Dale gave us a great day! Super competent with degrees in Wildlife Management and Geology and decades of guide experience. Super value for anyone visiting Yellowstone and wanting to know more about the Park and see lots of wildlife!

We booked two tours with Dale the South loop and the nature tour and were not disappointed. Dale is an encyclopedia of information about the park and geology. It was a pleasure being with someone who knew so much about the park logistics as we were able to almost everything we wanted. Plus he timed Old faithful to the minute along with the Bee hive. On the nature tour we saw wolves, bison, deer, goats, and….. All and all it was money well spent.

My 2 sons, in their 40s, and I took both the Wildlife and the Lower Loop tours. This was our first time to visit Yellowstone Park and we wanted to ensure that we spent our 4 days on the right stuff. We took the two 12 hour tours in the first 2 days and then spent the next 2 days investigating the park on our own for the specific things that interested us and took time for a hike, etc. Our plan worked well and the valuable investment in these tours was key to making it great. The park is huge; takes about 4 hours to cross it either way. Dale Franz was our personal guide and he did an excellent job of showing us most of the major features and educating us on the history, geology, wildlife, and fauna. His new 15 passenger bus was roomy and comfortable and gave great vantage point for viewing, with a center aisle and the back seat was removed for cargo and supplies. He provided a good continental lunch beside the beautiful Yellowstone river. Both of our tours were not filled to the maximum of 9 people which gave us even more space and our own windows. The cost is not too much considering the value from his almost 30 years of experience and his education and his photography skill which were generously shared with each of us. We normally exited the bus at every major feature at the exactly the best spots to view and for his excellent explanation of it and of the wildlife that was generally within eyesight. He also used his professional spotting scope to let us see the animals at a distance. He also does week-long photography tours for those who are interested in that. I saved the best for last. A very large and angry grizzly bear charged our van as it just came to a stop at one location. Dale estimated that the bear weighed about 600 pounds and he had never seen that behavior at such a close distance. We were never in danger, but Disney doesn't have anything that realistic. Our trip was a great success and Dale Franz was the reason.
