  • 5Highlight of our vacation!

    A highlight of our trip! From the time we were picked up at our hotel to the time we were dropped off, we were treated to a special day of sights almost too amazing for description. Neveah, our guide was both friendly and knowledgeable. Our fellow passengers were from all parts of the country and even Saudi Arabia. Of course we experienced the natural geological wonders of Yellowstone and saw wildlife including, elk, bear, and the bison. Best of all, we didn’t have to drive ourselves and struggle with traffic and parking. Highly recommend this excursion for folks on a tight schedule or for first time visitors.

  • 5Great tour of Lower Loop Yellowstone

    This was a fantastic tour today with Christy. Christy is a terrific guide, knowledgeable, personable and a wealth of information. She made the day fly by with her constant information about the park, both historical and current day. We feel like we had a very special tour of the lower loop that included everything we could have wanted. The lunch provided was great. We saved so much time with the pickups and drop offs at the various spots saving us tons of time and removing all the hassles of parking, etc. When it rained she figured out how to drop us off under cover which was much appreciated. Terrific 5 stars!!

About West Yellowstone

West Yellowstone is a small Montana town at the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park, ringed by forested mountain country and rivers.

West Yellowstone sits at about 2,000 metres on the Montana side of the Idaho border, right at the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Its streets of log-fronted shops, motels and restaurants serve the park, and a museum in the old railway depot tells how early visitors arrived by train. A wildlife centre cares for grizzly bears and wolves that cannot be returned to the wild.
