Yellowstone Step On Guides
local expert step-on guides for commercial busses
We do offer local expert step-on guides for commercial busses traveling through the area. Because of insurance reasons, we do not offer step-on guides for private, non-commercial vehicles. Step-on guides are available from Bozeman, Big Sky, and West Yellowstone only. Guides being dropped off at a different location than the starting point will be charged an additional $100 to $200 per day. You will have up to 8 hours per day.
Your guide will be a wealth of knowledge, from the park’s history, geology, flora and fauna, hot spring biology, and more. Our expert guides at Yellowstone Tour Guides have driven buses before and are able to guide your driver through Yellowstone’s busiest areas. Because of the logistics and increased traffic, we will no longer be able to pick up or drop off guides at Lake, Canyon, Mammoth, West Thumb, the South Entrance, or East Entrance.
