The best way to view Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons We recently took a 1 day tour of the Grand Tetons and a 4 day tour of Yellowstone National Park using Buffalo Roam Tours. Matt worked with us for over a year in planning our trip and our guides (Al and Steven) could not have been better. We had a very diverse group, ranging in age from 7 to 79 years and in ability from over-active kids to some adults who had trouble climbing stairs. We had 2 guides because our group was too large for a single van. Steven and Al worked together to match the opportunities with the group abilities. For example, one would take part of the group on a scenic hike to a feature while the other would drive the "non-hiking" group on a more direct (but less scenic) path. The major advantage of hiring professional, local guides is that they know the area very well and know when and where to find special events. For example, they knew when and where to be in Lamar Valley to see the wolves, when and where to see the Osprey in its nest, when and where to be to see the rainbow in the mist of Lower Yellowstone Falls. These are all things we would have probably missed had we organized the trip on our own. Steven and Al were both very good at spotting wildlife as we were driving along. For example, at one spot they stopped and said there were Pronghorn Sheep in the meadow next to us. We had to look quite some time before we finally spotted them. They quickly spotted bears (over a dozen), Pronghorn, goats, Osprey carrying fish, etc. When it comes to observing wildlife, Buffalo Roam Tours has high quality binoculars (1 per each person in our group) and high quality spotting scopes (1 per van.) This allowed everyone to get very good looks at the wildlife. I would HIGHLY recommend Buffalo Roam Tours if you are planning to go to either the Grand Tetons or to Yellowstone National Park. You will see and enjoy the trip much more! read more

We went on a one-day tour of Grand Teton National Park in early May. The tour was exceptionally good. Our tour guide, Frank, was very knowledgeable about the area and provided a comfortable and friendly environment, and answered our many questions with patience. The touring van was comfortable, easy to get in and out of, had good visibility, and was well-equipped with binoculars, spotting scope, water and snacks to keep us going through the day. The pace of the tour was just right: leisurely enough that we were able to enjoy each spot, but it kept moving and we were able to cover a lot of ground and at least touch on all of the "must see" points in GTNP, as well as some lesser-known areas. I would recommend this especially as a tour to take on one's first day in GTNP. It gave us a very good sense of the park and the wildlife so that we were better able to plan our activities in subsequent days. We highly recommend a tour with this company, and our tour guide Frank was the best! read more

If you are looking for an incredible day to see Yellowstone, this tour is personable, informative, educational, enjoyable and amazing! Our tour guide, Connie, picked us up promptly at our Dude Ranch and took us on a 200+ mile 10+ hour ride through the Grand Teton National Park and lower Yellowstone loop. WOW, what a day!!! We saw everything we wanted and more. She timed the blowing of Old Faithful perfectly and gave us time to visit the hotel there. A must see! We took beautiful walks to beautiful sites. We were dropped at the beginning of 'must see' view trails and picked up promptly when we returned. Connie has actually lived in Yellowstone and you can feel her love for the area. Seems like it would be a long day but, it whizzed by and we were sorry to say goodbye. If you have kids, Connie had all the prosp (actual fur of bears and elk, antlers from various animals) , too cool. Thank you Buffalo Roam Tours and BIG THANKS to Connie! read more

We toured Yellowstone Park with James, and the Grand Tetons with Tony two days later. Both parks are magnificently different and we couldn't have asked for better weather on either day. This allowed our keen-eyed and informative guides to provide us a close look and detailed discussion into the terrain, habitats and wonders of each park. More importantly, the small-group tour method ensured our quick and efficient arrival and departure from each attraction within the parks. This allowed us time to more fully enjoy every stop along the way rather than dwell on the effort getting to or from there. Also, the size of our tour van afforded ready access to areas where larger tour vehicles are unlikely to venture, which provided us additional opportunities to see bison, moose, elk, deer, a fox and raptors of all kinds including a beautiful bald eagle. We hoped to see a wolf, but had to settle for a grizzly bear at the tree line!!! read more

