Definitely recommend this audio tour. We listened to it as we were heading to our tour at Cliff Palace, which was an hour from the entrance to the Park on Rt 160. We learned so much. Don’t forget to grab some fry bread on the way back down!!

The Shaka tour was so amazing. Told us all the good places to stop and helped us find a beautiful hike we would have otherwise drove by.

The tour was amazing! Not only did we get incredible information about the wonders we were seeing at Mesa Verde, it included turn by turn directions! We were so impressed. This will not be our last Shaka tour. We’re already planning for them to help us navigate and experience Arches! We will be checking for tour availability whenever we travel!

Lots of good information. We would have missed stopping areas if it were not for the audio tour. The audio was paced with the actual location of the car.
