Laura is the Yellowstone Whisperer…read more We had the absolute BEST day with her!! She took such good care of my family of 12! We saw the sulfur pools and learned so much more than just reading the signs. She provided thermometer guns so the kids could see the variation in temp from pool to mud pot to steam vent. She timed our arrival at Old Faithful PERFECTLY! We waited just 10 minutes and watched from a much better spot than the general viewing area (and learned that an average blast can fill 150 bathtubs!!). We stopped at Old Faithful Inn and the Lake Lodge. We saw Firehole Falls and the Lower Falls. We lunched in a beautiful, shaded picnic area with truly DELICIOUS sandwiches and HOMEMADE cookies!!! We spent over 11 hours trekking 270 miles total from our vacation home in Big Sky into the park and back. It was a total gift for everyone to be able to enjoy all the scenery and learn along the way and not have to drive. I ALMOST FORGOT!! We saw a GRIZZLY swim across the river! Plentiful Bison (they are such MASSIVE creatures), Laura pointed out Osprey nests, a pelican!! And so so much more!! It will be hard not to do Yellowstone this way EVERY trip. Thank you Laura for making such a GREAT memory for our family!!!

First the office was very accommodating since the was a minor conflict with our schedule and the tour's scheduled hours and they were very helpful to accommodate to our schedule. Second and more importantly we were so lucky to have Lexi R as our tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable about Yellowstone Park and her background in Geology added important understanding of the Park that I assure you no other guide can offer. More importantly since we are on the elderly side she was very attentive to our needs and desires. The company is very lucky to have her working for them. And we were so lucky to encounter the various wildlife we wanted to see.

We spotted wolves, deer, elk, sheep, mountain goats, pronghorn and so many bison.

It's these small acts that show that he really cares about the park and wildlife that call it home.

What a fantastic day we had touring the lower loop of Yellowstone National Park with Yellowstone…read moreTouring Company / Wild Trout Outfitters. Arranging the tour on the phone was easy and quick. We had the choice of having pickup at our condo in Big Sky or meeting at the storefront on Highway 191. We chose to meet at the store to maximize our 10 tour time which starts end ends when the driver leaves the parking lot. Check in was simple. Each participant had to sign a waiver and then we were off. The Sprinter van was clean and very spacious with seating for 10 although we had a private tour for 4. Pricing for private tours are flat rate and we chose the 1-5 participants. Our tour guide, Mat, was amazing. He kept us entertained on the way to the park with stories and factoids. In addition to showing us the "usual suspects," took us to places that are not listed in the guidebooks. He varied the route a bit at times to accommodate the geyser schedules and spend as little time as possible waiting for eruptions. All the time, he was filling our heads with area info. He was terrific at spotting wildlife for us as well. When we found ourselves with a little extra time at the end our our tour. He stopped at two additional sites that people normally drive right by. We were thrilled with his service. While this tour does not supply food, they have a cooler on board with plenty of ice, soft drinks, bottled water and space for the food that we brought. We packed a lunch and Mat found us a table at the edge of Yellowstone Lake were we stopped and ate on a checkerboard tablecloth - courtesy of Mat. If we were to come back, we would absolutely arrange for the Upper Loop tour with this company and possibly even a fly-fishing trip. Thanks to Mat and YTC for a great day.

Last week my family and I vacationed in Big Sky for our first trip to Montana and Yellowstone…read moreNational Park. Since our time was limited and the park so large we decided to hire a tour guide for one day. Upon researching the options I discovered there are a lot of ways to tour Yellowstone, however having the disability of chemical sensitivity I found it challenging to choose one. Ultimately after many phone conversations I talked with J.D. Bingham at Yellowstone Touring Company/Wild Trout Outfitters. Based on our telephone conversation I was confident that J.D. understood my special needs and would be able to accommodate our party of nine persons, which included children and elderly. On the day of the tour our guide Paul picked us up at or rental house in Big Sky right on schedule. That was no small feat in itself as the house was VERY out of the way on the side of a mountain at 8200 feet. The vehicle was clean, spacious and comfortable for all of us. More importantly, per my request for my chemical sensitivity, both Paul and the vehicle were completely fragrance free. Paul asked us questions about what we were looking to get out of the tour, and then designed our day around our specific requests. It could not have been any better. He was knowledgeable not only about Yellowstone but about where we were staying in Big Sky. He was patient with both the children and the elderly. He is an excellent driver and we all felt quite safe in his hands the whole time. The sights that he chose for us were perfect. He knew everything from which rest rooms were most likely to be cleanest, (very important for the ladies), to where to find the bison. All in all, I cannot say enough about our tour with Paul from Yellowstone Touring Company. I would do it again in a heartbeat, and recommend him to anyone. Also after our interactions with J.D., I would also imagine his fishing guides from Wild Trout Outfitters to be as special and would have tried that also if we'd had more time.

We booked the Yellowstone Lower Loop tour, and it was the perfect way to experience the park together. Our guide, Ben, was absolutely amazing! He arrived right on time at 7am with a spacious, super comfortable van fully stocked with everything we could possibly need for a great tour; including binoculars, drinks, and snacks. Ben was friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He kept the kids interested and made sure the entire group was enjoying themselves throughout the day. He was very accommodating to our interests, always asking if we wanted to stop when wildlife was spotted or if we wanted to take more time at certain locations. His flexibility made the whole day feel relaxed and tailored to us. Lunch was at Old Faithful, and it was a delicious treat; sandwiches, chips, fruit, and the best homemade chocolate chip cookie. Everything was provided and thoughtfully prepared. This was such a memorable and well-organized experience. I will absolutely be booking with Yellowstone Excursions again, whether it's to explore another area or when more friends and family come to visit us in Bozeman.
