We had a group of 8, four couples, who had never met each other and we had the best time. You can't control wildlife, so you never know what you'll see or experience, but this was by far the best money we spent in Jackson and Yellowstone. Kyle knew an unbelievable amount about the animals, plants, birds, etc and was great at spotting and helping us see everything with binoculars and the scope. It's like going to summer camp with a counselor--Kyle drove, handled food, rest stops and making sure the group got along. And we did! It was literally so much fun. Our group had an 80 year old couple and couples in their 30s, and he balanced the needs of the group so well. There's no way we could have seen everything in such an ideal order and schedule without Kyle. Super worth the money because it would've taken us 4-5 days to experience all the same things in our car. We saw bison, moose, elk, eagles, Old Faithful, two incredible waterfalls and a bunch of other cute animals. And when we forgot a jacket in the car, Kyle brought it back to our hotel after. If you are interested in Brushbuck, just call them- they helped us select the right tour based on our timing. I'd also just ask to do whatever Kyle B. is leading. We want to bring back our whole family to go on a tour with him!!! So much fun. Thanks Kyle! read less

We went on this tour towards the end of our week in YNP and Grand Teton. We had seen just about every animal in the park with the exception of a bear. So, I was nervous that it might be a bit underwhelming. That may have been the case if Neil wasn't so good at his job and so into nature. His knowledge and stories are what we will remember about this trip for years to come and his passion and energy was infectious. That said, we sure did see plenty of wildlife too. In fact, we even saw a bear! read less

It’s our first visit to the Tetons and we wanted to make sure we saw some wildlife while we were here. Kyle did not disappoint!!! Within the first 30 minutes of our full day tour he’d spotted a moose. We also saw elk, blue heron, pronghorn, white tailed deer, and bison. The highlight of our day was when he got us up close and personal during a bison traffic jam. They were right outside of our windows!!We also visited some well known spots in the park (Jenny Lake, Signal Mountain, and the Mormon homestead) and learned a ton of interesting history along the way. Kyle took us for our picnic lunch at the marina at Jackson Lake. It was perfect.We highly recommend BrushBuck Wildlife Tours. And be sure to request Kyle. He is entertaining and knowledgeable and really made the day special. My two teenagers are still talking about him and quoting him. read less

I'm only giving 4 stars as it wasn't a successful safari. After seeing antelope after antelope, I was a little bored, cold and tired of driving around for 4 hours. We did however learn a lot from Kenny who tried to stay positive and upbeat toward the end of the tour to keep us engaged. read less

Super knowledgeable and friendly, we had a great safari tour with her. She found tons of animals for us to see (the hunting osprey pair were an exciting find) and really provided our family with an incredible experience. We definitely recommend this tour group as well priced, clean and courteous. read less

There were 7 of us including my 2 1/2 year old. He enjoyed the higher up views of the sprinter van we rode in and all of the snacks provided. Jeff took us places in the Grand Teton National Park we had not seen yet. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and topography. We will be sure to book another tour. read less

My family of adults and seniors recently enjoyed a 12 hour Yellowstone tour from Jackson. Their descriptions and pre-tour instructions are easy and comprehensive, and anytime I had left a message, someone quickly responded. While they have their procedures in place, there is such a personalized touch to the whole experience. From pick up at your hotel, to the picnic lunch provided, the binoculars, and the guide's scope. The real value is all the "local secrets" and avoiding unnecessary traffic jams into parking lots. It's a big place, a long day, and you want to maximize the beauty of the sites and wildlife spotting. Jeff was our tour guide and he was 5 star. Jeff made the day so enjoyable, safe, and fun. His knowledge of the Park, ecosystems, wildlife and story telling were both informative as well as entertaining. The care he showed for our group was excellent service. I was impressed with his wild life spotting skills, and how quickly he would set up the scope to spot wildlife from far distances. Wonderful experience! Would highly recommend. Thank you for the memorial experience Jeff! read less

Austin, our guide, couldn't have been better - he held the energy all day, gave incredible insight, brought us to the best places, avoided most of the crowds and answered our million questions - he was the best! We also had a nice clean van for the tour. Highly recommend! read less

Our tour guide was Faith. Very young but very informative and knowledgeable. She was friendly, considerate, respectful and a lot of fun. We saw moose, elk up close, pronghorn deer, Great Blue Heron, red fox and bald eagle. Plenty of pictures, pit stops and espresso breaks! Highly recommend!! You will not be disappointed!! read less

We booked two vans for 3 families and Austin and Kelsey were our guides. I was in Austin's van so will review my experience with him (and must also note half of my family was in Kelsey's van and they had a stellar experience as well). Austin gave us a true 5 star experience. We got everything we signed up for and so much more. Austin is equal parts passionate and knowledgeable. He engaged everyone in our group, from age 4-40. The ride, lunch, sights, education, and experience was top notch, all the way!!! Thank you Austin and Kelsey!!! read less

We went on the 11 day Alaska trip and it far surpassed my expectations. Alaska’s majestic beauty, the abundance of wildlife as well as the aquatic life left us awestruck and the endless daylight all added to make this a spectacular trip. There are not enough words to say how awesome our guides were. Adam, Daniel & Captain Steve are so knowledgeable about not only the wildlife but the land and surrounding area also. They made sure we got to where we needed to be, rarely let us haul our own luggage, always had snacks & drinks with us and are all fun, great guys to be around. They can see wildlife miles ahead of the rest of us and I don’t think there was a day we went without seeing animals. All in all, if Alaska is on your wish/bucket list, this is the trip you need to take!!! read less

Kim was our guide and she was incredible, very personable, and knowledgeable about the area! We took the 5:00pm tour in early June and saw LOTS ( 11 different species) of wild life! We felt like we got up close and personal with moose (30 yards away) a black bear (70 yards away), as well as bull and cow elk. Thanks Kim for an unforgettable, amazing tour!! read less

This is not just spouting off facts and history, she truly knows the information and conveys it with enthusiasm and admiration for the animals and area. She was fun and experienced and has a lot of hobbies and interests involving the outdoors so she was able to related personal experience to what we were seeing which made it fun. It's obvious that this isn't just a job to her. The tour was amazing. We did the 12 hour tour of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. We saw 4 black bears, including two cubs, a heard of elf, many bison, a moose and 2 pronghorns. The geographical stops along the way were breathtaking and I felt like we saw everything I wanted to see. Plenty of restroom stops along the way. And a filling lunch along with snacks were provided. Be sure to bring 10-15% gratuity in cash, your guide deserves it! I highly recommend Brushbuck tours and we would definitely book with them again. read less

Our family of 5 learned so much with our tour guides. Amanda and Haeli were a pleasure and their knowledge of the Tetons and wildlife was great. We were able to view black bears, moose, elk, eagle, osprey and bison all in the time frame. The picnic lunch was very nice and filling. The views everywhere were just amazing. I highly recommend this tour experience. read less

The company made sure to confirm the meeting time and included directions to the pick up. We covered a great deal of ground in the dawn half day tour. I highly recommend - as the Grand Tetons are a whole other world and you can sit back and relax and enjoy. Caden and Jeff both know the wildlife and fauna and have very welcoming and thoughtful approaches. read less
