Beyond expectations

5.005 stars is not enough to rate this experience. Our guide John was absolutely amazing! We were hesitant to book at first because of the price but it was worth every penny (and then some). Trying to plan our Yellowstone/Teton visit was so overwhelming. This excursion took all that away. We saw everything we wanted to and more without the stress of planning it ourselves. If we got somewhere and the parking lot was packed, John would drop us off with clear instructions as to where to walk/stand for optimal views. We didn't have to waste time finding a parking spot and walking. We saw sooo much more than we would have on our own not to mention how knowledgeable he was. If wildlife was spotted far away he would bring out his telescope for us to use. We watched a wolf pack that we would have never seen if it wasn't for that. Chico Springs was a wonderful experience...rustic but great. We ate at the bar and grill and it was delicious. The next morning we were all up bright and early and in the park for sunrise. If you are stressed trying to figure out an itinerary for maximizing your time in the parks I can't recommend this tour enough. They do all the planning and you can just sit back and take it all in.
10 Stars!!!!!

5.00John from Teton Floats was by far the best tour guide we have ever met! Very personable and knowledgeable about Yellowstone. We saw a grisly bear five minutes after entering the park! We also saw two black bear cubs with Mom in a tree, bald eagles, tons of bison and elk. Such a great trip! Just in case you did not see it, this is an overnight tour and you need to get a hotel room. If you like rustic, then Chico Hot Springs is for you. If we ever get back to Jackson, we will definitely be requesting John at Teton Floats for our next tour!
Would recommend this to anyone

5.00This was incredible two day tour. Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable about Yellowstone and wildlife. He was able to spot wildlife the whole trip because he knew where to look. We saw everything except a moose. He was very accommodating to all passengers. Being in a van we could go places the big busses cannot. We had time to see all the main attractions at an easy pace. This is the only way to see Yellowstone.
Awesome Tour of Yellowstone

5.00Our two day tour through the Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks was very complete! Our “ foursome” thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our experience. Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the parks. He was very caring and attentive to the safety and needs of his tourists. He has a keen sense in spotting wildlife. John is an asset to your touring business! The fee for the tour was reasonable because we acquired “tons” of new knowledge, saw spectacular landscapes, and enjoyed the ride-along through Yellowstone.
Amazing!

5.00Great tour! John was a very knowledgeable guide and worked around all weather related obstacles we had to ensure we had the best experience and saw all kinds of wildlife including bears, elk, and wolves. Would highly recommend. Note: book your overnight stay in advance, prepare for snow in October, and bring your own water bottle. Water is provided but its in an aluminum can.

5.00Would give this tour more stars if I could. We got the full Yellowstone experience from glaciers and other formations to lots of wildlife sitings. John P was a super knowledgeable and experienced guide and lots of fun.. Kilmeny who works behind the scenes was really great as well.
