We were very impressed with the tour guide and the tour. Zach took his time at every stop to explain everything thoroughly.

I can't recommend this tour enough! We had such a great time. Zac and Brian were so knowledgeable, enjoyable, fun, and chill. We really enjoyed learning about the history of the park and Estes Park. We even saw 3 moose!

This was a wonderful tour. No little thing was unaddressed. The snacks and drinks were a wonderful plus. The owners were so kind and polite. It is a tour I will recommend.

Wow, what a great tour! Zac was our guide, and he is so entertaining and knowledgable about the parks history as well as the plant and animal life. Great amenities on the van as well. Honestly one of the best tours I have been on.

Excellent guide! He was knowledgeable, accommodating and a good driver. The jeep was fully stalked with snacks and beverages. It was nice not having to worry about driving, parking or getting into the park.

Awesome! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband, two kids (ages 10 & 7) and I went on the tour in mid October. We had a great time! Zac was very knowledgeable, allowed us time to stop, and pointed out animals. It was a cooler day so the glass top stayed closed however it was awesome to be able to look up and see out vs only able to look out a window. Snacks and drinks were provided before and on the bus which was very nice to have. We highly recommended!!

Went on the four hour tour with family on Oct. 9, 2023. Our tour guide Zach was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the area and spoke confidently of the animal life and flora of the park! The vehicle was comfortable and well supplied with snacks and drinks. the top was open for a good deal of the tour when temps allowed. I highly reccomend Purple Mountain Tours and would use them again in a heart beat. Thanks Zach for a great tour! Bob Johnson

If you want to tour the Rocky Mountain National Park without any worries you’ll miss the best sights, book this tour!!! First of all and most important, the bus has panoramic views because of the glass, retractable roof. It was chilly so we kept the roof closed. But for a summer trip it would be awesome to go with sides and roof retracted. The ride itself was smooth! This was a luxury ride stocked with a coffee machine, snacks and drinks. (And I’m not talking basic stuff, they had healthy options too) The bucket seats were super comfortable plus the phone jacks with provided chargers came in handy. Our guide, Zac, was full of historic info you wouldn’t get driving in alone. He also made extra stops if there was something unexpected to see, like animals, etc. There are lots of tours around… I looked at a lot, but if you want great views and comfort, use Purple Mountain Tour Company!

The owner Zac was incredibly knowledgeable about the topography, the animals, the season, and the history of RMNP! He knew where to stop for great views and photos. He answered our questions and was so friendly and funny. The retractable glass top and vehicle was the best! Seats were very comfortable. He had lots of snacks, drinks, charging cables, blankets and when we stopped at the top ( Alpine Visitor Center) he made us hot chocolate’s and coffee. We -all 9 of us had the best time. We would recommend anyone who wants to experience the park and all its beauty to book Purple Mountain Tour!
