This short but highly entertaining tour was one of the best experiences in my life. Everything went according to the plan and well within the budget. All the five days were unique with each day offering something different. I had never visited the Yellowstone Park during the winters. Through this tour service I was able to visit the park during winter. I really enjoyed each and every aspect of the tourism service. The bus ride was very comfortable and the hotels for the overnight stay were excellent. I wish I had my family along with me as well as they would have really enjoyed this unique travel.
Sying Hou
I would definitely recommend the tour to my family and friends. We took this tour on March4th, 2017. I had heard a lot about National Yellowstone Park and how it is better to visit in summer but believe me during winter time it gets even more beautiful. The snow capped mountain and multiple exciting activities just make it worth a visit during winter time. And more importantly winter packages are cheaper than the summer ones. The tour guide was absolutely fantastic. So considerate and such a patient young man, ready to listen to anyone's problems.
Mehari Tewelde
Everything went according to the plan and to be fair I think the tour was really awesome. Usually I am a very critical person and usually m very good as far as highlighting loop holes goes. I did not find much to criticize in this tour. The hotels were nice and really had a nice sleep overnight. The dining options were good as well. The destinations were simply fantastic and I did enjoy the Yellowstone Park. The only thing which did not go well for me was the duration. I think the tour can be extended a bit and a few more destinations can be added.
Eugene Matveyeva
It was a shame that the same people were late at nearly every stop, and I really did feel for tour guide in having to deal with their apparent lack of respect for her, or anyone else on the trip really. Such people do spoil the fun of the entire trip. I think we should think about our behaviours and actions and their effect on others. I was having great time on tour but such behavious of other people rally ruined it for me.
Samuel Berhane
It should be noted that this is obviously highly promoted to Asian people and I was the only Caucasian on the trip, which felt a little awkward, particularly when 2/3 did not speak English. Everyone was was very polite (apart from the family that were continuously late), and one Chinese couple took a liking to me, and it was interesting trying to converse when neither speaks the other language, but they were absolutely lovely. All in all a pretty good tour.
Ryder Fiveash
I wish that the rest room on the bus was available. You have to do something about that. It is not fair to tell people to wait for an hour or two for the rest area. If you have the restroom then let people use it. Certain trips were a bit too long. All in all a great tour at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend it.
