5.00We took our tour with Dave B. in July. I have a 6, 16, and 18 yo and ALL had a fabulous time. I’m so glad he drove because he knew where we were going, had the entry pass to get us in and we could just enjoy the views. Weather changes constantly there and we had a hail storm that he drove through. And, Dave is just incredibly interesting and has lots of NFL connections for football fans. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00Alan was a very knowledgeable, patient and experienced guide. We visited water falls, lakes, trails and key Rocky Mountain National Park sites. He was very flexible to our group needs and capabilities. We gave this tour 5 stars even though we had to use our own vehicle & gas and park entry pass. Taking this into consideration, a per vehicle price would have been more appropriate.
Experienced so much of the park in one day!

5.00Mike was amazing! His love for the Rockies was evident and his experiences flowed right thru to us. His animal science background gave us many insights into the animals in the park and their habits. He had many visuals to share- now I want to come back and see the Rockies in color, spring when see the babies are coming. We would have never truly "seen" the Rockies without Mike. Thank you!
