This GYG app made our three days in Yellowstone very productive. It identified every Park feature with enough detail and background that we could make sound judgments about what to see and what to skip. In two and a half days we covered the entire Park loop - north and south, and there is literally nothing significant to us that we missed. The app worked with very few hiccups, without regard to wi-fi or cell service, and whenever we returned to the car, it picked up in the correct spot. For less than half the cost of a tee shirt, we had a more productive visit than most other travelers we talked to.. And we had never been to Yellowstone previously. We won’t visit another national park without getting the app!

Beautiful day. Cool in the am but warmed up wrh sunshine. Our guide Kianna was friendly, knowledgeable and considerate of all the passengers. So much better than trying to drive it on our own. We would have missed so much and had to wait for parking and not know all the answers to not only questions we had but questions others on our trip asked. Kianna got us to old faithful at just the right time. Very grateful for everything we saw and heard about on our trip. Kianna made it worthwhile.

Our Guide Katie was awesome. We had a great day exploring Yellowstone park and all it has to offer. We would highly recommend this trip

Duncan was extremely knowledgeable and able to interact with the group for more than 12 hours. Kudos!

The whole trip was a blast! Duncan and Kelly was the best!
