Lower Loop All Day Tour (mid-September). What an excellent experience! So nice to have someone else do the driving and take us places that are the best places to stop! Highly recommend doing a tour with Yellowstone Vacation Tours! We have a second one booked in a few days for the Upper Loop. Our Tour Guide was Gypsy. Excellent and very safe driver! Wealth of knowledge and he shared so much! He took us to many of his favorite spots along with the usuals the most go to. We hit Old Faithful at the perfect time, short wait and one of the tallest eruptions, 170 ft! Just wow! So many great photo op stops. Some wild life including Bison. We saw falls and cascades. Learned so much history of the park including the background behind a lot of the names. Definitely recommend doing a tour vs Self-tour! Thank you Gypsy! read more

We booked the All-Day Lower Loop Summer Tour and had a fantastic experience. Our tour guide, Rue, was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about Yellowstone. We visited on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised that the park wasn't too crowded. Because of this, we had extra time for a few additional stops along the route, which was a great bonus. All of the stops were amazing, especially Old Faithful and Artist Point. We were also lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including a grizzly bear, black bear, bison, elk, and more. One thing to note is that most stops are about 20-50 minutes long, so there isn't a lot of time to fully explore each area or purchase food. Our group chose to include lunch through the company, and it was more than enough for lunch. I would suggest to bring some snacks if you're a snacker. I loved the water bottle design they provided and ended up bringing it home as a souvenir. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Yellowstone! read more

After searching up tour companies in west Yellowstone, I came across this place. Easy to book on their website and they offer reasonably priced summer tours. Buy the insurance on your tickets as we needed to use it due to some flight schedule changes. On the day of our tour, Gypsy was helpful and gave us great information. Also go ahead and buy the lunches they offer because finding food at the park will be just as much as spending if not more. Love that they do hotel pickup if you are near a hotel by the park. Highly recommend. read more

We very much enjoyed our tour with Bryan yesterday. His love for people and the outdoors is evident and he went the extra mile to ensure all had a great experience. We did the lower loop bus tour and the sights were spectacular! Even better as he explained many details to us. Worth every penny and fabulous way to get the lay of the land our first time and first day experiencing the first national park! If you are on the fence, just book! read more

Gypsy, our guide, was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. He picked us up right on time at our hotel, and got us back safe and on time. It was a wonderful overview of Yellowstone. We learned so much. Outstanding!! read more

This is a review for Ben, our guide for the snowmobile tour today (1/18/26). He was extremely kind, fantastic at communicating with everyone about the challenging segments of the tour, and made sure everyone had a great time. What stood out most to us was how incredibly knowledgeable he was. He taught us about Edgar Howell and the history of the bison population in the park, how to differentiate coyotes from foxes, the Bubbly Paint Pot--how it was formed and became a giant sulfuric acid pond, the remnants of the concrete road, the 1988 fire, the earthquake, and the consequences of those natural events on the park. He also explained how mineralized, super dead trees were formed and, most importantly, how Yellowstone's bio-ecosystem is changing the world, with potential futures for biodiesel and microplastic-consuming organisms! We could tell this guy loves his job so much that he became a nerd--in the best way possible. He made the entire group feel comfortable, was always ready to answer questions, and happily chatted with anyone interested. He's extremely funny; we couldn't help laughing out loud at his hilarious and brilliant safety instructions. We definitely had a blast on this snowmobile tour, and it was 110% worth every penny because Ben was our guide!!! Book Yellowstone Vacation Tours ASAP, especially with Ben if you can. To the Yellowstone Vacation Tour big boss: please don't ever let Ben go, because we WILL be back and will ask for him. Also, give him a raise--because if you haven't, I mean, what are you even doing?! ‍ read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND WASTING $$$ for the upper loop tour!!!! Such a waste of time and money, didn't once stop the get pictures of any of the wildlife pointed out. stopped 30 mins at mammoth hot springs and didn't have enough time there. Gave us more time for directly off the road pullout pics lol such a joke read more

