We're so glad we booked with Rocky Guides!

5.00Brandon from Rocky Guides goes above and beyond to give you a tour customized to your needs and interests! It was our first time in RMNP (hopefully not our last), and Brandon not only showed us so much that we would have surely missed on our own, but he also gave us so much information and tips to make the rest of our visit the best it could be. Brandon also had everything we could have needed, like binoculars, trekking poles, snacks and beverages, and more! Our favorite thing about the tour was his knowledge of everything related to the national park. As fellow nature lovers, we were so impressed with his expertise in so many fields such as the geology, glaciers, butterflies, birds, and the plants and animals. Even the history of the park and what makes it so special! Book with Rocky Guides, they are absolutely the best!
Insane amount of Knowledge and Passion

5.00My Fiancé and I had an Incredible time with Brandon on the National Park Tour. He was one of the most passionate and knowledgeable guides I’ve ever had and it easily felt like making a lifelong friend instead of a business transaction. Can’t wait to go again!
Highly Recommend!!!

5.00This is an easy , stress free and fun way to see the park! I highly recommend you do it day one so you have an idea where you will want to go if/ when you go back into the park. Brandon is knowledgeable and a joy to talk to. He personalizes your tour so see you all the things you want to! We came on a girls trip and he made it a blast! The car is comfortable and clean with all the amenities to make you feel total VIP!!! I highly recommend the tour company!!!

5.00Brandon, a local outdoorsman (hiking, skiing, biking etc) picked us up from our cabin and took us on a great four hour tour. His SUV was well appointed with water and snacks. Brandon’s education in geology and forestry was a plus as we discussed the parks features. He also shared the history of the park and the surrounding areas. We saw Elk, deer, trout and other wildlife. He took abundant pictures. He is a nice guy and a great tour guide. I would highly recommend.
Awesome tour...awesome guide!

5.00Brandon was amazing! His knowledge on a wide variety of topics was impressive, and we loved how he tailored the tour to our interests and fine-tuned it based on things that came up in our conversation along the way. Turns out I only THOUGHT I knew a fair amount about RMNP.
Awesome tour that Brandon customized as we went!

5.00Our guide, Brandon, was phenomenal! He customized the tour to our interests and even added to it based on things that came up in our conversation. He was thoroughly knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, and we learned much.

5.00Brandon is very knowledgable about the Rocky Mountain NP. He is an excellent guide and made it a very fun 1/2 day of learning. He was kind enough to give me spots on the map to take my wife the following day. She was unable to go on the tour due to a bout of altitude sickness. She was recovered enough the next day to enjoy the park and special places he had mapped out. I was able to get her to the Top and visit the Tundra. Thank you Brandon.
Fun day with Brandon! Highly recommend him for your ne t tour!
