The experience was unbelievable. Our guide David was amazing. He made sure that my girlfriend and I had the perfect experience. We started at sunrise and did not finish until 4pm. David wanted to ensure we did not miss anything within the tour. The quality of pictures are beautiful. This outfit did not disappoint. We will see you sooner than later. Thank you
Fabulous tour

We were so pleased with our tour and very surprised that we were able to go over the top on Fall River Road. The scenery and colors were just AMAZING! Our guide Mike had lots of information on the park that we hadn't heard before. He took us to an AWESOME place for lunch in Grand Lake and knew some of the best spots to see wildlife. We would highly recommend this tour it is worth EVERY penny!

Dave did such a great job. He has so much knowledge of the history of the park. We are very happy we got paired with him. He showed us beautiful areas of the park and helped me take great pictures. He didn't stop there. He told me that I could text him the rest of the trip here if I needed help with anything.
Great day!

Loved the scenery, history, photography tips, and company. Dave is very interesting, a fountain of information AND a great driver on these mountain roads. Little luck with wildlife this time but suggestions for finding them later in the evening were spot on! Thanks for a beautiful day!
