It's taken a while to write this, as I really had to work on what I thought of the tour. It's billed as "wildlife and nature" tour. With that, it met expectations. The guide was knowledgeable of animal habitats and locations, and geological formations. The pros- saw wildlife, knowledgeable guide. Breakfast and lunch were provided. The cons- more expensive than tours inside the park and rates were different by group (happened to ask a fellow passenger), the guide did not convey a "love" of wildlife and a bit dreary of the job. The tour is long....12 hours! Maybe that can't be helped as the drive to Yellowstone is lengthy. He did do pickup at the hotel which was nice. I would say it was a nice tour but not great for the cost!

What an amazing day from start to finish! We saw more animals than I ever dreamed and got amazing pictures all day long. Dale is so knowledgeable and courteous and by the end of the day he seems like family! With a great breakfast and lunch provided and many stops along the way, the day just flew by. I would definitely recommend this tour with this company, Experience Yellow Stone Tours with Dale Franz!

Spectacular!!! Amazing!! Superb!! If you want to see Yellowstone, Dale is the perfect guide. We spent two days with Dale and we saw way more than I had imagined possible! Dale is a world class wildlife photographer who has been guiding tours here for 30 years. He took us places we would have never seen otherwise. We saw several geysers erupt, waterfalls and tons of wildlife. He made this trip perfect for us!

A great experience. It was great having a well versed guide to show us so many things we would have missed if traveling on our own. Dale is genuinely a wonderful and patient guide who works very hard to make your experience a great one.

Our tour guide, Dale, was proficiently knowledgable about the surrounding flora and fauna. His extensive historical background allowed us to understand the formation of the various landscapes and current conditions and circumstances of the animals. Dale shared his appreciation for all aspects of the park to help us understand the behavior of all the animals that we were fortunate to witness. On our tour, Dale was well-equipped with binoculars and a spotting scope to help us view bison, elk, mule deer, antelope, wolves, eagles, marmots, and hawks.

Would have given 10 stars for this tour. Dale was so knowledgeable and took us to places we would never have seen on our own. The vehicle was very comfortable. We had the lower loop tour. Dale was a wealth of information.

Our tour guide Dale was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He took us to so many areas and we got to view a variety of animals that we would have just driven past on our own. The pick up and delivery back to our hotel was very convenient and the breakfast he provided was wonderful. The day was packed full of great sights and we enjoyed every minute of the tour. We highly recommend Experience Yellowstone Tours. Thank you Dale for making it a success.

We were picked up at our hotel in Cody, and had a very enjoyable and informative tour. Dale had a spotting scope and found nests of owls, ospreys, eagles and falcons. We also saw and heard dancing sandhill cranes. Plus 2 bears, numerous buffalo, elk, antelopes, sheep, and mountain goats. It was billed as a wildlife tour, but Dale filled us with information about the geology of the park, the early explorers, Chief Joseph, and so much more.

We booked two tours with Dale the South loop and the nature tour and were not disappointed. Dale is an encyclopedia of information about the park and geology. It was a pleasure being with someone who knew so much about the park logistics as we were able to almost everything we wanted. Plus he timed Old faithful to the minute along with the Bee hive. On the nature tour we saw wolves, bison, deer, goats, and….. All and all it was money well spent.

My 2 sons, in their 40s, and I took both the Wildlife and the Lower Loop tours. This was our first time to visit Yellowstone Park and we wanted to ensure that we spent our 4 days on the right stuff. We took the two 12 hour tours in the first 2 days and then spent the next 2 days investigating the park on our own for the specific things that interested us and took time for a hike, etc. Our plan worked well and the valuable investment in these tours was key to making it great. The park is huge; takes about 4 hours to cross it either way. Dale Franz was our personal guide and he did an excellent job of showing us most of the major features and educating us on the history, geology, wildlife, and fauna. His new 15 passenger bus was roomy and comfortable and gave great vantage point for viewing, with a center aisle and the back seat was removed for cargo and supplies. He provided a good continental lunch beside the beautiful Yellowstone river. Both of our tours were not filled to the maximum of 9 people which gave us even more space and our own windows. The cost is not too much considering the value from his almost 30 years of experience and his education and his photography skill which were generously shared with each of us. We normally exited the bus at every major feature at the exactly the best spots to view and for his excellent explanation of it and of the wildlife that was generally within eyesight. He also used his professional spotting scope to let us see the animals at a distance. He also does week-long photography tours for those who are interested in that. I saved the best for last. A very large and angry grizzly bear charged our van as it just came to a stop at one location. Dale estimated that the bear weighed about 600 pounds and he had never seen that behavior at such a close distance. We were never in danger, but Disney doesn't have anything that realistic. Our trip was a great success and Dale Franz was the reason.
