Bozeman Tours and Trips

The trip far exceeded our expectations. We got to see so much of Yellowstone without being rushed from one site to another. Our wonderful guide , Scott Smiley, was the best!! Friendly , informative , flexible and generous !! Our bus driver , Mike Wilhelm , was careful, courteous , and pleasant. The accommodations were top notch. We will definitely be recommending Insight Vacations to friends and family.

An amazing tour that hits all the high points of Yellowstone's stunning natural beauty, as well as some hidden gems. Our guide, Scott Smiley, was warm, friendly, funny and well-informed. There are full days, and walking, but nothing over a mile, and trails and boardwalks are easy to manage. Park food is not the best (not Insight's fault), but there are many good meals scheduled outside the park. A wonderful vacation/tour for a family of six adults. We decompressed for an extra night in Jackson Hole at the end and were glad we did.

We saw the main attractions of the park such as Old Faithful and the Grand Prismatic, as well as many other thermals. Our guide, Scott Smiley, also located more than 200 bison and other wildlife. Also saw lots of beautiful landscapes. I felt like we got the whole picture of the park.

This was our 3rd Insight Vacation tour and it did not disappoint. On all three, what made the difference was our tour directors. For Yellowstone Discovery , Scott Smiley was excellent. Very knowledgeable of Yellowstone history and able to communicate it in a concise, interesting and engaging format. Our rides between destinations were never boring but also allowed for adequate quiet/rest time. I liked the fact that we were in the Park the whole time and that we had 2 nights at each destination. Accommodations at the Lodges were clean, comfortable and basic. Don’t expect a TV or AC You don’t need it-just open your windows and enjoy nature. The additional expert speakers were great. Another plus is the comfort of the coaches-great leg room and very competent driver. From visiting hot springs, geysers to waterfalls and surprise animal sightings along the road, this was a wonderful way for us to see a beautiful part of America. Thank you and will use Insight again!

The trip was absolutely wonderful! It was so nice to kick back and relax and let someone else do all the planning and daily coordination! The coach was extremely comfortable and well equipped with outlets for each seat and a restroom, although we were asked to try to avoid using it, if at all possible, for our own comfort. We did make frequent breaks, but it was nice to have this option if needed. The lodging in the park was not like the high-end accommodations we’ve had on other INSIGHT trips, but we were told that they opted for location over amenities. The rooms were OK, but be prepared for sparse and/or unreliable Wi-Fi, especially in Grant Village, no TV, no AC, and smaller bathrooms. But I must say, staying in the park was quite nice. The food at the Canyon Village was cafeteria like, definitely room for improvement. However, the food at the Grant Village main restaurant was quite good. The day-to-day excursions were beautiful and well planned. The days would start early and typically end by about 4 to 430. It would’ve been nice to have a little more time at some of the stops, but we did have a busy agenda. I would’ve liked a little more time at Old Faithful as there was a lot to explore on your own. Since we had such a short time at the Tetons, so we decided to extend trip on our own, and we enjoyed an extra day in Jackson, All in all, it was a wonderful trip and I would highly recommend!

My family loved this trip packed full of sights but still had time to ourselves to rest and explore. Meals included with tour were great. Our dietary restrictions were followed. Tour guide Robert was fun and educated us on the area as we went. Our bus driver Mike safely navigated us through traffic and the mountains. I highly recommend this tour of Yellowstone and the Tetons!
