There are many wonderful things about this tour. First, the van has windows all around, even the roof is a window! This gives everyone a clear view of the mountains, trees, and wildlife, including flying eagles and hawks. The roof opens up for an open air experience. There's lots of legroom and space between passengers, although the ride is more like a truck than a car. Second, you don't have to drive the 200 mile trip and instead can enjoy the scenery. We were picked up and dropped off right at our lodging. Everything was very conenient, and after 12 hours we were grateful not to have driven ourselves. Third, our driver Kim is an excellent tour guide! She is very knowledgable about everything Yellowstone, including about places enroute to the park and back again. I learned a lot from her. Kim is very attentive and pays attention to details, like taking the ladies to the better bathrooms, dropping us off curbside close to sights, providing lots of good tips, and giving us choices and enough time to enjoy each stop. She has an interesting background too. Fifth, the amazing scenery! Yellowstone is so beautiful, and rich with unique geology, wildlife, and history. We saw a momma grizzly and her yearling. There's plenty of buffalo, and one even walked right past us in the street. Everything about this tour makes it worthwhile, even the snacks and the good lunch made by a local Cody eatery. Water is provided. One caveat: there were several booking mistakes. I hope this will be corrected. In the meantime, don't be shy about reminding the booking company about your tours and times.
