Yellowstone 6-day's tour we took was good. Our guide was very helpful and co-operative.He conducted entire itinerary very well. Hotel rooms were great. We were told that there is no complimentry breakfast but to our surprise hotel served everyone breakfast. That was quite unexpected and when something like this happens it surely makes the whole expereince amazing. Only concern was with Bus which wasn't in best condition.
