Established in 1872, Yellowstone is the first US National Park. Famous for its wildlife and geothermal activity, the park covers almost 3,500 square miles (9,000 square kilometers) stretching over parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. The park boasts one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America (Yellowstone Lake), the longest undammed river in the contiguous United States (Yellowstone River), and even its own “Grand Canyon”.

Tours and Tickets to Experience Yellowstone National Park
The Nissan van was clean and comfortable. There were eight individuals on our tour, young children to senior adults. Snacks were always available during the tour.
Brandon was a spectacular guide. He took us to Old Faithful, Black Sand Geysers, Obsidian Cliffs, Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The picnic area where we ate lunch was wonderful!
This small group trip was amazing. There were 10 guests. I would recommend it to anyone. Katie our tour guide and driver was stellar. She really took a keen interest in her guests and ensured our safety and well-being. She was very knowledgeable and professional. Even though the trip was long, we had so much fun looking out for animals together and viewing the spectacular scenery. We got to see elk, bison, deer, bald eagles and coyote (unfortunately no bears).
Our entire family was thrilled to have a private tour of Yellowstone National Park. Our guide, Stacie, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, we learned many things on our tour. We saw wildlife, beautiful waterfalls , Old Faithful and colorful canyons. We had 13 people in our group;; ages 6 to 76! Everyone had a great time! We even stopped for a delightful picnic lunch on Yellowstone Lake. We would highly recommend this tour.
Ed, looked after all our requirements on what we wanted to see. Ed our guide, made sure we were safety briefed and provided great commentary on the lower park tour. The mini bus was safe and comfortable. Ed made sure we got to the sights and rest breaks were timed for all passengers as needed. Lunch provided from Ernies Bakery in West Yellowstone was great. Ed provides further advice if we were taking the upper loop as well.
We had an excellent tour with Hannah. We felt safe, Hannah was beyond knowledgeable about every question we asked, and professional.
Van was newer, clean, comfortable and equipped with healthy organic snacks, water, etc.
Hannah showed us all of the spots we wanted to see. Highly recommend taking this tour.
Jason was a great tour guide. My wife and I had an awesome time during this Yellowstone tour. Jason was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
This tour is like an executive summary of the lower loop. You see all main attractions in one (long) day. Chance the tour guide was great and knowledgeable.
I went on the last days in Oct, when crowds were gone but most stores/buildings were closed for the season. It was a good tradeoff because you would have unobstructed views of the Old Faithful, wildlifes sightings, and pretty much share the whole park with very few people. Worth every penny.
Most awesome experience with the best guide Kelsey
Our driver and guide Kelsey was great. We saw a brown bear, a lot of bisons, elks, and an antelope. Yellowstone is unbelievably beautiful. There is so much different geothermal activities. Old Faithful was awesome, Mammoth Hot Springs were amazing, and Great Ptismatic Spring was wonderful. Tere were so many other amazing sights including Hayden Valley and Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Yellowstone National Park is now my favorite National Park.
We had THE BEST day touring Yellowstone National Park! Mike, our tour guide and driver was phenomenal! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and told us all kinds of history and fun facts about Yellowstone and the Tetons too. He knew all of the cool sites to see and made sure we had ample bathroom breaks and opportunities for souvenir shopping as well. We would go again in a heartbeat!
Monica was excellent! Accommodating, responsive, knowledgeable, timely, and safe! She knew so much about park and wildlife! I felt like I was in an interactive lesson all day but she only educated when we asked for it allowing us space and quiet time throughout the day to just take in the scenery and experience! Snacks, lunch, and drinks were great too! Highly recommend!
It help me understand the sacrifices that where made by others so I can be grateful. I made me want to truly excel in business and I also realized the whole town was a library of important information.
Thank you
