Fabulous tour

bruce_s, Jul 2025
Our guide was knowledgable in so many areas, the wildlife, mountains, the history of the park. Dave Barry brought his love and passion for this Park to our tour and made it a deeply satisfying and exciting adventure

Great guide. Worth the money!

We took our tour with Dave B. in July. I have a 6, 16, and 18 yo and ALL had a fabulous time. I’m so glad he drove because he knew where we were going, had the entry pass to get us in and we could just enjoy the views. Weather changes constantly there and we had a hail storm that he drove through. And, Dave is just incredibly interesting and has lots of NFL connections for football fans. I highly recommend this tour.

Alan was a very knowledgeable, patient and experienced guide. We visited water falls, lakes, trails and key Rocky Mountain National Park sites. He was very flexible to our group needs and capabilities. We gave this tour 5 stars even though we had to use our own vehicle & gas and park entry pass. Taking this into consideration, a per vehicle price would have been more appropriate.

Experienced so much of the park in one day!

Mike was amazing! His love for the Rockies was evident and his experiences flowed right thru to us. His animal science background gave us many insights into the animals in the park and their habits. He had many visuals to share- now I want to come back and see the Rockies in color, spring when see the babies are coming. We would have never truly "seen" the Rockies without Mike. Thank you!

Ben did an excellent job...

Ben did an excellent job showing us around the park. He explained the animals and the habitat very well. He clearly has a deep knowledge of the park. We were able to see 4 moose, 2 herds of elk, marmots, chipmunks, and several varieties of birds. The views on top of the mountains were spectacular. They were beautiful from the valleys as well. We would definitely recommend a full day tour, it was well worth the money paid.

Amazing Experience

Elizabeth_T, Jul 2022
This was just an amazing trip. Having the guide drive your car helps so much in really looking at the scenery. Our guide was so kind and knowledgeable. He talked about the wildlife, the history of buildings, and the many idyllic places in the park. He took us to places that might not have been found by the average park visitor. Because our guide was also an eager explorer and photographer, we got to stop and take in the scenery, observe different wildlife, and walk in meadows, mountains, and along beautiful streams and brooks. I highly recommend this wonderful adventure to get a good idea of the park and appreciate its natural wonders. Our guide was also helpful in telling us about what to do in Estes Park and where to eat. This was a wonderful experience and one that you should not miss!

Would do it again

Great experience with our private guide. He knew where to see the animals and the routes to follow. I know we saw much more than if we had tried to do park tour ourselves.
