Sightseeing during Winter

3.00We have been booked to the sightseeing tour as the hiking tour was not having minimum persons required. The sightseeing tour was ‘okayish’, we spent 15 mins in Trail Ridge Road, 45 mins in Sprauge Lake, 1h30min in estes park downtown and remaining time was spent in bus. As I booked Hiking Tour and the day was clear, my expectation was that they will take us to bear lake or atleast one more lake. Our guide ‘Jeff’ was very helpful and kind and overall it was an average experience.

3.00It would be better if Travelers are able to choose upon booking as to which trail they want to go for a hike. The hike during our tour was great but the destination was not what we expected and therefore we were disappointed. The guide was amazing and very considerate, but maybe we just expected too much. We thought we would be going to bear lake and other beautiful spots but we ended up in a secluded cub lake that's not really scenic. And we were informed about the trail destination on the day of the tour. So we didn't really had a choice. It was a great day and there could have been much better spots than the one we had. Everything else was fun and great.
perfect tour

5.00The tour was perfectly organized by the guide, including lunch, snacks, and breaks. All the participants were calm and friendly. Although we couldn’t find moose, this tour made my day.
Beautiful day in the mountains

5.00Jerry was a fabulous guide. We saw autumn colors, elk, prairie dogs, bald eagles, (and horsies and doggies) and of course the breathtaking mountains. Expensive but if you only have a day, and don’t have a car, well worth it.
Perfect tour for a solo traveler

5.00Brennon was an amazing guide who taught us so much about Colorado, the Rockies, hiking, and wildlife safety. I was a little scared to book this since I'm not a very experienced hiker, but Brennon took us on a hike that was suitable for everyone in our group. And not to mention beautiful!Then we drove through the rockies and saw some amazing fall colors and wildlife. 10/10 experience. I will likely do this again!
Excellent way to see Rocky Mountain National Park!

5.00I am 69 and my husband is 71 and we took this tour. We were a little apprehensive because we didn’t know how strenuous it would be. Our tour guide was so helpful and assed all his passengers and the hike was amazing! I wouldn’t change today for anything. It was exactly what we needed! We are sore but we are happy!
Experience the Rocky Mountains.

5.00The hike is beautiful and most fitness levels can achieve it. We even had a beautiful wildlife experience. Seeing the elk heard and hearing the bugling in the memory for a lifetime. Our guide was knowledgeable, fun, and met the needs of all the participants.
