The magic of Montana

Published on Oct, 2023

Yellowstone Recreation Company will be the only one I use moving forward. Elijah was an amazing guide. I never thought I could have so much fun at 6am. He was friendly, an encyclopedia of education and made sure we all enjoyed the tour. Best tour and getting to see the magic of Montana was breathtaking. Bonus: Lunch was from Wonderland. Tip: Wear layers you can peel off as the sun rises and heats up.

The magic of Montana

Published on Oct, 2023

The tour company confirmed day before and took lunch order. The morning of, easy directions and meet up. Elijah was so friendly, patient and really made sure we got to see the magic of Montana. He even took videos that he shared with the group. I am so glad I booked this tour and will use the Yellowstone Recreation in the future. Bonus: lunch was from Wonderland. Tips: Layer up because it's cold at 6a and until the sun has peaked.

upper loop

Published on Sep, 2023

went on upper loop, Elijha was our guide, was an excellent time, he was very knowledgeable of the park, wildlife and any other crazy question I may have asked. luckily we got guided private tour , due to no-one else showed for the tour, so he did what we thought was interested or was wanting to see. ( he did do great recommendations) so amazing wildlife, got great video of wolf pack, many bison , pronghorn, some elk. so other parts of park, grand canyon of Yellowstone , geysers, just what we was interested in, great lunch(picnic) spot and the food (veggie wrap for me) was excellent., would highly recommend this tour and request Elijha if possible. much better than the lower loop tour ( another co.)

First time, first visit

Published on Sep, 2023

Our tour guide was Named Elijah S. He took us to Lamar Valley and the upper loop. He was a wealth of information and friendly and very accommodating. We were provided with a substantial lunch. I would highly recommend this tour company.

Upper loop tour was fantastic

Published on Aug, 2023

Amazing tour and Shaggy was an excellent guide! Saw bears, bison, prong horn deer, elk and beautiful scenery. Well worth the price of the all day tour and we didn’t have to drive.
