Best tour I've been on in years. First, the level of service was outstanding. They tailored our tour to make sure we did what we wanted to do, see what we wanted to see, etc. They were very flexible. Doug and Debbie were on top of everything including lunch. The lunches were excellent. I thought it might be some routine bag lunch, but it was really good and a lot to eat! Doug took us out at 5:30AM to catch the wildlife and was at the meeting location early armed with coffee, snacks and scopes. He was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and always set equipment up and took equipment down everytime we stopped to catch a glimpse of any wildlife. Anyway, prior to starting, Doug already had knowledge of where to go (a kill site from the day before ). Soon we found ourselves close up and personal in the middle of a herd of buffalo - I literally said "was I the only one who just felt a little fear?" after one buffalo gave us the stink eye as he walked past. They were all around us and at times close enough to touch (we didn't). In fact we witnessed a buffalo funeral as many buffalo would circle the kill site from the day before in silence to pay respect before moving on. We saw a black wolf, black bear, osprey, pronghorn, elk, big horn sheep and the grand prize was a grizzly bear. The Lamar valley was like the Serengeti and full of buffalo and wildlife. It seemed every place Doug took us we spotted wildlife. To put this in perspective the day before we drove ourselves through Yellowstone and saw only Elk at Mammoth Springs, otherwise nothing. I'm not sure we would have been able to have the same incredible experience without having Doug and Yellowstone Dreamin! Thanks again to Debbie and Doug and I will always recommend them to anyone going forward!
