Rushmore, animals at Custer State Park, and got to explore the Wind Caves. We were hooked on the audio guide (including our kids) and loved our drives through the park.

Real Testimonials

Hi Matt and Cheryl, We just returned from our two week trip out west. A large portion of which (5 days) we spent in Yellowstone National Park. Prior to our trip we were blessed during our planning and research to run upon your Youtube videos. We watched and we were so impressed with all the information and tips you provided. So we went to your website and purchased the itinerary for Yellowstone. No doubt your itinerary helped us have the most incredible and enjoyable visit possible. We followed it for each day and area and we used the fifth day of our visit for sort of a clean up. Your audio portion was so enjoyable as we drove down the road and listened while viewing God's beautiful creation. We love history and the stories and information was so helpful and interesting. The itinerary was worth every penny. My advice to anyone is to not visit Yellowstone without it. I would like to thank you all for making this wonderful tool available so families can get the most out of their Yellowstone experience. God Bless, Dave and Lesa Watson

Matt & Cheryl, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to THANK YOU both. Your detailed itinerary and audio guide of Yellowstone made our short trip AMAZING! My husband was extremely impressed at how efficiently we were able to see 'everything.' It was like we had this secret plan that no one else knew about! 😉 We were able to to cover all four 'days', and even sneak down to the Grand Tetons in THREE days total! (We also made it to all 5 entrances!) We wouldn't have even known where to begin, if it wasn't for you two. Again, we thank you for your research, time, and knowledge of such a magical place. We will definitely be back for more guides in the future.  Sincerely & happy travels, Dana 🙂  Ps- We initially found one of your YouTube videos on Yellowstone, when we first started researching for our trip. I had done a full 24 hours of research prior to coming across your channel, and felt more confused than anything. Your video & website saved us!

I thought the itineraries were very well done. I appreciated the background and order they gave to our trip. The maps in the itinerary were very helpful in my day planning. The itinerary did a nice job keeping our daily flow/logistics efficient. I like how they broke it down into days that made sense, with themes which I really liked. WE LOVED THE AUDIO GUIDES!! They're not too long, not too short. They were perectly placed during the days. Great spark for the day! Great reading voice, super cool historical stories. The audio guides were a 10 out of 10 in our opinion! In summary, we are BIG FANS.

...it would have been worthwhile at twice the price. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to plan our trip nearly as effectively as we did. The itinerary let us know what we could reasonably see in the four days we had in the park and helped us organize our time efficiently. Because of the Schoss Guide, we got to see Old Faithful go off twice! I should point out that neither Matt nor Cheryl asked me to write this testimonial. I offered to write it off my own bat when we returned home because their itinerary was such a great help to us. I’m one of those people who always buys three guidebooks for every trip and I’d easily have traded any two of them for the Schoss itinerary. It helped us get the most out of what will be for us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Do yourself a favor. Make the most of your time. Get the Schoss Guide.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the amazing and comprehensive guide to Yellowstone! We were able to follow your plan and did almost everything on the 4 day plan in THREE days by combining some things in the upper loop. We couldn’t have seen so much without your awesome guide and loved the audio as well. And, of course, we fell in love with Yellowstone! Thanks again!!

Matt and Cheryl, we just returned from Yellowstone and I wanted to be sure to tell you that the itinerary and audio downloads were fantastic. We followed the itinerary to the letter and it was a huge relief not to have to do all the research and reinvent the wheel. It was enough to deal with food and children and new to us pop up camper J We all especially enjoyed the audios, and the kids (14 and 9) even requested we listen to a few over again (poor Truman Everts). It’s obvious you both put a lot of time and attention into the guide and as a “planner type” personality I REALLY appreciated reaping the benefits of your work. Plus, it was very accessible and well laid out- much less intimidating than buying an entire book with too many options. I’m a big fan of your work and we’ll be using your itinerary’s again in the future! Next year: Tetons. Thanks again, you were a part of making our adventure great!

Just getting back from our visit to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. This trip would have been very challenging without the use of your guide and YouTube videos. Your recommendations for what to see and the times it took to view them was extremely useful. Our whole family enjoyed the audio clips and stories. Our boys found them fascinating and added to the learning experience. We used your must sees early on the way into the park and the optional ones on the way back out. It worked perfectly! We always got rockstar parking. Who gets front row parking at Old Faithful and arrives 10 mins before it erupts! AWESOME. Without the guide, we would’ve missed Grand Prismatic's beauty. We took advantage of recommended picnic spots and roadside attractions. So fun! Thank you again! Would highly recommend and WORTH THE PRICE.

“Hi Matt & Cheryl, We live in the Chicagoland area and planned a road trip from here to Sioux Falls, Keystone, Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons. For our trip, I purchased each of your itineraries for the Black Hills, Yellowstone, and The Grand Tetons. These were amazing and the best purchase we could have ever made for our trip. Thanks for your passion and putting these together for people to purchase and use.”

    Excellent guide! We just came back from the Black Hills. We followed your itinerary. We went there to see Mt. Rushmore but fell inlove with the Black Hills. We love the little towns. Thank you so much!

  2. Jess Phillips (verified owner) –

    We loved this guide of the Black Hills. It took all of the guess work out of our vacation and made our vacation more relaxing. I really liked the audio guides. They really made the historical sites come to life. I will definitely use the other guides for our next trip west.
