What are people saying about Estes Park

Betsy_B, Jun 2026

Best way to see the park!

There were 9 of us in a open air jeep. We were taken to various points of interest in the park our guide, Pete, was very knowledgeable and drove safely in the park. The scenery was spectacular! Pete was very patient when some of us wanted to hike to 12.004 feet which made us a little late. This is the way to see the park! A very memorable experience!

Amy_C, Jun 2026

Best introduction to the Rockies

This Tour was amazing. The retractable roof made it an unforgettable experience even better. There was water, pop, snacks and even hot chocolate that our tour guide Wesley made for us when we were at the top and it was a little cold. It was the best way to get a taste of what your are able to see in the park!

Happy Anniversary to us.

Chris, the tour guide, along with his partner - sorry, we forgot his name - but you were awesome with the dad jokes! We know you didn't have control over the wait into the park - other than that, 5 out of 5 jalapenos! You made our 28th anniversary a truly memorable experience especially with the wildlife sightings of moose, elk, tmarmot, and pika. Lewis is still asking where's the Bear LOL

The Premier Wildlife Tours in Rocky Mountain National Park

Darren_L, Jun 2026

Perfect day seeing the wildlife and the great views of RMNP

Chadd was a great guide showing us the wildlife of RMNP. He was a wealth of information about the park and wildlife. Big horned sheep, moose, pika, marmot, elk and deer along with numerous birds were all seen on our day together. Chadd was very friendly and great to converse with as we drove through the park. Highly, highly recommend spending a day with Chadd - you will learn a lot and have a fun time.

Sunrise Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park

Jill_E, Jun 2026

Priceless!

Don’t hesitate to book this tour. It’s well worth every penny. We got so much more out of the trip, than just seeing the sunrise, which was amazing. Bruce is so knowledgeable about the environment, park history, eco system and just a nice man. And he gave us advice on trails. My husband and I completely enjoyed our tour of the beautiful RMP.

Estes Private Guide

Hands down the best experience and knowledgeable guide in Estes! Even one of the volunteers at one of the turn outs in the park was very impressed at his knowledge! I'm not a fit gal and in her 50s, we went for a little walk to see a waterfall, Riley was thoughtful and kind and kept a walking pace that was comfortable for all. Riley, had a spotting scope that he would bring out several times and we could see wildlife way on the other side on another mountain. My husband and I had such a great time, we would book this company again! We also got some awesome pictures! And Riley, also offered to take pictures of my husband and I and got some really great pictures!

Bear Lake Road Rocky Mountain National Park Private Tour

Laurie_H, Jun 2026

We're so glad we booked with Rocky Guides!

Brandon from Rocky Guides goes above and beyond to give you a tour customized to your needs and interests! It was our first time in RMNP (hopefully not our last), and Brandon not only showed us so much that we would have surely missed on our own, but he also gave us so much information and tips to make the rest of our visit the best it could be. Brandon also had everything we could have needed, like binoculars, trekking poles, snacks and beverages, and more! Our favorite thing about the tour was his knowledge of everything related to the national park. As fellow nature lovers, we were so impressed with his expertise in so many fields such as the geology, glaciers, butterflies, birds, and the plants and animals. Even the history of the park and what makes it so special! Book with Rocky Guides, they are absolutely the best!

Our tour guide was...

Our tour guide was fantastic from start to finish. Their knowledge was impressive and really added depth to the experience. They were friendly and easy to be around, which made the whole trip more enjoyable. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, and the personal recommendations they shared were genuinely useful, the kind of tips you wouldn’t find on your own. We took much of their advice and were glad we did. Highly recommend!

Private and Personalized Three Hour Morning Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park

Kevin_E, Jun 2026

Excellent tour

Looking for something to do, so booked this trip the night before. Picked up at our hotel on time. Vehicle was roomy, quiet and clean. Guide, Bruce, was very knowledgeable. Took us around the park avoiding areas that another booked trip would take us. This was by far the best tours we had during our stay in Estes Park.

Thrilling Rock'n Roller Coaster Tour (Wildside 4x4 Tours)

Kerrie_K, Oct 2025

Exhilarating and picturesque

The "off road" experience is exhilarating! The views are breath taking! There is rock climbing, bumps that will lift you off your seat and speed. The tour guide does check in with you to make sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying the tour. There are stops along the way with opportunity to take photos, restroom break, and complimentary snacks and water. I highly recommend Joe as your tour guide!

Estes Park Guided E-Bike Tour

Carley_G, Oct 2025

Highly recommend!!

Our girl group had the BEST time on our tour with Pam! We felt she had the perfect balance of fun and info, the bikes were great and the route was awesome! She stopped for elk, photo ops, to give us a heads up on road situations, and of course to give us info on the route highlights. Water being provided was a bonus. Would absolutely recommend Pam and this tour!!!!!! One of the most fun parts of our trip for sure!
