The trip was awesome. It covered all the areas as stated. Yellowstone was incredible with geysers, mountains, rivers, springs and wildlife. Grant Teton, jackson hole, Buffalo bill dam were spectacular. Mount Rushmore, devil's tower are really sights to watch. The tour guide Roger and driver Gerry did great job to make the tour memorable for us.

Diana guide is sooo experienced! I liked her style. Not only exhaustive tour for that money, but it was much exhausting as well... I would not recommend it for elderly or children maybe (4 days for 3000km). Overall, all the parks are amazeballs!
