5.00Fantastic tour! I was in town solo for work and wanted to do some hiking, so booked the tour. Ben was my guide and he created such a great day seeing Rocky Mountain National Park, telling us about the area, and also seeing The Stanley Hotel and Estes Park. The van was comfy and I met some nice people on the tour. The price was well worth it.
Amazing day at the park!

5.00Rocky Mountain National Park is my first national park visit, so it is special! National park was amazing, I believe it is beautiful in every season. Tour was great, however I felt like we haven't been to all the places that were given in the itinerary. No matter what, it is a well spent day, spotted some wildlife and gorgeous Rocky Mountains. Ben is great, he had provided clear and informative explanations throughout the tour.
Great Experience

5.00What an amazing day. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to see the Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. I’ve lived here in Denver for nearly 9 years and have driven most places myself but this adventure definitely allowed me to sit back relax and enjoy all the scenes. Eric are tour guide was very friendly, helpful, and informative. I learned quite a few things that I really didn’t know. We enjoyed short, hikes, beautiful waterfalls, amazing views, and even ran into some elk and mule deer. The small group was very easy to enjoy the day and the very comfortable and warm tour bus was a safe Haven getting in from out of the snowy weather we had while in the mountains. Stopping for lunch and free time to explore the Stanley Hotel and Estes Park. Great! I highly recommend the tour whether you’re a local or a visitor it’s a great way to experience the beauty we live in every day.
Perfect day in Rocky Mountain National Park

5.00We took the full day tour with Hans and from the moment we got into the van he went above and beyond. His level of service and attention made our tour that much more enjoyable. Even when my wife fell through the ice on the lake with her one boot and socks completely soaked he made sure we were able to dry everything out between stops. Hans really made our trip very special and his extensive knowledge of the area made us enjoy it even more. This was our 19th national park and first with a guide and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. Thank you so much!!
Best time in denver
