud Volcano and the mysterious Dragon's Mouth Spring. The boardwalk skirted the hot mud springs for great viewing. The Dragon’s Mouth is actually a cave with steam bellowing out and with sounds like a dragon is in the cave! • Breathtaking Canyon Falls (taller than Niagara!). It was a bit scary looking out over the deep canyon at the fall, but it was well worth the picture-taking opportunity! • Continental Divide at 8,262 ft elevation. This was the high point of our tour. • The Lake Yellowstone Hotel and Yellowstone Lake (the oldest hotel in the park). An elegant hotel with a rich history of visitors and excellent fishing in the huge lake of 140 miles of coastline. • Grand Prismatic Spring's mesmerizing colors. We hiked along the river and felt some of the hot water bubbling up into the river along its edge. At the springs, we enjoyed seeing multiple colors of steam, waters and land around the springs. We even felt the warm steam blow over us at one point! • Firehole Falls' unique beauty. This was another beautiful fall that was smaller than Canyon Falls but was much closer to us so you could appreciate it’s details. The tour's flexibility allowed us to adjust our time at each site, ensuring we got the most out of every stop. Though not specifically an animal tour, we were treated to sightings of mule deer, bison, and elk. Sky's the Limit's attention to detail was impressive. From our pre-ordered box lunches to the variety of snacks and water provided, our comfort was always a priority. Kat's expertise in timing our visits meant we experienced each wonder at its best. This tour offered a perfect blend of natural wonders, geological marvels, and wildlife encounters. It truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that words can't fully capture. If you're looking for an immersive, personalized Yellowstone adventure, Sky's the Limit is the way to go. They turn a park visit into an unforgettable journey of discovery!

Tour Of A Lifetime - Experience of a lifetime with tour guide Mike. Only way to see Yellowstone. He knew all the best spots, was able to avoid the crowds, and had an unbelievable knowledge of the park. Tour was never rushed and the photos we took were fantastic. A huge bonus was Mike’s personality and sense of humor. We not only took an unforgettable tour, we made a great friend.

We saw bears from a safe... - We saw bears from a safe distance and our guides had scopes so we could see up close. We watched old faithful, saw the grand prismatic, and learned about them too. Our guides were so friendly and knowledgeable and that made the experience even better. It was a great trip!

Excellent Private Tour - Tin was an amazing guide! She catered to our interests and activity level, and we saw so many wonderful sites and wildlife! We were even able to see a grizzly from safe distance with her scope and binoculars. She also had fantastic recommendations for the rest of our trip. Lunch and snack selection were great.
