Simply a very nice tour and great guide, Wesley. I highly recommend this tour
My wife and I had only a few days to explore Estes Park and the Rocky Mountains National Park. Our guide Chris was excellent. He gave a nice entertaining mix of humor, history and science in one tour. Very engaging and hospitable. He was sensitive to everyone’s needs stopping at numerous short walks to special sites that included rest rooms. This is the best venue to see the amazing scope and breathtaking views of the park! I highly recommend!
The best way to see the park. Great price and fun in the van. Admission to the park was included in tour price.
We went on an afternoon tour with Dave on a family trip with 7/16 of our group. Dave was both fascinating and informative about everything from mountain ecology, geography, biology, to hiking and agriculture in Colorado. This was an amazing experience that you should partake in, if visiting Estes Park and the Rockies!!! Especially to avoid driving the one way roads and switchbacks! We even stopped and saw a mule deer and Moose!!
Wonderful way to see the Rocky Mountains! This way we both got to see everything! Our tour guide, Brian, was great! He had so much information to share. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Dave was a superb guide, full of fun information, and Awesome music!! Thankyou for an amazing tour for me and my girls.
