Despite challenging weather conditions our tour of Yellowstone with Owen and Covered Ground Tours was fabulous. It was a 3 bear day - as well as bison and elk. For us it was a first trip to Yellowstone and it was so nice to sit back, relax and leave the driving to a very capable Owen. Thank You!!

We did the Highlights of Yellowstone Lower Loop tour with Cody from CoveredGround Tours. The tour was fantastic and Cody did a phenomenal job. He was knowledgeable, helpful, engaging, and made us wish the tour was longer than the 12 hours we had. On the tour we saw lots of wildlife (bison, elk, a bear), all 4 types of geothermal events, the lodge and of course old faithful. Cody even threw in a few tips that enhanced our experience. Oh and the brownie at lunch, Amazing. Through my experience I also worked with a couple other members of their team. All were courteous, professional, and happy to help ensure we had a great trip. I highly recommend going with CoveredGround.

Very well put together. Was on time for our pickup and drop off. Kody did an excellent job showing us things we would have missed. The picnic lunch was very good.

The guided van tour was great. So much great information about the park and anecdotes. The Yellowstone roads are dotted with hubs of excitement as visitors spy key species and gather. And of course this tour went through the geologically active part of the part with steam vents, hot mud pools and the extremely hot clear blue pools and the number one sight - Old Faithful geyser. The guides were excellent at anticipating the plains animals and engaging with other ‘spotters’ to get great views. They explained the geology very well and provided crucial safety guidance. It was a great way to cover a lot of ground and experience this fantastic unique environment.