I wanted to leave a review for Matt and team for a fantastic trip. I am totally blind, and Matt took his time to share of his expertise. I was part of a travel group of sighted and blind. Matt and his team took care of every aspect of the tour from food, lodging, guides, and personal touches. I am so impressed with this company's expertise. While in Yellowstone, we visited many different areas and was able to experience many childhood scenes. If I ever make it out there again, I will look them up again. I felt like I was with family due to the care the staff took. I just wish I would have more opportunities to spend time with Matt. Our group was split between two vans. Our van was guided by Al on the first part of our tour, and he is very good and friendly. I am very impressed with Al's knowledge. I was sad to learn that he was unable to go with us to Yellowstone. Once again Matt, thank you for such a wonderful tour. read more

We went on 2 tours with Matt from Buffalo Roam. First he took us on an outstanding full day lower loop tour in Yellowstone. Matt has a lot of knowledge of the geological aspects of Yellowstone which he shared with us, so we learned and had fun. We also say lots of bison while driving around. Second, he took us on a day tour of the Grand Tetons. Matt is a conservationist and has extensive knowledge about the wildlife and their habitats. We visited in the wrong time of year to see bears and wolves but we lucked into seeing a male elk on the side of the road right next to our van, which was awesome. We also saw bison, pronghorn antelope, eagles, a coyote, and different species of birds. Matt took us into Jackson for a delicious lunch and pointed out the highlights for us to come back and visit the next day. All in all, Matt treated us to 2 wonderful days in nature! Thanks Matt and Buffalo Roam! read more

We were happy that we booked the Yellowstone tour with Buffalo Roam Tours. Matt called to verify our online booking and gave us information about how to layer our clothes for the September weather. Tony picked us up at our hotel and showed us all the highlights of the park. He continually gave us information about geothermals and the park. Tony would stop for photos, and was never in a rush. Except when it came to opening the van door--he was right there every time to open the sliding door. We never could have seen as much in one day on our own. Tony also knew where to park, eat, and where to view Old Faithful to avoid the crowds. What an amazing day! We also went on Grand Teton tour with Al as guide. Again, great information about the park. We then returned the next day to hike on our own around Jenny Lake. read more

We had a perfect day with Frank of Buffalo Roam Tours, exploring Yellowstone Park. There were 8 of us, including 4 kiddos from ages 7-11. The van was great, Frank was so knowledgeable, making the day fly by with his great narration and fun facts. He took us to off-the-beaten path landmarks within the park - so we skipped busy parking lots, lines, and lots of people. Felt like we had the perfect private tour. Time was spent enjoying the beauty of the park, rather than waiting in long lines for a photo opp. We had a lovely private picnic lunch by the water - it was a great time for our kids to stretch their legs. Would highly recommend Buffalo Roam Tours and Frank. Their communication leading up to our trip was excellent, as well. Will definitely rebook on our next trip to WY. read more

We came to Jackson Hole specifically to see the wildlife. We booked a tour with Buffalo Roam tours and could not have been more delighted. Matt, our tour guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and knew where to find the animals. Matt picked us up at our hotel promptly at 7:00. He took the time to talk with us to determine what we wanted to see before we left. Matt made us feel that he cared about us and wanted to be sure that we would have a great experience. And we did. As for the tour itself, the van was clean and comfort. He provided binoculars, a viewing scope, and a nice selection of snacks and drinks. He also is great at spotting all the wildlife, and gave of all the time we needed to view and photograph the animals and scenery. Overall a remarkable experience. read more

Tony with Buffalo Roam Tours took us on an adventure of a lifetime last week through the Grand Teton National Park. What a pleasure it was for us to spend the day with such a nice, courteous, intelligent young man who is so passionate about the area. We took two Buffalo Roam Tours while there and we highly recommend them. We were escorted to some of the most spectacular places and the vans were very comfy. We would have missed so much had we not had our guides. Tony was absolutely the best and although we didnt have the pleasure of meeting Matt, we spoke with him by phone several times and his guides speak very highly of him and his wife who own the company. Don't miss this opportunity! Jan and Korey, Texas. read more

