Leo was wonderful he prepared a great day for my son & I. We had to pivot because my son got altitude sickness. He came up with an amazing day for us. Found stuff my 14 year old would enjoy doing and not complain. Would recommend if you don’t know the area and want a wonderful experience.

Perfect afternoon!

This tour was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and very accommodating to everyone in the group. Because no one had set plans they had to be back for, he stopped at extra places along the way and really took time to add personal touches. Because of this the tour extended to about 5 hours, which was totally awesome! This was a top notch experience. And, as a solo traveler I felt completely comfortable the entire time. My only suggestion is to bring along snacks. Water was provided but I got a little hungry by the end. I would absolutely book this tour again!

About 4 hours with multiple stops throughout the tour. And our driver Aaron was the best! Very highly recommend!! And we loved the retractable top on the tour vehicle!

Guide C.E. was INCREDIBLE. Knowledge, humor, mountain driving skills were all 10/10! He was incredibly interactive with the two teenagers in the group as well and we all know how difficult it can be to impress teens. My daughter loved the tour!

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.

No better way to experience the Rockies

I’ve been to the Rockies 4 times, but never experienced it the same way with Brad and Win as our guides. They really know the history of the park and where the wild life will be because they have been there and done that. A truly personal and delightful time!

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!
