Absolutely amazing trip, would highly recommend!

Lauren_B, Feb 2024

There was enough time at every stop so the trip didn’t feel rushed at all, which is impressive considering how much we managed to pack into just 2 days! The accommodation for the night was absolutely amazing, and there was plenty of room options to pick between. The lunch provided on both days was really delicious and the size was more than enough, also snacks and water was provided throughout both days. Our tour guide John was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure everyone was very well looked after, he really made this trip a wonderful experience for our group!

SO glad we chose this tour

Judie_K, Oct 2023

Rowan was an incredible guide, answering every question (even the dumb ones) and explaining the amazing features. If we'd visited without this tour, our experience would have been much less interesting/educational--not to mention that there's no way we could have found all the cool sites Rowan showed us (including some hidden gems) on our own within a 2-day timeframe. We walked away with a great appreciation for the geology/chemistry/biology that makes Yellowstone one of the coolest places on the planet. We also had tons of fun and giggles, because Rowan and the others on our tour are simply delightful people to hang out with. Could not have asked for a better trip!

My husband and I had a...

Terry_M, Oct 2023

My husband and I had a wonderful time in YS. Our tour guide was so enthusiastic and truly made the tour special. He showed us everything in the park! He was so knowledgeable! I was in awe of his intelligence. He didn’t miss a bird, Eagle, moose, elk, bear and bison. Along with his “Eagle eyes” he brought us to most incredible geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and basin!

Five stars!

David_C, Sep 2023

We had an amazing experience with this tour! Our guide John P. was very professional, engaging and well versed. Appreciate the company for calling us to beforehand to confirm our reservation. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants topnotch service.

All the main sights in a short time

Scott_T, Sep 2023

Or guide Greg Eich was very knowledgeable and intent on making sure we got the most out of our 2 days. We hit the main spots which is about all you can squeeze in if you want to tour the entire park. We saw tons of bison, plenty of pronghorn, and herds of elk. No bears, but some nice up close encounters. Greg accommodated every need. The lower falls of the Yellowstone river and the Lamar valley were spectacular. If you want to see it all and have limited time then I recommend this tour.

The best experience at a National Park

Mariella, Sep 2023

The tour was an amazing experience guided by Greg a very knowledgeable guide. We saw and learn so much in two days that it felt we were there for a week. The best part we did not have to drive or worry about parking or the traffic. Greg has his eye trained to spot animals and sceneries that we would have missed and it was fun to stop the van to photograph them.

Amazing 2 days in Yellowstone

Warren_N, Sep 2023

Amazing trip taking in all the highlights which Yellowstone has to offer, covering both the north and south loop. Greg was a fantastic guide who went out of his was to ensure we got the most out of the trip & his knowledge of the park meant we saw many animals over the 2 days. The stay at Chico springs overnight was perfect & the beef wellington in the restaurant was amazing.

Lifetime trip experience

Snehangshu_D, Aug 2023

The trip was exceptional. Our guide Brie was quite sweet and showed us the maximum possible wildlife after taking full care of all of us. Only 1 slight feedback is about the trip itinerary shown in the website. It should have been clearly specified as optional between grand prismatic and fountain pot/Norris and not all so that expectations are set accordingly.

Enjoyed!

Crystal_P, Aug 2023

Blair was our tour guide for two day Yellowstone tour. First day was full of geysers and hot springs. Stayed in Chico for the night dinner at hotel restaurant was Fantastic!! Second day full of wild life in Lamar Valley. Overall the trip was great!!!!

Fabulous experience from start to finish

robin_c, Aug 2023

Our guide Greg was a wealth of information and antidotes, and truly loved the land. He made the two day trip extra special with his tips, tricks and insights into this majestic area. The one night stay at the lovely Chico Lodge in Montana, was a welcomed and relaxing respite between to very full days of exploring the upper and lower loop of Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. We traveled with our daughter and son-in-law who also were thrilled with this trip. Don’t hesitate; book this trip.

It was good overall

Laura_T, Jul 2023

Saw a lot of the waterfalls, old faithful, the grand prism spring. Wish they stuck us in alternate lodge.

A must

Araceli_R, Jul 2023

Our Guide Greg was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about nature. Having a guide was a perfect way to enjoy site seeing, being able to look for wild life without driving, being able to stop at ALL the views and not get frustrated with family and friends.

The ONLY WAY to see everything that Yellowstone has to offer

Michelle_D, Jun 2023

This tour was worth every single penny! George is masterful at finding all wildlife. I just wanted to see 1 bear and we saw 16 bears of different variety, 8 I believe that were cubs (wrestling around even!). We saw so much wildlife all because of George’s passion to provide us with the best Yellowstone tour possible. IN addition, he took us to the most beautiful and scenic spots throughout the park. If we stayed a week and toured on our own we have NO DOUBT that we wouldn’t have been able to see a fraction of what we saw under George’s guidance. This company is TOP NOTCH, Kilmeny and Joe are fantastic to work with. We enjoyed four excursions with them and all were FANTASTIC. I would without doubt HIGHLY recommend this tour if you want to see all that is possible to see in two days at Yellowstone! Thanks Kilmeny for taking such good care of us all week!

Best Guided Tour of Yellowstone and Grand Tetons

George_K, Jun 2023

Greg Eich provided us with a customized and unique tour of Yellowstone Park and the Grand Tetons. We would never have been able to explore the many hidden and rarely seen vistas and trails in the parks if Greg hadn't been so knowledgeable about the parks. This was once in a lifetime experience. Thanks to Kilmeny, she provided us with the best tour guide Greg Eich. Viator has an excellent partner in using the Tour operator Teton Senic Floats and Fly Fishing.

Awesome Experience Touring Yellowstone

Michael_B, Jun 2023

Our guide John was the best. Very personable and helpful. His knowledge of Yellowstone history and ecology was amazing. He was exceptional at spotting wildlife that a casual traveler would miss. John was equipped with binoculars for everyone and a spotting scope he shared with all. It was amazing to see all the animals Yellowstone had to offer. The Bison herds in Lamar valley were awesome. This guided tour far exceeded our expectations. If you're planning a trip to Yellowstone, don't do it on your own. Book with this company to get the full experience,

Family Yellowstone trip

david_c, Jun 2023

It was an awesome trip. Our guide was awesome. He truly enjoys his job. Pointed out all the wildlife and have us plenty of time to experience the wildlife and attractions. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a 2day trip.

Seth Meets the West

DAnn_W, Jun 2023

The most memorable about our trip was seeing our grandson’s expression when he first saw the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Watching his excitement was priceless! John P., our guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and took us to all the great sites. He is a top notch guide. Chico Springs & Spa accommodations were perfect for the trip as well. Teton Floats is an excellent company to make your arrangements through.

Extraordinary Tour of Yellowstone

Joan_B, Oct 2022

We had a very knowledgeable guide, George, who took us to numerous sites in 2 days! Too many to count and far more than we would have been able to see on our own. We learned so much from our guide about the wildlife, the forest, and all of the geo-thermal features within the park. Incredible experience from start to finish!

Great tour excellent tour Guide

Anonymous, Sep 2022

Our tour guide Eddie was great! We saw a lot of the park, we learned a lot about geology, local history, and wildlife. I highly recommend this tour and tour company!
