5.00Wesley, our tour guide, made this the most fun adventure we had on our vacation. He was just the right mix of knowledge, fun and humor. Music playlist was epic. Driving skills were spot on. We loved every minute of it.
Just relax.

5.00Decided to travel from Wisconsin to Estes Park for our anniversary and added this tour to our trip. The check in was easy, despite parking in Estes Park being on occasion a bit challenging. The retractable glass vehicle was wonderful and provided great views everywhere. Brian our guide was pleasant, easy to understand, knowledgeable, and took his time and attentive to all his guests. We saw elk, moose, and spectacular views. Finally, if you are thinking about driving into this park on your own, let BRIAN DO IT. The roads are narrow, the cliffs steep and if you are the driver you will see nothing because 100% of your attention is to the 10 feet in front of you and the thousands of feet to your side, if you drop off the narrow road.
You want to go!

5.00Purple Points Touring was great! We had Wesley as our guide, who was fantastic. He knew so much about RMNP, the plants, animals, etc. This was our second tour in one week with Purple Points, each with a different guide, and with different family members, lol. Each tour was a bit different, it was excellent!
Great views and guide
