Our tour guide, Dan, was excellent. He was knowledgeable of the area and gave us helpful tips for the rest of our trip.

This was an absolutely exceptional tour. We are spending a week in Big Sky, and this was a bucket list adventure for us. The only thing more amazing than the the sights and sounds of Yellowstone was our guide, Dan. His passion for people, the park, and the animals that reside in it, is incredible. We met him at 7am, which seemed early to me, but the park was already getting crowded when we entered. He managed to keep us ahead of the crowds at every stop. He has incredible “parking karma” as well, and we were able to take in many more sights than we ever could have on our own, or in a tour bus. There are A LOT of people at Yellowstone, and personally I would not have done it any other way than with Dan. One of the highlights was a beautiful turnout where we had a picnic and broke bread with our new buddy. I highly recommend bringing a packed lunch, as you could end up missing lunch altogether with the sheer number of people you are elbow to elbow with. By the way, don’t be scared off by the crowds (they expect 5M people this year), it is totally worth it as long as you are with the right guide. All in all, an unbelievable day with a very nice human. Ask for him, you won’t regret it.

Jason was a great guide. We saw mule deer, elk, bison, pronghorn, and a bunch of bald eagles. The black bears and coyotes were probably my favorite. Oh, and my was able to see a snowshoe hare while my daughter and I were in the bathroom. Lol. And mixed in with all of those animals, we also saw a ton of geysers and interesting geological formations. It was a great trip. I'd definitely recommend it to others.

My mom and I toured the Upper Loop with Dan. He was very friendly and accommodating. However, he is a newer guide so he seemed to still be learning how to navigate the park and manage the time. We didn't see all of the stops mentioned on the itinerary such as Tower Falls. I'm not sure if this was due to time constraints. We did see several additional things not mentioned on the itinerary which I guess made up for the parts we missed. The Norris Geyser Basin was covered in fog early in the morning, but Dan was nice enough to stop back by on our way back so we could get a better view. We saw a lot of wildlife including elk, pronghorn, bison, and a few bears. Dan took a lot of great pics of my mom and me which I'll cherish forever.

Our guide Adriana was knowledgeable & provided us a tour that exceeded our expectations. We saw over 3,000 bison, prong horn antelopes, black & cinnamon bears with cubs. The Lamar Valley,Roosevelt’s Arch etc was amazing. My concerns are: the ad from Trip Advsor said our tour was a private tour in a luxury van with scope & binoculars. I was asked to use my Senior Park pass to save the $35 fee. The guides came in their private vehicles & the lower there was no scope or binoculars. I didn’t bring my own binoculars because I was told it all would be included. Th e 5 star rating was for the guides & not the employer.

We took two private tours. Upper and lower. Ms Miriam was our guide. She is a superstar. Her knowledge, love and history of the area is exceptional. She ensured we were able to stop and see the wildlife and explain in detail all the stops. She let us go at our own speed. Never in a hurry. Having a private tour made the difference. We were able to see and understand all the history of Yellowstone and not worry about having someone in our group drive and miss all the beautiful scenery Yellowstone has to offer. Highly recommend Globe Trekkers Expedition and Tours and ask for Ms Miriam. One of their best.
