5.00Aaron is easily one of the best tour guides i've ever had! He was so knowledgeable about everything from history to geology to culture I felt like I came away from this tour knowing so much about Denver, the area, and of course about Rocky Mountains National Park. We had the perfect amount of time in each area and he let us know ahead of time what we were doing and that we didn't have to do anything if we didn't want to. Aaron fostered a great environment for the group to get to know each other and feel comfortable. He stopped a bunch of times for us to take pictures of a bunch of mule deer and elk and even try to follow a bald eagle! I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
Great overview of the park

5.00Excellent guide & great scenery. We saw Elk, deer, turkey, ewe - just couldn't find a moose. Small amount of walking at stops was perfect.
A great day in the Rocky Mountains

5.00It was a great tour and a very good opportunity in a day to see a lot of the area and the Rocky Mountains. Personally, I would have liked to have had more time at the stops. But that wasn't inside in time. Our guide Rico did a great job. He has imparted to us in a very sympathetic way, a lot of knowledge about the area and the Rockies
Denver to Rocky Mountains!

5.00My daughter and I had a great time visiting the Rocky Mountains for the day. Our guide, Brennon, was very knowledgeable and provided information and advice well beyond a typical guide. He was also very attentive with the senior members of the group. We lucked out on beautiful weather, spectacular scenery, no crowds, and animal sightings.
