We had the best time on our tour through the Rocky Mountain National Park! With Brandon as our driver and tour-guide, we were lucky to see and learn so much about the park. This is considered a private tour, and it was! Just my husband and I with our guide Brandon. What a fantastic way to spend the day and avoid the crowds (as much as possible). We saw, mountains, meadows, willows, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, trees, flowers, historical sites, squirrels, chipmunks, deer and a MOOSE. Brandon was well educated and communicated his vast knowledge and love for the area. The vehicle was comfortable, climate-controlled and well stocked with both snacks and a variety of beverages. I must mention that Kerry was FANTASTIC too. I ended up communicating with Kerry multiple times prior to our trip. She was kind and accommodating (even when I nearly messed up our reservation entirely). Kerry was also helpful with answering many questions not related to our tour, but in relation to our general stay in Estes Park. I HIGHLY recommend this company and this tour. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much for the glowing review of your time with Rocky Guides! We love being able to customize experiences for people and are so happy you had a great day. -- Kerry & Brandon
Brandon from Rocky Guides goes above and beyond to give you a tour customized to your needs and interests! It was our first time in RMNP (hopefully not our last), and Brandon not only showed us so much that we would have surely missed on our own, but he also gave us so much information and tips to make the rest of our visit the best it could be. Brandon also had everything we could have needed, like binoculars, trekking poles, snacks and beverages, and more! Our favorite thing about the tour was his knowledge of everything related to the national park. As fellow nature lovers, we were so impressed with his expertise in so many fields such as the geology, glaciers, butterflies, birds, and the plants and animals. Even the history of the park and what makes it so special! Book with Rocky Guides, they are absolutely the best!
Thank you, Laurie! We love connecting with people who love to go deep and learn about this place we respect and enjoy so much. Thank you again for booking with Rocky Guides!
My Fiancé and I had an Incredible time with Brandon on the National Park Tour. He was one of the most passionate and knowledgeable guides I’ve ever had and it easily felt like making a lifelong friend instead of a business transaction. Can’t wait to go again!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Brandon! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour. Looking forward to next time!
This is an easy , stress free and fun way to see the park! I highly recommend you do it day one so you have an idea where you will want to go if/ when you go back into the park. Brandon is knowledgeable and a joy to talk to. He personalizes your tour so see you all the things you want to! We came on a girls trip and he made it a blast! The car is comfortable and clean with all the amenities to make you feel total VIP!!! I highly recommend the tour company!!!
Thank you, Kori! We really appreciate your feedback and are so happy the tour was great for your girls trip!
Branden was an amazing, nice, very knowledgeable, and generous tour guide. Had a blast!
Thank you so much for enjoying Rocky with us!
Brandon, a local outdoorsman (hiking, skiing, biking etc) picked us up from our cabin and took us on a great four hour tour. His SUV was well appointed with water and snacks. Brandon’s education in geology and forestry was a plus as we discussed the parks features. He also shared the history of the park and the surrounding areas. We saw Elk, deer, trout and other wildlife. He took abundant pictures. He is a nice guy and a great tour guide. I would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for sharing, Karen! We appreciate your kind words and for touring with Rocky Guides!
Brandon was amazing! His knowledge on a wide variety of topics was impressive, and we loved how he tailored the tour to our interests and fine-tuned it based on things that came up in our conversation along the way. Turns out I only THOUGHT I knew a fair amount about RMNP.
Going on an RMNP deep dive with Brandon is always fun and educational! Thank you so much for spending time with Rocky Guides on your visit!
Our guide, Brandon, was phenomenal! He customized the tour to our interests and even added to it based on things that came up in our conversation. He was thoroughly knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, and we learned much.
Thank you so much for touring with us! It is amazing when we can match visitors up with just the right experience.
Brandon is very knowledgable about the Rocky Mountain NP. He is an excellent guide and made it a very fun 1/2 day of learning. He was kind enough to give me spots on the map to take my wife the following day. She was unable to go on the tour due to a bout of altitude sickness. She was recovered enough the next day to enjoy the park and special places he had mapped out. I was able to get her to the Top and visit the Tundra. Thank you Brandon.
You're welcome, Brian! So glad to hear that your wife had the opportunity to see the park! Thank you again for touring with us.
Brandon was very informative sharing so much knowledge about the park and all the animals, trees, plants etc!! Awesome tour guide!!
Thank you so much for sharing about your tour with Rocky Guides! Brandon never disappoints! :)
