We had a fantastic day with our tour guide Phil who was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and just fun to be around! The super size SUV was comfortable with drinks and snacks included. We learned so much about the area and other tidbits from Phil on our way to Glacier national Park😁. We did the boat ride on Lake McDonald and then had lunch at the lodge which was terrific. We drove to Polebridge which was another fantastic stop! You must buy some huckleberry baked goods at this location…I would highly recommend this tour for any family!A great way to spend your first day in the area! Our group ranged from 18 to 67 and we all had a great time. Our guide shared great insights to the area & its various histories. It’s customizable so we changed it up to meet our interests.

A great way to spend your first day in the area! Our group ranged from 18 to 67 and we all had a great time. Our guide shared great insights to the area & its various histories. It’s customizable so we changed it up to meet our interests. We had opportunities to stop for food, photo apps, and explorations. We topped it off with a hike with a wonderful view.Our guide, Carl, was a great guy! The tour was good. It was a private tour so maybe a little input into the itinerary would’ve been nice.

Our guide, Carl, was a great guy! The tour was good. It was a private tour so maybe a little input into the itinerary would’ve been nice. I think we would’ve passed on the dam and preferred a little more time in the park. Maybe a short hike in the park? We would’ve done lunch earlier so a different order of events? The lunch at Polebridge was delicious but we didn’t get there until just after 1:00p. They had both hot and cold sandwiches and the pastries were sooooo good!! We didn’t have a GTSR pass so this was our way in. Knowing what I know now I’d have gone to Lake McDonald on our own after 4pm and driven ourselves to Polebridge. That being said, it’s a good option if you’d prefer not to be on your own!We just returned home from 4 days in Whitefish.

We just returned home from 4 days in Whitefish. The highlight of our trip was a seven hour driving tour with Whitefish Outfitters. Our guide Maddie did an amazing job. She was extremely knowledgeable and flexible with the schedule. We stopped at the Hungry Horse Dam, The Lodge at Lake McDonald, Apgar Village and Polebridge. Plus we stopped another 4 or 5 times for great views and photo ops. The day flew by! Thank you Maddie.Andy Bell was an amazing guide. We were a group of 7 active women, ages 52 - 70 and we unanimously agreed he did a fabulous job of putting together a fantastic day of hiking. Knowledgeable about the area -- geology and history -- he was personable with fantastic stories. Highly recommend!
