This was our first time in the park, we only had one full day, and we wanted to cover as much as possible with our private “The Best of Yellowstone” tour. We wanted to see all the attractions and wildlife. Even though our expectations were high, the experience far exceeded any hopes we had, and it was the perfect day at Yellowstone. Our guide, Andrea, was engaging and knowledgeable and put together an itinerary that allowed us to see everything we wanted (and more!) He was laid back but kept our group focused and moving. He knew all the best spots and showed us all the wildlife along the way. He balanced the time we spent hiking and the time in the car, we loved the whole day, and as a bonus he is an excellent photographer. Thanks you for making this so memorable.

We were fortunate to have a full day wolf and wildlife safari with Andrea. Beginning with pre safari communication the experience was excellent. Every detail focused on making it the best experience possible for us. We were a group of 4 adults, Andrea picked us up promptly for our Yellowstone Adventure and from that moment every expectation of this full day tour far exceeded what we had hoped.
The reason to go with a guide like Andrea is his wealth of knowledge and information about the wildlife, their habits, and where might be the best opportunity to see animals. He was willing and able to thoughtfully and with detail answer all of our questions.
The day was perfect in every way - do yourself a service and enjoy Yellowstone with Andrea or any one of his team of professional park wildlife experts.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 star experience!
My husband and I immensely enjoyed our private tour of Yellowstone National Park.
We were in Montana for my husband’s birthday getaway.
This was by far one of the best private tours that we have ever been on.
Our guide, Andreas, was amazing and genuinely passionate about all things regarding the Yellowstone ecosystem.
He had extensive knowledge of wildlife biology and ecology and history and he conveyed the information very thoroughly.
We had high power telescopes and binoculars for viewing the wildlife.
And Andreas had real time information via walkie talkie on wildlife sightings which enhanced our adventure. We felt like VIPs.
We traveled in a clean and sleek black SUV and had a delicious picnic lunch of gourmet sandwiches - veggie and turkey with havarti.
I would highly recommend Yellowstone Adventure Tours!
Andreas, thank you for an unforgettable experience!

What a memorable day! Andrea took out our family of 5 for the day - he was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to be with. He knew the best places to go for beautiful views and to see all of the wild animals - bears, wolves, moose, bison, bald eagle and golden eagle, fox, pronghorn, coyote, woodchuck. His equipment was invaluable to the experience. I’d highly recommend!

We had an awesome day at Yellowstone National Park with our tour guide Andrea. He really knew exactly when and where we needed to be to see wolves, bears, bison, and more. Andrea took us to the best spots where we got to see a numerous animals, the absolute best was a wolf pack, we even could hear them howling to one another as well as a grizzly bear chowing down on a bison. Nature is so incredible, it was just amazing.

What a great experience for our family of four! Noah was a wealth of information and good naturedly answered all our questions. Through the provided scope and binoculars we were privileged to watch the Eight Mile Pack get a group of elk on the run! In addition to the wolf pack, we saw bison, proghorn, mule deer, bighorn sheep, coyote, moose, trumpeter swan, and a pygmy owl. We would have seen less than half of these without our wildlife biologist guide. All around a delightful day!

Nathan our guide was hands down the best! He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the park. He made my young family feel comfortable and was very patient with our two girls. Our favorite part was our hike through the snowy trails and seeing the wolves prints along the way.

Without a doubt, Yellowstone Adventure Tours completely exceeded expectations. First time to Yellowstone/Bozeman. Knew we wanted to go to the park, but had tons of questions and concerns doing it ourselves. Andrea was our guide and I honestly don't think there could have been anyone better. Extremely knowledgeable about the park and it's wildlife, Andrea was able to take us to key spots to see everything on our list (Wolf, elk, bison, red fox, coyote, moose, big horn sheep, and even a couple of pine martins - we saw them all!). The day was amazing, one we will never forget. It snowed the whole day we were in the park and that only made it better.
If you are wondering if its worth booking a guide, its 100% worth booking with Andrea and Yellowstone Adventure Tours. He's very welcoming and accommodating. His passion for nature and knowledge is strong. We've already decided to come back during the summer/fall and the only call we'll make is to Yellowstone Adventure Tours.
Thank you Andrea! Such an amazing experience.

We had an amazing private tour of Yellowstone with one of the company’s owners, Andrea. He clearly loves what he does and has dedicated his life to purusing his curiosity about nature. We were the beneficiaries. My family of five, three kids under 13, told Andrea as we started out before the sunrise in Bozeman, what we hoped to see in Yellowstone. Wolves, Bison, Moose, Mountain Goats, Elk, Mountain Lion, Eagle, Fox…before lunch we’d seen most of these, with the Moose being elusive and testing Andrea’s tracking chops. But he spotted it, bedded down in the snow. What appeared like a rock to anyone else, at 25 mph and 100 meters from the road, was exactly what we’d been searching for.
Andrea also did a great job using his network of trackers to help us see Wolves and a Mountain Lion. We noticed that he was well respected among his peers, none of whom hesitated to point us in the right direction.
Lastly was our off-road experience. Andrea took us to a beautiful canyon, a couple of kilometers walk from the road. He identified various tracks and scat as we made first tracks into the canyon and an enormous natural cave hidden inside of it. The whole scene was magical, a blue-bird sky with the snow reflecting the light back.
At the end of our week in Montana, including 5 days of skiing at Big Sky, when we asked our kids (ages 7 to 13) what their favorite part was? Unanimous opinion, our wildlife safari with Andrea.