My family booked and took Private Tour with Yellowstone Vacation Tours today. Office staff extremely during preparation to book the tour. Very helpful. Took tour today of Yellowstone Lower Loop. Bryan was our Driver/Tour Guide. He was simply amazing, really the best. He was extremely professional, friendly and engaging. He sought out our interests in the very beginning. He made the 10 hour tour over the top thoroughly enjoyable. I high recommend booking with Yellowstone Vacation Tours. You will not be disappointed. Be ready to be thoroughly pleased. Our second day with Bryan was even better than our first. Amazing Driver/Guide. Saw so much. He knew exactly where all best spots were. Day 2 exceeded an amazing Day 1 tour with Bryan. Day 1 Lower Loop; Day 2 Upper Loop. Did it on Monday and Wednesday. Yellowstone Vacation Tours and Bryan - simply a MUST. Date of experience: July 2026 read more

We booked the suburban for our family for the Lower Loop. All I can say is Wow! Rue McKenrick was our guide, What a wealth of information not only about Yellowstone but his own experiences as a professional backpacker and did the Pacific Crest Trail several times which is very near to where we live and had lots of stories of his experiences and knowledge. A few days later my other grandkids came and I relayed to them Rue's knowledge of Yellowstone. Worth every penny to book the private tour. I would highly recommend Rue to be your personal guide. read more

My family and I booked a snowcoach trip through the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone through Two Top Snowmobile rental. We were lucky to have "Elizabeth" (real name Rachel, but there are multiple Rachel's so ours goes by Elizabeth for name tag and work purposes) be our guide. From the moment she picked us up at our hotel, she was AMAZING. She was informative, funny, knew so much about the park and its animals & thermal features, and admitted if there was something she didn't know and said she would research it. But I think that was only one thing. She was just a delight. We had such a wonderful day thanks to her. read more

Yellowstone Vacation Tours - We had the best snowcoach, a "turtle top". Very comfy!! - Tours Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

We recently rented snowmobiles from Yellowstone Vacation Tours for a trip into the park, to Old Faithful. We were very pleased with everything about the adventure! The staff in the office were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The snowmobiles were in great shape and work flawlessly! Our guide, Roy, did a super job! He gave us clear instructions on how to use the machines and the 'rules of the road.' Along the way he stopped at the interesting/beautiful locations and taught us many interesting facts. He is an outstanding guide! Very entertaining. I would definitely rent from them again. And a special thanks to Kennedy for all his help too! read more

We had a great tour of Yellowstone with our awesome guide--Missy! She was very knowledgeable about the park and we learned so much! You could tell she loved her job and wanted all of her guests to learn about the park, the caldera's features and the wildlife that is here for us to enjoy. read more

What a spectacular day! Less than a week ago we wondered if there would be any snow. We are so thankful! Yellowstone Vacations was superb. The snow suits, boots, and helmets were top notch. Then the brand new 900 ski doos were pristine and worked perfectly. Then there is Tay J, our fun, professional, knowledgeable guide. She really made the 8 hours together. Make sure to take neck and face covering. I wish I had mittens instead of classic ski gloves. My fingertips were the only things that got really cold in low 20s weather. I had 2 layers in before the snow suits. I could have used a sweatshirt with a hood but it wasn't miserable. The scenery in winter-I wish all my loved ones could do this!!!! read more

For the first time at Yellowstone, I really enjoyed this guided tour. Very educational with the most amazing stops along thr way. This was perfect for our start, because the next day we returned to Yellowstone in our own vehicle, and knew what we wanted to see again or what we wanted to see that we didnt see on the tour. Highly recommend for first timers or if you just want someone else to drive for you. read more

This was our third time using Yellowstone Vacation Tours and once again they did not disappoint!!! Both the Canyon Tour and the Old Faithful Tour are unbelievable. What a privilege to experience the park in this way. Their snowmobiles are top of the line and the rest of the gear kept us warm all day. A big shout out to our guide Chris, so knowledgeable, patient and an all around great guide. read more

