What an amazing tour!! We had Rod as our special guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the park. We thoroughly enjoy having him navigate us throughout RMNP. We saw great views and tons of animals. We would definitely recommend this trip and having Rod as your leader.

We have started taking tours of National Parks on the first day of our visit then spend the following day(s) seeing what we liked from Day 1 at our leisure. Bruce was our tour guide and he was superb: low key, funny, unbelievably knowledgeable- he answered every single question we had. And what was REALLY neat, the first 15 minutes was a visit to some old-timer’s old house with arguably the best view in all of Estes Park! This was followed by two other old timer places outside of the Park. Thus, we had a good lay of the Park’s rich History way before entering. We knew we were in good hands when the Park Ranger (Nina) warmly greeted Bruce by name and thanked him for his article on the Park’s history in the local paper- Neat! Bruce made our RMNP trip special!

Bruce is an informal naturalist, local historian and all around Estes enthusiast. Let him know your interests and he'll get you there! You're bound to leave your tour with more knowledge and more amazing pictures than you could have imagined. It was a great afternoon.

Bruce was super friendly and led a lovely afternoon at the Rocky Mt Park. He was very knowledgeable about the park and its wild life and was accommodating. Really enjoyed our afternoon with him. He even went out of his way to reconnect with us afterwards as I accidentally left a personal item in his car. Highly recommend this tour!

Bruce was so knowledgeable and professional. Not to say FUN! He customized the trip to our needs and acted as our private photographer as well. This was money well spent! I highly recommend!

Our family was able to work with Bruce to customize a tour that was exactly perfect for our interests, capabilities, and the season. Bruce was extremely knowledgeable about the state of various areas of the park, the communities around the park, conservation efforts and wildlife within the park. Our party included a person who can have anxiety on mountain roads, and Bruce was very accommodating by providing some warnings and ultimately making everyone feel safe and have an enjoyable trip. We chose a relatively full day of activities, and Bruce easily filled early morning until late afternoon with a bit of everything that we hoped to see. Highly recommended!

Bruce picked us up on time and took us all around the area of Estes Park and then some. It was very cold the day of our tour and windy. There was some road closures in the park areas because of snow. Because of this, we got to go into different areas that he normally doesn't take people. We had just arrived at Estes Park that morning so we did receive the full tour of everything around us. He talked to us about the hikes we intended to do and gave us some great tips on wearing spikes and hikes that were spectacular to see. He also took us around the town and showed us different things to do if the wind persisted. Great tour and such great knowledge of the area and especially the agricultural environment and animals. Loved listening to Bruce and loved the tour. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting from out of town. We got it all!!!
