As a professional travel advisor, I love to experience guided tours anywhere I go to ensure that I'm offering the very best trip advice and tours to my clients.
After my family took a day excursion with Aaron, I can confidently say that seeing the Yellowstone/Grand Teton area with Teton Excursions is the BEST way to experience the parks!
Aaron is not only super personable, he is also extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the area - the history, the wildlife, the plants, and how to make the best use of your time during the day.
He knows all of the details that will make your trip far more comfortable than if you were doing everything on your own. He knows shortcuts, how to avoid lines, when the best time is to experience a certain area, and where the best bathrooms are!
We saw far, FAR more of Yellowstone traveling with Aaron than we ever would have on our own. And a huge benefit of taking a day excursion with Aaron is the simple fact that you don't have to worry about the logistics of anything. You can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the stunningly beautiful views of Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
Aaron is very obviously not just another tour operator - our day spent with him showed us how much he loves the parks and how he is concerned with keeping them environmentally clean. A couple of moments that stood out to me were 1) when he went out of his way to thank a park worker who was picking up trash, and 2) when he went above and beyond to retrieve a mask that had blown away from a park visitor (the mask otherwise would have become litter in the park.)
Finally, Aaron is very laid back but also professional and concerned with making the best use of your time in the park, so our day was a perfect blend of stress-free sightseeing combined with the steady guidance of a professional guide who kept us on a solid schedule, ensuring the opportunity to see everything we wanted to see.
