What people love about touring Yellowstone National Park solo
- 8 Day Grand Teton & Yellowstone Explorer
It was a great tour. Fantastic scenery and Kirk showed us the lot. We never felt rushed. We made short hikes every day to great view points. We were extremely lucky with the weather.
- Yellowstone / Grand Teton 4 Day / 3 Night Wildlife Adventure
The tour is very good. We saw a lot of animals and went to a lot of places in the park that people don’t go to and should. But we had a lot of problems communicating with the tour operators to get information about our tour. I would suggest that you check out the other tour companies to see what they offer.
- 4 day Yellowstone and Tetons in depth tour from Salt Lake City Small Groups Tour
Memorable, great guide, beautiful sites, friendship! Chris P, our guide, was great! He was a lot of fun, organized, considerate, experienced and flexible to the group's needs and wishes. His intuition to spot wild animals was on point! We saw bears, bison, bald eagles, moose, etc. Bring binoculars. The sites we visited were all BREATH-taking! Great selection of places in four days. Hiking was manageable. Hiking boots with ankle support recommended. Sleeping in a tent, cooking dinner at camp sites, and preparing sandwich/fruits/salad for lunch at local parks were memorable! Bring layers of clothes. It can get very cold at night and early morning. The BEST part of the trip was that my son and I had so much laughs with people who were strangers on Day one and became friends on Day four. This was my second trip with Bindlestiff Tours. Highly recommended!!