We did a snow coach tour with friends. Our guide Gypsy, was just outstanding. He is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about the Park, all the types of wildlife, how the park was created, the year by year history, the original explorers, and anything else you could want to know. The coach was lots of fun and very comfortable . The wildlife from all kinds of waterfowl to the Bison was more than we imagined. Finally the view point that Gypsy made sure we saw as well as the history that went along with the view was very interesting. I highly recommend YVT, they are so friendly and knowledgeable and the equipment top notch. Thanks for a great experience. read more

We had another outstanding experience with Yellowstone Vacation Tours for our recent snowmobile rental! We had a group of 15 and rented snowmobiles and gear for 3 days, and from start to finish everything was seamless. The customer service and communication were top-notch. The team was responsive, friendly, and incredibly organized, making the entire process stress-free. Check-in and the rental process were quick and easy, even with a large group. All of the equipment and clothing were brand new, spotless, and clearly the highest quality, which made a huge difference in comfort and confidence out on the trails. It's obvious they take great pride in maintaining their gear. We've rented from Yellowstone Vacation Tours several times over the years, and they continue to exceed expectations every single time. We'll certainly be back again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a first-class Yellowstone snowmobile experience! read more

THIS is the way to tour Yellowstone National Park! A friend and I were here Oct. 13-14, and our two days of guided tours with this company were fantastic. I can't remember the name of the guide whose yellow bus we were on for the Oct. 13 Lower Loop tour, but if the company is reading this--he's a retired first responder. Shaggy was our guide for the Oct. 14 Upper Loop tour. Both guides were beyond awesome. The landscape at Yellowstone is spectacular and not like anything I'd ever seen before. I had boarded the bus with no expectations of what the tour might be like. I thought I'd be happy just to see the park and capture some good photos. That all changed when our guides started infusing us with their knowledge and stories. Our guides' passion for Yellowstone was palpable and inspiring. Their extensive and detailed knowledge of the park's history, geology and geological formations, trees, animal life, anything and everything related to Yellowstone was mind-boggling. I learned a great deal from them and what I learned changed how I viewed the park and the kinds of pictures I took. Both guides were very personable and friendly, welcomed questions and were generous with their answers. Both seemed genuinely invested in wanting everyone in our groups to have a positive, memorable experience. They certainly made it memorable for my friend and I. read more

Yellowstone itself was incredible; however, our experience with the tour guide and vehicle was very disappointing. The van provided was very old and uncomfortable, and nearly every warning light on the dashboard was illuminated, which raised safety concerns. This was especially noticeable because we had originally booked a tour with Backcountry, which was unfortunately canceled on December 23 due to icy road conditions. That tour was significantly less expensive, included a newer and much more comfortable vehicle, and the driver was excellent--making the contrast even more apparent. Two specific incidents during our tour were particularly frustrating. On one occasion, we alerted our guide that we had spotted a bald eagle. The vehicle in front of us had clearly seen it as well and was actively backing up to get a better view. Despite this, our guide continued driving without stopping or acknowledging the sighting. The same thing occurred when we spotted a beaver--again, there was no effort to stop or allow us to observe it. Wildlife viewing is a major reason people choose guided tours in Yellowstone, and it was disappointing that these opportunities were dismissed entirely. Overall, the lack of engagement, combined with the condition of the vehicle, made this tour fall far short of expectations. I wanted to share this feedback so it can be addressed for future guests. read more

