Alex was an engaging and informative guide who made our cloudy, snowy tour a fun and exciting adventure. Although I wish the weather had been more cooperative, this was a great tour, well worth the cost.

100% recommend this tour and company. If you’re on the fence take this as the sign to book this tour or any others with this company. I will 100% be booking with them again on our next visit over!! Our guide was Alex and he was amazing. So knowledgeable and honestly taught us so much about the area and the park. He was funny and also added in another lake because we had some time and asked some questions about it! He and this company are amazing.

This was a brilliant day out in the Rocky Mountains. Will was an engaging, extremely knowledgeable and informative guide and we saw some spectacular scenery and wildlife, including elk and moose. All in all a terrific day tour from Denver - highly recommended.

karen m

Had a wonderful time on this Rocky’s full day tour! Hit some of the best outlooks in the park with plenty of time for pics and stretching your legs, Estes park and the Stanley was another highlight but the all experience was so easy, pleasant and flawless! Our tour guide Will was awesome, informative, funny, professional, he really made the day! We booked a last min trip to Denver and really didn’t have time to research so this tour was perfect! Highly recommended!

lollokaren

Wonderful tour! Highly recommended! Hit some of the best outlooks in the Park, time to stretch yr legs and take pics, Estes Park was another cool spot, including the infamous Stanley Museum! Well organized and Will, our tour guide, was just great! Informative, funny, professional! I would definitely do it again!

We had a great time on this tour, spending our last day in the Denver area seeing the beautiful nature and wildlife. We did the tour a bit out of order, but it didn’t matter. Our guide took us to the all the places on the itinerary, but we noticed that we didn’t pass through UC Boulder on the way, nor was that mentioned at all, which we regret a bit because it would have been interesting to see Pearl Street and the campus. The only other suggestion we would make is that the stay in Estes Park was very short. By the time we finished lunch, we only had enough time to quickly go up to the cabin ruins and use the restroom. More like 2-3 hours in town would have been nice to see some shops too. Otherwise, all the stops we went to were so scenic and breathtaking. We also appreciated getting a nice half hour at the Stanley hotel!
