5.00My wife and I took three Colorado tours in three days, and this was by far our favorite. Our guide, Phil, was easily the best guide we had out of all of the tours.

5.00Totally enjoyable trip seeing mountains, sheep, elk, mule deer and wild turkeys. Planned route was blocked due to controlled burnings but our guide Phil did a great job alternating to Bear Lake which turned into a very picturesque walk with plenty of photo ops. Enjoyable day trip that I would recommend. Had 12 people but van ride was very comfortable.
Highly Recommend this Tour (and Phil!)

5.00My wife and I did three Colorado tours in three days, each with a different tour group and guide. Phil from Colorado Sightseer was our absolute favorite guide, and this was the best tour of our trip. He had to adjust the itinerary due to controlled burns at the park, but we loved the changes that he made.
Flawless trip and top tour guide

5.00Fantastic day out with a very gifted tour guide, Stephen, who looked after all his guests with care and respect. The tour is well put together and goes through amazing sights. Pick-up and drop-off at Union Station were timely. Would recommend 100%, though wish the van had a glass roof!
Great introduction to Rocky Mountain National Park

5.00I'm so glad glad I joined this tour rather than driving myself to the park. The guide was prompt, fun, knowledgeable, and new exactly what to show us. Getting to the park early meant the stops were uncrowded and no waiting in car lines.
Nice tour, contact with nature

5.00The experience was very pleasant. Our guide, Ben Stevens, was very punctual, attentive and told us about history, nature and current affairs. We saw an elk very close and low speed so we could take pictures of him. Spectacular! The bus was very comfortable.
Alex was our tour guide...

5.00Alex was our tour guide and he was amazing! Tour was as advertised and almost better. Alex was very knowledgeable and made sure we all got the full experience by even pulling over so we could get pics of Elk that were grazing nearby. He was prompt. For our first experience of Colorado- it was an excellent adventure.
Great solo traveler experience

5.00I was in Denver for a conference and couldn’t be this far from the national park and not go. It was a perfect way to see the park when you want to see it but don’t have much time to devote to it. The tour guide Alex really knew what he was doing and we went to some of the main areas and there was no one around.
Wonderful experience

5.00It was a wonderful trip. Our tour guide Michelle was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! She kept explaining things to us and answering our questions all the way. It was a bit of a pity that we didn't see much snow, but the scenery and the experience were great overall.
Best tour with the best guide, Michelle!
