We have been on many guided tours in several national parks and this was the best tour yet. We saw so much wildlife…bison and “red dogs”, pronghorn, black bear and cubs, grizzly bear, elk, moose, sandhill cranes and chicks, snowshoe hare, bald eagle and chicks, bighorn sheep, coyotes, killdeer, pelicans, otter, ground squirrels, and mountain bluebirds. Our tour guide, Scott, was extremely knowledgeable about animals, geology, history of the park and many other things. We learned a lot from him! He was very thoughtful and accommodating to our special needs. Even though he has been doing guided tours for 10 years he was excited every time we saw an animal. His enthusiasm was contagious. The lunch was delicious and generous. It was an absolutely amazing tour!!! Well worth the money. We highly recommend this tour!

We had a great day with Levi on June 3, he was waiting for us before our planned meeting time and did a fantastic job all day. Apart from getting us to the right places to see nearly every animal on our list, he did a great job navigating through the park keeping everyone comfortable in the van. We were able to see deer, elk, a cinnamon black bear, pronghorn antelope, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, hundreds of bison, and he set up the scope with a view of a wolf den where he made sure everyone in our group was able to have a turn and saw the wolves outside their den. Lastly, we were able to check off one of my "bucket list" items when we spotted a moose in the trees just a few feet off the road. We weren't fortunate enough to spot a grizzly that day, but not for lack of trying. We scheduled our tour for our first day in the Yellowstone area and it gave us a great overview of the park and set us up for a great week. I highly recommend the Tied to Nature team for a Yellowstone tour.

John was a very fun and knowledgeable guide! He took us to all the best spots for viewing wildlife and we were able to see so many animals including bears, bison, elk, coyote, fox, and more, and we learned so much about the park. The tour surpassed our expectations and we would definitely recommend this to others!
