    Awesome float on the Madison. BJ our guide was fantastic. Teaching and giving advice along with awesome conversation. I ended up with some beautiful trout. These two, a Rainbow and a German Brown, were the highlight of the day for our group. Lucky me. Thanks BJ. I'll be be back.

    Right on Main Street and is a one stop shop for your fishing needs they also know where the fish are biting. They have every type fly you will need and anything you forget at home they'll probably have in stock also a big outdoor clothing selection

    Had a great time with our guide Phillip. He was super knowledgeable. Check in was pretty quick & easy but I wish he still had his full shop. It was an overcast day but we pretty much avoided rain. The river was beautiful & views were epic. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Arrick again. We did a half day walking and it was perfect for us as we are pretty inexperienced. Thanks Phillip; awesome to meet you!!!

    This shop is great! We booked a float trip for two boats. One of beginners and one of vets. I say veteran fly fishers, not pros, and we definitely appreciated the patience our guide gave. Zack was our guide in the boat with experienced fishers and he was great. He had everything that embodied a good guide. He knew the river and the flies and how to untangle line and how to laugh at my dumb jokes and how to untangle lines again and how to be really excited when his client caught fish. We (the vets) insisted on dry flies which only regretted for about an hour of the day, but it was the kind of fishing we like and he indulged us. The beginner boat, guided by Oliver, fished wet and they probably caught more, so I'm glad they could get on fish, too. Lunch was surprisingly good (it's not always on guided trips) so there is another feather in their cap (let's say a nice Cree saddle feather for you fly tying geeks) The shop itself is a nice little store. Great selection of flies and tying stuff, but also a good selection of gear and merchandise. Arrick helped us both times I was in and is a genuinely nice guy. Without getting into too much why, we had some special requests on the guide trip and he made sure they were respected and our needs accommodated. And kudos to Zack for being on top of them as well. Oliver was nice, but I didn't interact with him much. For a town with a fly shop every hundred meters, one really has to stand out. Arricks has stood out in a good way and earned my repeat business and respect. So thank you. (And yes, I caught the biggest fish of the day, in case you were wondering...a solid pig of a brown on a #16 dry fly cripple) (Also, I was the only one in the party fall in the river. So there's that)

    We booked a trip with Arrick's and drift boat fished with Wyatt on the Madison river. After a slow start, we hooked fish pretty much all day. Scotch Browns, Rainbows, Cuttbows, and Whitefish were all volunteering to try our flies. We were at first confused about Arrick's shop location as he moved it after an outrageous rent increase to his garage. It worked out well and the service was top notch. Would definitely go again and recommend to others.

    We went on a rainy day in May. We had two tour guys Matt and Zach, both of them were great guides for us first timers. We went out about 30 minutes to a part of the Madison River that we can wade in. Zach was teaching us and he caught a fish immediately. It looked so easy. Everyone in our party caught a fish, it was awesome. These guys know their stuff !

    We went out with Zach and could not have had a better trip. I'd never been fly fishing before but Zach was very patient and helpful. He put us on fish immediately and we had a blast.

The staff in the office were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The snowmobiles were in great shape and work flawlessly! Our guide, Roy, did a super job! He gave us clear instructions on how to use the machines and the 'rules of the road.' Along the way he stopped at the interesting/beautiful locations and taught us many interesting facts. He is an outstanding guide! Very entertaining. I would definitely rent from them again. And a special thanks to Kennedy for all his help too!

He was extremely kind,…read morefantastic at communicating with everyone about the challenging segments of the tour, and made sure everyone had a great time. What stood out most to us was how incredibly knowledgeable he was. He taught us about Edgar Howell and the history of the bison population in the park, how to differentiate coyotes from foxes, the Bubbly Paint Pot--how it was formed and became a giant sulfuric acid pond, the remnants of the concrete road, the 1988 fire, the earthquake, and the consequences of those natural events on the park. He also explained how mineralized, super dead trees were formed and, most importantly, how Yellowstone's bio-ecosystem is changing the world, with potential futures for biodiesel and microplastic-consuming organisms! We could tell this guy loves his job so much that he became a nerd--in the best way possible. He made the entire group feel comfortable, was always ready to answer questions, and happily chatted with anyone interested. He's extremely funny; we couldn't help laughing out loud at his hilarious and brilliant safety instructions. We definitely had a blast on this snowmobile tour, and it was 110% worth every penny because Ben was our guide!!! Book Yellowstone Vacation Tours ASAP, especially with Ben if you can. To the Yellowstone Vacation Tour big boss: please don't ever let Ben go, because we WILL be back and will ask for him. Also, give him a raise--because if you haven't, I mean, what are you even doing?! ‍

