Custom Guided Tours
While the options for guided tours in Yellowstone National Park are varied enough to accommodate almost everyone's interests, concessioner Xanterra Parks & Resorts, provider of narrated themed tours in the park, also offers custom tours that incorporate individual tour planning directly with the guest.
To Xanterra, the 'perfect tour' is the one that the visitor wants and then Xanterra delivers. Their guides will be the first to tell you that visitors who are enthusiastic about what they want to see and learn are the first step toward a great park experience.
Xanterra's interpretive department will take the time to call the customer directly to discuss the focus, expectations and subsequently, the specific itinerary of the tour. The guide and visitors can focus on topics such as history, wildlife, geology, thermal features, wildflowers, birds, photographic scenery or hiking. Once the visitors are in the park, the guides will pick up and return them to their lodging location.
The cost of the service includes a knowledgeable Interpretive Guide operating either a four-passenger auto, 12-passenger van, ADA-accessible van, 1930's era 13-passenger Old Yellow Bus or a 36-passenger motorcoach. Custom tours are also available by boat on Yellowstone Lake.
Xanterra's guides undergo extensive training and are expected to be well-versed in a wide range of park-related topics. They lead tours throughout the park on a regular basis. Among those scheduled tours are Beartooth Alpine Adventure, Washburn Expedition, Lamar Valley Expedition, Yellowstone In A Day, Teton Vista Rendezvous, Circle of Fire, Yellowstone Lake "Historic" Sunset Tour by 1937 Touring Bus, Picture Perfect Photo Safari, Firehole Basin Adventure and Historic Walking Tour of Old Faithful Inn.
