Ahh such a great experience! We did Grand Teton and YellowStone National park. Both camping and Glamping! The parks themselves are just breathtaking and can be a bit overwhelming when choosing what and when to see stuff. Our tour guide was Kelsi! She was so knowledge about the parks, the history, some of the wildlife and a great guide throughout. She made everything seemless and such a beeze to enjoy. We were able to do quite a few hikes and have really nice wildlife spottings. Looking forward to booking another trip with goodtrip and hopefully have Kelsi as a guide again !

10/10, 5 stars, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Our trip to Yellowstone/ Grand Teton National Parks was truly incredible! Our guides Victoria and Bailee went above and beyond. The outings were tailored to our needs as a group, the food was amazing and accommodating and the experience in a group was well planned and organized so that everyone had a great time. This was the trip of a lifetime and we can't say enough good things about Good Trip Adventures <3

I had an absolutely amazing time in Yellowstone & Grand Teton! I would highly recommend Good Trip Adventures. All details were accounted for and we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Our guides, Kimberly and Alex, were phenomenal and a dynamic team. I felt so comfortable with the fellow group members and I feel this is due to Kimberly and Alex and the fun and safe environment they fostered during the trip. Can’t wait to book the next adventure! :)

I just spent one of the best week's of my life hiking/camping in Grand Teton and Yellowstone Nat'l Park with 6 other women guided by Megan and Anna. It's not possible to completely express the joy and ease to meet 6 strangers and by the end, the bond was incredible. Megan, our trip leader, is the ultimate pro. She managed every minute so well. Prepared and served unbelievable meals (at our campsite!), took great care of each one in the group. Megan was incredibly attentive of all of our needs. Her personality, wit, knowledge during this trip was/is so much more than expected and it was evident that this is her passion! Anna was the frosting on the cake LOL! There could not have been a brighter smile anywhere and her knowledge of nature was/is outstanding. It was a pure joy to learn so much about the environment we were in! Trust me, this is the standard every other trip should be modeled after! THANK YOU MEGAN AND ANNA!!
