What are people saying about Estes Park

Chris_L, May 2026

Amazing Rocky Mountain Experience with an Outstanding Guide

We had an amazing experience on the Retractable Glass Top Tour in Rocky Mountain National Park. Our guide, Wesley, truly made the trip memorable. He shared so much knowledge about the park’s history, botany, wildlife, and fun local side stories that kept the tour interesting the entire time. We started the tour with the glass top open, which was beautiful, but after the 27.5 inches of snow the day before, it was definitely chilly! We appreciated being able to close the top at our first stop and stay comfortable while still enjoying the incredible views. One thing that really impressed us was all of the thoughtful extras included at no additional cost. They had bottled water, Coke products, hot chocolate, and even freshly brewed coffee made right in the vehicle. They also provided hiking sticks, which were incredibly helpful on the icy trails. Wesley’s personality and enthusiasm made the tour so enjoyable. Beyond the park itself, he shared recommendations for his favorite local restaurants and interesting information about the Stanley Hotel, which added even more to the experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park. It was informative, comfortable, fun, and absolutely worth it!

We had an absolutely amazing time on our tour, thanks to our guide, Leo. Leo was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. My partner and I had a wonderful time. We took a trip for our birthdays, and Leo surprised us with a dessert on our hike. It was the kindest gesture. We will be talking about this hike for the rest of our lives. Thank you to the tour group and Leo for being so awesome!

Such a great experience!...

Such a great experience! Our tour guide was great and we saw so many areas that we would not have seen if we did it ourselves. We saw a moose, mule deer, elk, and we really enjoyed our time. It was a good day and the heaters were on by our feet, they had blankets and got a hot cocoa. Highly recommend!

Great value for RMNP personal tour!

This was a fantastic way to visit RMNP for the first time. Bruce shared so many interesting facts and showed us around incredibly beautiful sites. There’s no way I could have navigated this area for the first time on my own, and Bruce was such a pleasure to be with for the afternoon. I highly recommend this for first time visitors as well as repeat visitors!! There’s no way you won’t learn something interesting from Bruce!

Can't say enough good things about Leo. He made this experience exponentially better if we were to go in to the park on our own. He showed us how to get around the park and make the most of the time we had together, and there were things he showed us that my wife and I were nerding out on.
