Amazing.

Site to visit, absolutely if you are around. Currently we have been able to see the site from afar because there is the administrative shutdown and therefore all national parks that depend on the state are closed. However, you can ride with your car in some corners and admire the scenery.

Our tour to Mesa Verde will get ten out of ten stars. We were pick up by Neil in Durango in his bus where he had provided for us with snacks and drinks. He is so knowledgeable about the pueblo people and the native culture in the area. We feel that this day will bring many memories. All that is aready written of good things about Neil is true.

We had the best time with Neil! He was super knowledgeable and had loads of snacks and water for us and was able to show us so many different places in Mesa Verde that we would have never seen if we went by ourselves. The Cliffside tour that was included was phenomenal. Neil even shared a sweet surprise with all of us at the very end which was much appreciated and sent us photos he took along the way! Highly recommend this adventure!

Fantastic experience. Super easy check-in, great communication prior, Wes was a spectacular guide. He thoroughly knows his stuff, but is quick to say he does not know an answer, to a question., very personable. The ride to and back was very comfortable. He dropped us off right where we needed to meet up with the National Park ranger for the tour at Cliff Palace and was right there at the end of the tour. Wes and the ranger gave us a rounded understanding of this incredible community of indigenous people. Well worth the money.
