Our guide, Joe, was exceptional. Friendly, personable and incredibly well-informed about Yellowstone's history, geology and wildlife. My friend and I thought he was terrific and he contributed so much to our wonderful day in incredible Yellowstone. It's a long day, so having a great tour guide is so important. I went with one friend and we were lucky that the four other people with us were good company. All in all, a great experience.

The excursion was amazing!! But it was our guide (John Putrino) that made the trip. He was so knowledgeable and we could tell that he was passionate about nature and the animals. I would take this trip again but we would have to have John.

I had a fabulous time on the tour. I was a single traveler and that wasn’t an issue at all. I felt welcomed by our guide. He went over the top to show us all the exciting sights of Yellowstone.