We used Buffalo Roam for a 1-day tour of Yellowstone for our large family (10 adults, 10 kids) and they were fantastic! They planned a great route for us that hit all the highlights with plenty of wildlife (and excellent bathroom stops for the kids). Steven expertly fielded questions from 3-10 year olds as well as adults for a full 8 hours. He was very well informed and we found the tour entertaining and educational! Mike was an excellent driver and did a great job getting us to the sights while avoiding the parking lot traffic and he was great at spotting wildlife. The bus we had was perfect for our group. Highly recommend this organization! read more

Our family of 4 went on an all day trip through Yellowstone with our guide, Tony, this past summer. He was amazing! He was very personable and shared lots of wonderful knowledge that both the kids and parents enjoyed. Tony was great at catering the trip to our interests while making sure that we saw a little bit of everything. From a mama bear teaching her cubs to forage, to letting our son use his scope to watch grizzlies in the distance to a couple of beautiful hikes that were just the right length for our daughter, we had the perfect day. We would highly recommend Buffalo Roam tours and would give Tony 10 stars if we could! read more

My family and I recently did a tour of Yellowstone with Buffalo Roam Tours and absolutely loved it. Our guide, Karyn, was knowledgable about the history of Grand Teton and Yellowstone, the wild life, the vegetation, and more. The vehicle was very comfortable and had big windows that allowed us to really enjoy the views. The day was planned incredibly well -- a mix of driving, stopping at outlooks, brief hikes and a lunch -- all customized to the needs of our group. I would highly recommend Buffalo Roam Tours to anyone visiting the area and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again on a future trip! read more

We just completed two different tours with Buffalo Roam and were extremely pleased. We did a Teton Tour with Al and spent four days and three nights on a private tour with Steven. We could not have had a better more enjoyable trip! It was our first trip to Yellowstone, and we feel by choosing this way to go, we saw much more than we would have if we had driven ourselves. Our two guides were so knowledgeable and professional! Not only did we see, but we learned so much! The owner, Matt, was so easy to contact and work with. Thank you guys for the trip of a lifetime! read more

From booking to tour day everything was handled with care and experience. Matt was so knowledgeable about the animals and the eco systems in the park but not over whelming. We were lucky enough to see a grizzly bear, bison, plenty of elk, and moose too. We had lunch at Dornan's which was perfect! One of our group got very ill. So, while we had lunch Matt drove them back to the hotel. Top notch all around. I would definitely recommend Buffalo Roam tours for any up coming trips to the area. Thanks so much for making my birthday week so special. read more

Buffalo Roam Tours company and our guide Steven were the best. The tour company listened to our requests for the tour, provided lunch, water, drinks and snacks - and as many bathroom breaks as we needed. Steven was so very knowledgeable and fun to have as a guide. He truly loves his job. He provided binoculars for everyone and used his high powered scope to help us spot bear and wolves. We also saw fox, elk, bison and deer. The three day tour was just perfect. You couldn't find a better company or guide to take you through Yellowstone and the Tetons. read more

This trip was so amazing! Al and Matt, our tour guides, were full of interesting stories, information, and knew where the best places to view and photograph the animals and the jaw dropping scenery. We saw a great gray owl, buffalo, elk, grizzly and so much more. The waterfalls alone are breathtaking. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat and have recommended it to all of our friends. It was my sisters birthday celebration trip and Buffalo Roam Tours made it fun, enjoyable and unforgettable. read more

Exceptional for both tours Grand Tetons & Yellowstone. Could not have asked for more! Informative, answered any and all questions with detail. New the answers to questions presented. Would highly recommend for anyone considering to visit this area. Matt even had recommendations for things to do on our own time and discussed in detail how to get there. Had great equipment for us to see even if it was at a distance. Didn't hesitate to pull over for a great photo opportunity. Many Thanks! Ken & Lyn read more

We had THE most fabulous and memorable day visiting Yellowstone with Matt, owner of Buffalo Roam Tours. Eleven hours together and it flew by as we toured the lower loop In Yellowstone. Matt's enthusiasm and knowledge covered every aspect of the park - geology, flora and fauna, history - you name it and he knew It, in detail! We had just one day to visit Yellowstone and there could not have been a more efficient and more enjoyable way than to spend our day under the guidance of Buffalo Roam Tours. read more
