5.00Darren was a wonderful tour guide. He was very friendly and gave lots of history on the tour. He waited patiently for those that were slower to navigate and he also took lots of pictures of the family.
Highly recommend this tour!!

5.00Our tour with Purple Points Tour Company was an absolute highlight! Our guide Brian was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts about the park's history and wildlife, and kept the entire group entertained. The tour bus itself was a great bonus, with a nice retractable roof that came in handy more than once to keep us comfortable. I can't recommend this tour highly enough—it's a truly unforgettable way to experience the beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park.
