I have NEVER drafted a review of anything online. No clothing purchases, no bad airline flights, and no prior tours of any type. It took me 5 minutes to locate how to go online and complete this review, so trust me, this review is the most honest you will read:
We went through a Jackson Hole "concierge" company to help assist in scheduling tours and fun things for my family to do upon arrival. We are a family of 5, with ages ranging from parents, together with a 12, 9, and 5 year old. Flew from Florida, and were not sure of what to expect. The concierge company directed me to the Jackson Hole Wildlife Safari company. boy, were they right!
Jeff Meehan was our tour guide, and his professional demeanor was incredible from the very start. Greeting my children early in the morning with a smile, some laughter, and morning snacks was a benefit (tours with this company started from 6:30-7am).
I have NEVER met a more knowledgeable individual regarding wildlife, history, the State of Wyoming, National Parks, etc. National Geographic needs to interview this man for additional information. My family continuously called him "Wikipedia" because of his thorough discussions and wealth of knowledge. He was courteous towards our questions (and our sheer ignorance of the vast wildlife), and he thoroughly explained every aspect on the tour (from seeds and types of vegetation, to stone and rock, to animal and insect, etc.) This guy was amazing!
Now, if you want to discuss the tour company itself, I can advise that they are overwhelmingly accommodating. If you ask, you shall receive. This isn't a company that simply hires any person to drive a van/SUV and talk while traveling. These guides are extremely knowledgeable about EVERYTHING. They provide facts, fun stories, and added information that one would never expect to receive. Jeff, though, surpasses ALL others, as this man can make you want to move, and hibernate with the animals.
If you are looking for a great company to provide a tour of Teton National Park/Yellowstone National Park/hiking tours/etc, please do not hesitate to use JHWildlife Safaris. They are the absolute BEST! Our experience was amazing...not just good or great. From booking, to scheduling, to types of transportation, provided food/snacks, information and sights on tour, and the professionalism from start to finish, this company should surpass all other competition.
And, when you book your tour...do you yourself a favor, and request Jeff Meehan as your tour guide. I am blown away by this individual, and his vast knowledge of information.
I would give this company, and our experience, 100 stars if I could!
