Wold definitely recommend this tour. He picked us up early morning but long drive to Yellowstone. He knew all the back door ways to get anywhere. I said I had been to Yellowstone twice but this time saw lots I had not seen before. He had a sack lunch for our group and was just right. The drive back from Yellowstone to Cody was breath taking. Make sure have camera ready. It was dark when we went in and beautiful when we came out.

We were offered a "pet friendly tour"...this allowed my wife and I to take our Belgian Malinois with us. The tour guide Kim was amazing!!! She was a dog lover and took care of us and dog. Her knowledge of the park was solid. The tour itself was worth the price. We never would have been able to see all the sites on our own.

We paid $700 for an all day tour of Yellowstone - expect a lot. We got a brand new guide (nice young man) just learning the ropes - could not answer many of our questions. He had memorized his presentation - had to ask other guides for information. There was no provision for lunch (usually included in an all day tour at this price point). The snacks were cheap bags of doritos & potato chips - as a diabetic I could not have any of them. No fruit and only water to drink Stay away from Globe Trekkers tours.

Immerse yourself in the wildness of Yellowstone’s landscape by utilizing the ancient technology of snowshoes. This tour provides an unmatchable backcountry experience of magnificent winter ecology. Though winter can seem like the least likely time to go for a walk in the woods, it is really one of the most rewarding. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem comes alive as wildlife moves from summer to winter ranges. Snow illuminates the landscape in a way you may never have noticed. Wildlife tracks appear frozen in time, and plants and rivers allow for our reflection on resilience and longevity. On this private full-day snowshoe trek, you will explore the environment in an in-depth, hands-on way. Your expert naturalist guide will interpret what you find and what you see, and you may be surprised with the story that arises.
Inclusions: Hotel pickup, Professional naturalist guide, Private safari, Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, Souvenir water bottle, Use of spotting scopes and binoculars, Use of snowshoeing equipment

Our guide for the day, Will, picked us up at the door of our hotel promptly as scheduled. For the next 9 hours we were treated to the wonders of Yellowstone, history lessons, fabulous lunch and breakfast, snacks and water. Will is so knowledgeable about American history, Yellowstone, animals, geysers, etc., the time flew by. He has such a pleasant personality and gave us the best possible experience. We could never have found all the private places he took us to view the wonders of Yellowstone. If you are considering going to Yellowstone, you MUST go with Yellowstone Safari Company. You will not regret it! It was worth every dollar spent!!

Grant was our guide for Yellowstone Safari Co.'s Private Tour - Winter Wildlife Safari, a day-long private tour that used the park's winter access roads to see Yellowstone in the off season. A biologist by training with over 20 years experience in exploring and explaining wildlife, Grant was an outstanding host and guide. Throughout the day he brought to our attention packs of wolves (resting from a recent successful hunt), bald eagles and ravens (who pointed out the location of the hunt), coyotes (who waited patiently for their turn at the kill), pronghorns (frequently misidentified as antelopes), big horn sheep, two bull moose, and countless herds of elk and bison. The tour included a short and relaxed hike to the boardwalks above the steaming hydrothermal features and travertine terraces in the Mammoth Hot Springs area of the park (pictured), and another hike to a spectacular view of the park's own "grand canyon". When scouting for wildlife, Grant would pull over and set up a sighting scope on its tripod, and then, upon spotting wildlife activity, he would set up two more scopes for my son and me - so all three of us could track the activity at the same time. (This is pretty important, as the activity was rarely sedentary, so if we were to see the action each of us needed our own scope - which was steadier and more powerful than binoculars. Very thoughtful!) The Excellent rating is based largely on the expertise Grant brought to the tour, as well as his attention to our personal comfort. The ride (pictured) was roomy, and we all followed the necessary COVID-19 restrictions (masks and a plexiglass barrier between driver and passengers). He provided snacks, water, and a catered box lunch - all first rate. He made sure to take restroom breaks as needed, and filled drive-time by relating discoveries and experiences from his service at the park. Clearly he and his fellow guides love the park and collectively work to keep the ecosystems healthy, while encouraging visitors to really get to know the value of those systems. This was exactly the kind of experience we hope for when bringing our children to a wildlife preserve.
