We booked the Casanova Yellowstone Upper Loop Wildlife Tour. We hoped to see some animals. The tour far exceeded our expectations! Our private guide, Brian Burrus, was the best guide I have ever experienced. He was personable, knowledgeable, answered all our questiions, and was an obvious nature lover. And he went out of his way to show us what we asked to see.
Within 15 minutes of our 6am departure, our road was blocked by a bison herd, complete with babies. The entire herd walked past us - many within 5 feet of both sides of our vehicle. A photographer's dream! As we continued on toward Lamar Valley, our guide was constantly on the lookout for wildlife. He would spot an animal we never saw, pull off the road, show us where it was, and help us to photograph it. He also took videos and pictures himself which he emailed to us later.
We saw more wildlife than I ever imagined. There were 2 black bear sightings, one with 2 cubs. 3 young badgers. Four different wolf sightings. Several pronghorn antelope. Elk. A mountain goat clinging to a rock side. A Rocky Mountain sheep with her lamb running around. A pair of cranes with babies. A huge osprey nest with osprey in it. Many other birds. And hundreds of bison. He also pulled over for us to photograph the beautiful scenery. And finally, at the end of the tour, he even backtracked on his own to try to find a cell phone we left behind.
We could not give this tour and Brian, our guide any higher recommendation. It was our dream come true.

Jackson our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the environment and wildlife. Very sweet young man. Answered all our questions and was very informative. His animal spotting abilities were phenomenal. We would definitely request him again and would recommend him to others who wanted to see Yellowstone. He truly had an uncanny ability in spotting wildlife. We saw bears, bison, osprey, mountain goats, elk, pronghorn and wolves with cubs. We even named a black yearling wolf cub, Jackson, after him. And it was a bonus that our tour was private. We had a great time!

Our tour of the Upper Loop was customized by Tauni to meet the needs of our group. We were 6 "seniors," 2 having mobility issues, and she set us up with Jack. He was as knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating as the numerous positive reviews we'd read online. It was a great day, and he patiently scouted areas, "glassing" as he referred to it, for wildlife amidst the beautiful mountains and valleys of the Upper Loop. Jack provided us with a plethora of information and background on whatever we were viewing or visiting. The sights were breathtaking and the animas plentiful. An absolutely wonderful day with a young man whose passion for wildlife, the environment and nature is contagious.

Jack was our guide & he was a delightful young man. He has so much knowledge of the areas & is very good at sharing that info. We didn't see as many animals as we were hoping for, but we sure learned a whole lot of new & interesting things. He also told us where & what we might see on our own. He also drove us to some of the things we had not seen yet which saved us a trip later.

We are a family of 8; 5 adults and 3 children (10, 11 and 13) who had a fantastic8 hour Wildlife Tour with Casanova. Our guide, Jack, was very Knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife and he provided a very enjoyable narrative the 8 hours we spent together. We saw a mama grizzly with two cubs, moose, elk and hundreds of bison. It was a great trip and we highly recommend Casanova Wildlife Tours.

We shared a perfect trip on the Upper Loop with Kyle. (Coincidentally, he was also our guide last year.) Kyle has an incredible knowledge of the park, the animals, and the plant life, and freely shared it with us. And we saw some amazing sights. It was exactly what we asked for!

We did a morning private wildlife tour with Isaac and it was AWESOME. We saw so many amazing animals - bison, bears, a fox, mountain goats, marmots and more. Isaac was really a wonderful host - he worked with us to tailor the tour to what we were interested in, told us endless fun stories, and really made the whole thing so fun. I'd highly, highly recommend Casanova Tours and will go out with them again in the future if we return to Yellowstone.

Words can’t even do this tour justice. Jackson was our guide and what an amazing young man. He showed us 4 Grizzlies, several black bear, elk, eagles, horned sheep, osprey and the
crown jewel 10 of the Junction Butte wolf pack trying to take down a bison calf. Nature! Jackson is great!!! His love of nature and fly fishing is contagious. Tawny, the owner of Casanova tours is also top notch. Check out the wolf video on their website!!! I only have videos and pictures on a camera. Do not miss this tour and go early!!!

Our guide was Jackson (ask for him) and his knowledge of the area is astounding. He knew all the places in the park where wildlife is usually spotted and went out of his way to cater to our requests. He arrived promptly at 6:00 am while it was still dark and offered us an array of snacks as well as water and soft drinks before we got started. He knew the latest on where wolves, bear and elk had been seen and we spent the day moving from place to place in hopes of seeing something new for us. We saw elk, pronghorn, and bison (they tend to be everywhere in the park). The bear and wolves eluded us even though we were able to access the slough creek area and 6 miles of the Lamar Valley that isn't open to the public. We stopped for lunch which had been prepared with our likes/dislikes in mind. When all known wildlife locations were exhausted Jackson took us to parts of the park we hadn't seen and has a wealth of information about all of the land formations, geothermal features and the history of the park. When our day was over he returned us to our meeting location. Would definitely do this again.

Our guide was Jackson, and he was thoroughly knowledgeable regarding all aspects of the park. Breakfast was modest but sufficient (prepackaged products like granola) and soft drinks. Restrooms are widely spaced in the park but he was helpful in planning for those needs. He had binoculars for us as well a professional scope to zoom in on wildlife opportunities. Lunch was fresh sandwiches and other snacks and the spot he chose for our repast was so scenic and pleasant. We stopped whenever we saw a wildlife viewing opportunity. We saw elk, bison, pronghorns, mule deer, and a peregrine falcon. This was a great experience - we highly recommend it.