Yellowstone vacation tours never disappoints! This year we did a public group tour. Our guide Ken was amazing! He told us stories of Yellowstone that would make you feel like you were right there. He was very knowledgeable about the history and animals of Yellowstone. We seen wolves that were sizing up a herd of Bison, coyote, bald eagle, and several separate herd of Bison. We also seen a bubbling mud pot, several hot springs, geysers and thermal features plus of course Old Faithful which Ken perfectly timed our arrival. Ken's stories were never rushed and he was always willing to answer questions in detail. He also jumped in to volunteer to take our group pictures. If you are thinking about a bus tour, you will not be disappointed with this company and hopefully you can get Ken and enjoy some interesting facts and stories about Yellowstone. read more

Booked two tours. The first tour was really fantastic. The guide Kenny was great. Saw a lot of the park. My husband had breathing issues with the altitude. The next morning he was having an asthma attack right before we were supposed to leave so couldn't go. No refund even for a medical situation. Lot of money for three tickets. They didn't even offer a partial refund. read more

We had an amazing time seeing Yellowstone in the winter with Kenny. So knowledgeable of the park!

Excluding all things Yellowstone...the experience was meh. Driver was fine. The cup holders were nasty dirty. We did have the back seats but the ride was rough and the seats small. read more

Amazingly fun day. I would highly recommend it. The park is beautiful in the winter and the wildlife is amazing -- bison, fox, wolves, swans, eagles... read more

My husband and I enjoyed our West Yellowstone tour. This was our 1st time visiting this beautiful park. We saw many interesting sites and some wildlife. Our tour guide was professional and knowledgeable. We would recommend this tour to any 1st timer. read more

Kenny Jones was our tour guide. He was ready to go and met us in lobby. The entire tour was on the coolest Ford tour bus taking us over the upper loop of the grand loop of Yellowstone. The service was excellent throughout the entire day and all the stops and special customization he laid out for us was perfect. We saw incredible volcanic formations valleys, rivers, thermal locations and wild animals at every possible location. Kenny is a living in encyclopedia of knowledge who even brought the tour to live with additional handouts to see details of certain animals in history. We would highly recommend any of his tours as the guide. Laura and Mike SF bay area read more

The tours are very organized and run on time. Our tour guide, Jesse, was very knowledgeable and made the trip very enjoyable! We saw bald eagles, trumpeter swans, buffalo, and geese.

I was out for a five day photography tour. Kenny Jones was our driver and I highly recommend him. He's skilled, easy-going, and has deep knowledge of Yellowstone. He knows the wildlife, what they do, where to go to see them. For anyone interested in photography he's the best you could get. He's an excellent shooter and therefore knows what you need. He's good with light and locations. He's an asset not just with wildlife photography but landscapes as well. He put me on a sunrise that got me my favorite shot of the trip. read more

WOW! This tour was AMAZING! I took a snowmobiling tour with them through YellowStone, and this was the highlight of my trip... BY FAR! Greg was brand new agency, but he was great! He was a park ranger at the park. He was very knowledgeable, and patient with all to us. He wanted to ensure we know everything there is to know about geysers, and Yellowstone in general. He wanted to ensure we saw Old Faithful erupt. The photo ops were perfect, and we were able to get up close with some bison and see other wildlife from afar. I went with the rented clothes and I'm so glad that I did! The snow suites, boots, and gloves were necessary. It does get VERY cold while on the snowmobile. The wind chill made my face cold, but overall, my body was able to maintain some warmth. Being from San Diego, and not used to the cold, I did wear another insulated jacket underneath my suit. read more

Like all the other reviews, we had an amazing time. It's pricey, and worth every penny. We lucked out and went on a partly-cloudy day which made our site-seeing more enjoyable. Our guide was super informative, funny, and light-hearted (see image ). Suggest snowmobile over snowcoach for the thrill and adventure. Suggest renting gear to have a warmer and comfortable experience. Snowmobiles were new and in-shape with built-in hand warmers. Our group did tandem riding which was fun so that one person is driving and the other is site-seeing and switched when needed. Views were STUNNING. Get an annual US Parks Pass BEFORE you go if you are a National Parks fan. FYI you can't snowmobile in the park without a tour guide. 100% recommended read more
