    Beautiful views in the park

    My first time visiting Montana & my friends recommended this tour. What an epic fun day. You don't drive so you can look around. Plus your driver (mine was Doug) will tell you all about the park, animals, the road, the buses. You won't be disappointed!

    We toured GNP on the Red Bus Tour last week. The bus has a top that can be opened so you can see the mountains and the sky as you are driving up the mountain. They provide wool blankets should it be chilly. What an amazing tour! Our guide was Jay and he was excellent! Jay was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the park. He spoke for over 3 hours straight! We stopped at several places along the drive and Jay provided great information about the spot and time for pictures. Our tour was about 3 1/2 hours but you can choose to go longer. Bring a water bottle and snacks. There were plenty of restroom stops along the way. We did not see much wildlife but did see a few deer. Make a reservation ahead of time prior to your park visit. There were long lines of people purchasing tickets for the tour. We had reservations so there was only a 5 minute wait time while they pulled the bus around. There are gift shops and restaurants available after the tour. I would definitely recommend the Red Bus Tour to help get an overview of the park on your first day. It was very educational.

    We took the eight hour tour with Mike from East Glacier National Park hotel. It started out as a smoky day which we knew could lessen some of the viewing advantage points but my review is more about Mike the driver. He actually mentioned that he hadn't done the tour in years and we could tell when he didn't want to answer a question he pretended he did not hear us. Overall he was pretty condescending. He would not stop at any of the signs for the park for photos from the big red bus. The views were very nice but his attitude really wrecked our trip. We asked if we could stop at the continental divide for a photo and he said no we have a schedule. Our schedule was already blown because we waited an extra 15 minutes for folks who never showed up. We saw other tours that started before us who spent much more time at the visitor center that was not allowed for us. We had 10 minutes. We booked our tour through Amtrak thinking that we would get an excellent tour and we're very disappointed.

    Such a great experience taking the Red Bus Tour with Josh. He was so helpful and knew so much about the park. Truly a delight. We did the 3 hour tour from Lake McDonald and loved every minute of it. Thanks!

    The Red Bus Tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Glacier National Park. Spoiler alert: we saw a bear! We weren't expecting to see a bear but we saw it on the way to Logan Pass and it passed our bus and crawled down the steep mountain. These historic red buses were refurbished and is a comfortable way to traverse the Going To The Sun Road. We had traveled up to Lake McDonald Lodge to pick up the bus and it takes you to Logan Pass and back. The buses have an open roll-top and three bench seats (four to a seat). We sat in the last row which is a little cramped because of the wheels but I also didn't mind because in front of us was a storage compartment that separated us from the next row. Our driver Ron was a fun character. I don't know if drivers are required to dress in uniform but he looked the part of a "jammer" from the 30s with hat and elaborate facial hair. He certainly kept us entertained throughout the 2.5 hour tour, giving us all the tea on Glacier. This is an amazing drive and we could enjoy it with an expert driver. The views are simply awe-inspiring and the commentary adds flavor. The icing on the cake was getting to see a bear. Getting a few moments to see this beautiful animal then watching it proceed on its way into the mountain below was special. Book a spot in advance because these tours sell out. When you book you are warned to arrive 30 minutes prior to departure and we made sure to leave plenty of time because the entrance to the park can be crowded. Even so, we ended up waiting on JILL, who did not show and another party was able to sub in. Glacier National Park is simply amazing and this tour allowed us to simply sit back and enjoy the view.

    I love historical places and Glaciers National Park is reach with history and filled of activities to enjoy. Red Bus Tour made our visit complete by taking my wife and I around the National park which they call tour of the continent. The experience was amazing, our driver and tour guide Ms Nori was magnificent. She gave us history lesson and stories, gave us tips to enjoy the park. Epic tour!

    Eagle Transit is a bus line that operates in the Flathead Valley of Montana…read more Eagle Transit "provides general public and para-transit services within Flathead County. All vehicles are ADA accessible and equipped with lifts. Most fares are $1.00 each way," according to their website. Eagle Transit operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 am-7:00 pm. However, routes vary in terms of days and hours of operation, so it's best to check their schedules to be sure. The transit service offers bus service in Kalispell, Whitefish and Columbia Falls. I was staying near the Kalispell Center Mall & wanted to ride around to see the sights and act just like a local. (This is always a high priority for me when I travel to a new place.) I jumped on the Whitefish Express (the Express bus costs $3) that ends up at the O'Shaughnessy Center, hung out for a spell, and then jumped right back on the return express bus to Kalispell. I kind of got a city tour for the price of a bus ride. But I had to deduct 1 YELP STAR due to the Kalispell to Glacier Park bus service not starting up until July! I want to go there now! Still I have to commend scenic, rustic Kalispell for having such great public transportation options like Eagle Transit.

