Dream day in the Rockies!

5.00I took this tour as a solo traveler and absolutely loved every minute of it. Visiting Rocky Mountain National Park had been a dream of mine, and this experience exceeded my expectations. Even though the weather was quite cloudy, our guide made sure we stopped at the best locations for breathtaking photos of the mountains. We also visited a charming mountain town that was absolutely beautiful and worth exploring. What really stood out was how attentive and knowledgeable our guide was. He was always making sure everyone stayed hydrated, had snacks, and felt comfortable throughout the day. Everything was very well organized and punctual. On top of that, he shared many fascinating facts and stories about Denver, the Rockies, and the places we visited, which made the trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Denver, especially if you want to experience the beauty of the Rockies without worrying about transportation or planning. A wonderful experience from start to finish! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wanna see Moose, Fox & Fish???

5.00We got our entry time online & brought layers of clothing since the temperature change was a lot that day. The shuttle was easy & there was handicap parking & restrooms. We walked slowly taking in all the wildlife before resting a bit. This is an easy day or a challenging day, depending on how much you want to walk, hike, climb or drive around in a car. We looked for moose all morning & finally about lunchtime we saw a young one drinking water. We didn’t have any trouble breathing in the higher elevation-I brought my inhalers just in case. It’s a must see trip I’ll forever be happy we did. When we got back to our Airbnb…a moose was walking across our driveway casually munching on some long grass!

5.00Our tour guide, Anne, was great! She was knowledgeable in the history of CO and the area of the National Park we were going to be in. She brought us to some beautiful locations and allowed us time out of the van to explore and have photos taken. All fees were covered by the purchase price of the ticket. The meet-up location ar Union Station was perfect. If you are on the fence about it, I would highly recommend booking this tour!
Great tour wonderful day

5.00First trip to Denver and visit to Rocky Mountain National Park. The park was beautiful and Alex our guide for the day was outstanding. He explained so much as we traveled to the park, through the park and then lunch at Estes Park. We saw elk, and moose and the views were spectacular. The tour was so much more interesting having a guide to explain so much and not having to drive ourselves through the mountains. Highly recommend this tour.
