Yellowstone Upper Falls

I enjoyed this 2-day trip. The best part of the trip was the guide Greg himself who was respectful and caring to the customers. However, there should be a better clarity about what sites you just pass by and what sites you stop t and explore. Also, why stay so far in Chico, MT. Why not in West Yellowstone or Gradiner.

Eddie was an awesome guide. His passion was evident in all the information he provided. A+++ experience.

Our guide, Eddie, was a great source of information about the park, its history and geology, and the wildlife. He was courteous, patient and fun-loving. One concern we had was that he had not been vaccinated against Covid-19 and did not wear a mask. Therefore the 7 people in his van, who had all been vaccinated, wore masks whenever we were in the van with him. Had he been vaccinated or worn a mask, we might have felt less compelled to do so ourselves. Great guide, great tour, learned a lot, Chico's hot springs hotel was a plus.

This two day trip exceeded all expectations. Eddie was a fantastic guide who brought Yellowstone to life. We had no idea just how wonderful this American treasure is. So so much more than Old Faithful. There is just nothing like it. We saw so much wildlife — bison, elk, and pronghorn. We had Better luck seeing black bears in Tetons and went home without a glimpse of a grizzly. Yet someone on our tour was lucky to get a good picture of a grizzly from their day prior. Pickup and drop off was seamless. Just pack overnight things in your backpack and take your swimsuit. The stay at the Chico’s resort spa was a treat, reasonably priced (Not included in tour price) and so historically quaint. We made good use of the spa and spa side drink service after we got in and before dinner. Fine dining is available onsite and all our dishes were amazing. Bummed about being sold out of bison rib-eye. Wish I’d thought to make reservations for 7 or 7:30 ahead of time. They were booked solid but happened to have a no show or it would have been burgers or nachos from the Grill. One of our group booked late and had to find a place in Gardiner where we dropped them off and then met for breakfast. They had a nice time checking out the town and had a great game dinner at Iron Horse, so they were happy too.

Touring Yellowstone with a guide is a great way to go, there is so much to see, but our guide Eddie made it an experience our family will never forget. His knowledge of the area was only surpassed by his amazing warmth and friendliness. After two days with him, we felt like he is part of the family. He knew all the great spots to hit, he found bears, elk, bison (of course), pronghorn, and he even knew where the wolves den was, though we didn't get to see them unfortunately. The van was new, comfortable, and provided great visibility for the passengers. It was a tall Sprinter van, so we could all see great. Eddie had binoculars and a spotting scope so we could really see the animals up close. I was able to take pics of a grisly bear through the scope, turned out great.

The stay at Chico Hotel was the worst part of the trip.not meant for vegetarians.instead we could have been put with to Yellowstone). There is no need to go Chico Hotel.The guide Greg Eiks is very good: well informed, patient, took great care of travelers.

Joe was a very experienced, knowledgable guide. We got to see everything but a grizzly bear. He answered all questions. Joe made us feel like a long lost friend. I would recommend this trip to anyone. It was well worth the money.