    I toured Yellowstone National Park on three separate days (12/17-12/19/2018) in snowcoaches…read moreprovided by Alpen Guides. Since the cost of the tours was included in a vacation package provided by a travel company, I'm not sure about Alpen Guides' specific prices. This review is based on how much I appreciated the tour itself. I went on two tours to Old Faithful & one to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The Grand Canyon tour included a box lunch. The Old Faithful tour didn't include a meal but you could purchase something to eat at the Old Faithful visitor's center restaurant if you wanted to. I was so excited about riding the snowcoaches! In Yellowstone, snowcoaches are a normal mode of transportation during the winter but I'd never ridden one or even seen one in person before. In lieu of regular tires, the back portion of a snowcoach has tracks like a tank & the front part has something that resembles skis so it can plow through the snow. The reason why I was so anxious to ride one is because the kid in me remembered the old "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" animation special where the narrator rode one. For each tour, I was picked up just before 8:30 am near the front of the motel where I was staying. We normally returned back from the tour around 4:30 pm. The tour groups are usually small (the ones I went on ranged from 4 to 8 tourists with either one or a couple of driver/tour guides). On the three days I went, I rode with customers from Ohio, Alabama, Maryland, Canada, Utah, and the Phillipines (among other places). We were told not to throw gum or candy wrappers on the ground inside the park because they want to keep Yellowstone as natural as possible. During the winter season when there's lots of snow, they only allow snowcoaches & snowmobiles in Yellowstone. Snowcoaches have a speed limit of 25 mph while snowmobiles have a speed limit of 35 mph. Because snowmobiles are allowed to go faster, snowcoach drivers are supposed to pull over to the side and let them pass. Snowmobile drivers usually travel in groups & from my observation behaved like groups of people in a motorcycle club; like they owned the road even though most of them were riding snowmobiles for the first time. The crowds in Yellowstone are small & spread out in December so even with the snowmobilers we felt like we almost had the park to ourselves. The worst thing about the snowmobilers is when we're quietly taking pictures of wildlife & then they drive up en masse & unintentionally scare the animals off. Our drivers/tour guides were excellent at their job. They had eyes like hawks, pointing out such sights as bald eagles nesting in the trees that most of us would've missed. They knew everything about the various types of trees and wildlife. My favorite part was other than seeing the wildlife was listening to the guides tell stories about their experiences in Yellowstone. One tour guide told us about when he was by himself in the park & a grizzly began approaching him. He had to use bear spray to temporarily slow it down so he could get in his vehicle & drive away. Another guide told us about how bald eagles mate for life & how they sometimes test the worthiness of a mate during courtship by doing a death spiral. A death spiral is when they lock talons high in the air, tumble towards the earth & then let go just before hitting the ground. That's how they decide whether their mate is a ride or die. If you're trying to decide which tour to choose, I'd recommend that you go on both. The Old Faithful tour has the best opportunity for souvenirs due to the two gift shops near the geyser. Also, there's a restaurant beside one of the souvenir shops. The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone tour is popular too because tourists love taking selfies with the canyon waterfall in the distant background. The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone tour includes a boxed lunch that consists of a cold sandwich (roast beef, turkey, etc.), small bag of chips & Oreo cookies. We ate the boxed lunch inside the Canyon Visitor Education Center (where you can see animal skulls & pelts). You'll see wildlife on both tours but I saw more bison on the Old Faithful tour. Every time you venture into Yellowstone it's likely you'll notice something you didn't see the day before. I enjoyed riding the snowcoaches but my favorite was the maroon bombardier that has been running since the 1950s that's nicknamed Chip. It also had a roof that the driver sometimes opened when Chip was parked. You could stand up, stick your head out & take pictures. The other snowcoaches were nice too, although they looked more modern. All of them were toasty inside but during the winter you should wear warm clothing because you will get out of the ride & walk some. The weather fluctuated from single digits to the twenties later in the afternoon. Alpen Guides is as good as it gets when it comes to sightseeing tours. Five stars!

    The good: Van was heated, lunch was good, everyone was safe…read more The bad: Don was like listening to Fox News. He talked over us (on a microphone blasting the van) while we were trying to have family time and a family conversation. He was the main attraction at the park that day! We asked him not to talk about politics because we weren't interested in his arm chair quarterbacking. He declined. He didn't ask much about our opinions about where to tour that day. We are locals from Wyoming. Last year a tour operator (at a different company) laid out options and she encouraged us to make our own decisions. If you like not making decisions or having input, listening to Yellowstone facts (sprinkled with politics) blasted into your ears while you drive through pristine Yellowstone, Don is for you!
