Spectacular view of History by an expert Archeologist. We had a private tour lead by Denise. She lead a superb tour tailored to our interest and abilities.

This trip out west was to check off some bucket list items after my retirement. This tour to Mesa Verde was amazing. Denise picked us up at our Hotel in Durango and the journey into the past began immediately.She was such a wealth of knowledge about the ancient Puebloan people, their culture, lifestyles, and the architectural style of their building. She drove us almost to the clouds and lead us on paths to the remnants of their homes and temples on the mesa tops. She lead us to the edge and hooked us up with a Ranger guided tour into the heart of a magnificently preserved village clinging to the face of a protected overhang. My mind still reels at the thought of how these people not only lived here but how they actually built all of these multi level buildings.
Denise also has vast knowledge of the local geography and how these mountains and valleys were formed. She is a very gifted speaker and teacher and we had a wonderful time checking off this bucket list item.

Our Paleontologist guide Denise was wonderful. Her expertise provided us with the history and life style of the Puebloans, the geological formations, vegetations of the Mesa Verde area, and the amazing cliff dwellings. She was not only professional, but also courteous, patiently answering all our questions. She is also a safe driver. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would not hesitate to recommend this tour to friends and family

Great experience with excellent customer service. We were contacted in advance of our tour so that we knew what to expect and to answer any questions. Our guide, Denise, was superb. She was highly informed about the history and geology of the area and had previously performed archeological field work. Her prior fieldwork experience added that something extra to the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.
