What To Expect
Mesa Verde National Park
As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi-day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below
Balcony House
Located on the Cliff Palace Loop, Balcony House is one of the more adventurous of the cliff house tours as it requires climbing multiple ladders and even squeezing through tight passageways. The best non-tour view of Balcony House is from the Soda Creek Overlook Trail, also located on the Cliff Palace Loop Road. To see inside Balcony House, you must have a ticket for the Ranger-guided tour.

5.00We loved the self guided tour through Mesa Verde National Park. The app was very easy to download and set up. The narrator was very informative, had a great sense of humor, and the cost was very reasonable. We were amazed at how the GPS worked in the app and would pick up right where we left off no matter where we were inI look forward to other self guided tours in the future.the park.

Personal Guide through Mesa Verde
C8943FDrichards,Oct 8, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The program was like having a personal guide. it guided us and gave great descriptions of where we were heading and what we were going to see. it even made suggestions based on our amount of time we had to spend in Mesa Verde. The program followed our GPS location with no issues. We only spent one day in the park but if we had more time we could have spent another day viewing other areas that we did not see. It was a great experience seeing all the Pueblo areas. The staff was so friendly. the crowds were not bad since we visited in October.
