Tour with Stacy

Jim_L, May 2024

Our second tour with Obsidian. Stacy is an experienced guide. He knows where the wildlife is and included some unique stops.

Ok tour, not worth the price

Mendy_N, Jul 2023

Our tour was good, we enjoyed the day. We traveled with friends who did not do the tour… they chose a self guided tour through an app on phone. As we compared stories after the tour, we realized it was basically the same information and stories. If I had it to do over sgain, I would not pay for the private tour. We would do it on our own.

We had a fantastic day from start to finish! Ted’s knowledge and enthusiasm put it over the top! We learned so much about Yellowstone and saw so many animals—bison, grizzly bears, elk. The entire family loved it. A+

Yellowstone private tour

Tracey_D, Aug 2022

Our family had an incredible trip to Yellowstone with Steven. In one day, he covered the major places to see in Yellowstone. He also catered to our physical abilities so we could enjoy ourselves!! Steven was very knowledgeable about the different terrain, history, and geology of the area. We felt so lucky he was our guide!! Would highly recommend this tour. We learned so much more than if we did it ourselves!!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Tracey, we are happy to hear you had a great experience in Yellowstone National Park with Steven! Thank you, and we hope you can return to the region in the future. Safe travels. - Lisa

Snowy trip to yellowstone

Sutanoy_D, May 2022

Ted was great, very very knowledgable esp about geology and history. He was very patient with us, and a very responsible guide. Loved his obsession with measuring temperatures at every hot spring 😄 Must mention Lisa who was an excellent and proactive coordinator.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you for your review and glad you had a great day in Yellowstone! It was a pleasure assisting with your tour. - Lisa

Long day but well worth it!

Stacy’s knowledge of the area and attractions was wonderful! It was great! Having breakfast and lunch provided was a bonus!

We're glad you enjoyed the day!

Outstanding and Instructive tour; Exceptional and Really Cool Tour Guide

Thomas_H, Aug 2021

This tour was memorable, start to finish. Our guide, Carol, was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She guided to us to spots ahead of the crowds and, when crowding was present, she used alternative access routes to speed us to the attractions. She asked about our viewing preferences when we 1st boarded the vehicle (i.e., wildlife; geysers; canyons/waterfalls) and then made sure we got to see what we wanted to see. This was not a canned by-the-numbers (boring) tour thanks to Carol. It was an adventure. Especially noteworthy is Carol's commitment to park stewardship. This is not just a job to her. She brings and shows by example her philosophy of preserving a natural wonder. I highly recommend this tour company/tour guide.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you for the awesome review and kind words about Carol's guiding style. She is a true pro and we think she's really cool too! Safe travels. - Lisa

All I can say is Wow!

Tommi_L, Jun 2021

We had an amazing day! Ted, our tour guy was wonderful. He was very informative and educated us with a lot of information about the park. Luckily, we saw a lot of beautiful wildlife including a moose , a grizzly and a black wolf.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Hi Tommi, We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Ted and saw lots of amazing wildlife, in addition to learning about the natural and human history of Yellowstone. Come back and see us again sometime. Stace
