This was such a great experience all made possible by our guide, Gypsy. He had a great sense of humor along with a wealth of knowledge about the park. Group size is limited to 12, so it becomes a fun group. We saw all the highlights of Lower Loop. It was a really great day in the magnificent park!

We were extremely pleased with our guided Yellowstone Safari Company tour. We could not have had a better time or tour guide. Gabrielle did a fantastic job avoiding duplication of sights we had already visited and gravitated toward those we had not yet experienced. Her experiences, passion, knowledge of the park and interpersonal skills were very impressive which made the overall experience a home run. Additionally, the locally produced, healthy meal that was provided was delicious and satisfying.

I had booked this tour for over 6 months & was charged only a few days before our tour date which was nice in case something came up & I received email that I can cancel at said date as a reminder. We were picked up on time at our designated area. The tour guide was very knowledgeable & took good care of us. I will book future tours via aviator again