I would not recommend booking the Honeymoon Suite. When we made our reservation, it was the only room available, so we took it. Having now seen the hotel in person, the price is very difficult to justify. The room itself is tiny, which we expected in a historic building and didn't mind. The issue is that it costs significantly more because it's described as having the best view. In reality, it's tucked around the side of the building. You can see the mountains, but the less expensive front-facing rooms actually have a much better view. The listing also advertises a private balcony. Technically there is a balcony, but it is shared with the neighboring room, and the other guests clearly weren't happy to have to share the space. Their dirty laundry was unlovely, hung to dry alongside the slim view. Also, do not dine here. If you're considering staying here, I'd recommend booking one of the standard front-facing rooms instead. Based on our experience, I would not recommend paying extra for the Honeymoon Suite.

I went to Glacier Grizzly Resort the day before and to confirm with the owner Daniel that the glamping tipi is available due to the bad reviews. Upon checking in (7/11) Daniel first told me that they had a "power outage" and I could not stay in the glamping tipi due to this. He went on and on that they will have the "power outage" fixed by tomorrow. By the end of the conversation he (the owner Daniel) told me that what actually happened is that they overbooked the glamping tipi and they did not have any tipis for me to stay in. They did offered me the camper that they rent at a "discounted" rate (even more than I was paying for the glamping tipi) BUT only for ONE night. When I refused to stay in something that I did not rent and demand a refund,he argued with me about refunding. He did not get or give me any information for refunding me and I never saw him again.

We booked ours in Feb based on their website that stated they were all new resort with camp store, laundry facilities, 50 amp hookups, ADA bath house. In the last month or so they updated their website to say they were still under construction. We had an RV site and 2 Glamping Tipis reserved, 10 people total. We contacted them the week before our scheduled arrival and Lori confirmed everything was good to go. (We had seen some recent reviews saying otherwise) We stopped by there the day before out arrival and met the owner Daniel, he told us to pick any spot we wanted when we come in, as some sites aren't complete yet, and that our Tipis were ready to go. The next morning we moved our rig there, set it up, and tried to check into our Tipis. 1. We have a 50 amp rig with 2 a/c and the pedestal was 30 amp. They told me they had built a 50 amp converter they would put on the pedestal to make sure I had 2 hot legs (They never did this, so no clue what the contraption was) 2. We were told Tipis now weren't ready yet, needed to be cleaned from previous night. I said that's fine, but asked for them to tell which ones were ours, due to it would be evening before we get back from the park. He said he would text it to me since we would be in park with no service, then I'd get the message when I got service again. 30 mins later I get a call from Lori because they were confused about the Tipis, but got that straightened out. Later that evening when we come out of the park, I get a text saying they overbooked and now don't have our tipis, but they'll put us in a basic tipis (no floor, water, electric, or actual beds) for small discount, an older used 5th wheel and new smaller TT for no discount, or refund the tipis and we can go elsewhere. Neither Daniel or Lori would answer our calls, so we canceled my Nephew's 18th bday dinner to go see what was going on. Daniel was actually in the campground when we got back (Usually no host, he just comes by randomly throughout the day). We discussed what had happened, he told me the electric was out in our tipis, so we couldn't stay in them, and they weren't overbooked. He eventually backed up and said they were overbooked after I told him I could see the lights on and people in the tipis. We told him we wanted full refund on 1 tipi because my SIL would stay with us, and asked for a discount for the hassle of staying in his rv 1 night, then having to packup next morning and haul it all day until he decided where to put us. He told me he wouldn't discuss it until tomorrow. From here it evolved into an argument between both of us that ended with him throwing his truck in gear, saying he's not talking about it anymore, as he peeled out and threw gravel all over my truck as he left. I later texted him and Lori both and told them both we wanted to take the full refund on both Tipis that they offered. We have yet to receive a response, though messages have been read, and Daniel never came back to talk to us the next evening. So we packed 10 people in camper our 2 nights there and have not got our refunds yet.
