Spend $15 and download the GuideALong (Gypsy) app with the Yellowstone Tour. It uses GPS and tells you about everything as you approach. Travel unencumbered by a bus schedule. See what you want, learn a lot along the way. Most of Yellowstone is a big figure 8 set of roads. Not a lot of options on where you drive.

Agree. Took one bus tour and didn’t like it at all.

IMO, Yellowstone is more interesting than pretty. I much preferred Teton. I say that because a bus tour may stop at a lot of places I’d want to skip and/or stay there longer than I’d like.

Don’t get me wrong, parts of Yellowstone are beautiful.

I love those tours. They’ve helped me enjoy my national park trips so much more. Make sure you keep your phone plugged in to charge while using it though. I think maybe the constant gps mixed with no cell signal and Bluetooth audio use drains your phone.

I can’t recommend these tours enough.
