It was a great way to cover as much ground as possible from the comfort of the open air jeep. The views were stunning and great to learn the history on the journey from our tour guide Chase. Thanks for an amazing afternoon!

it was great! We were here once in 2014 but we just drove up to the 12,550 ft peak stopping along the way at numerous spots to take pictures. we had know idea of all the beauty in this national park. Sam our driver was very knowledgeable and informative. we learned so much about the animals, different trees and flowers, trails the environment and so much more. He made sure we saw animals, vegetation. and other important sites along the tour. highly recommend the tour and Sam.

Great views

Bertha_R, Oct 2025
Make sure you hold on tight if you stand up and take pictures. The view isn’t so great from the bottom of the Jeep.

Very interesting

Dot_R, Sep 2025
Tour in an open air truck. It held 10 people and is not real comfortable if you are a short person. Both my husband and l are shorter than average and struggled to keep seated at times. Otherwise the tour was very interesting and our guide, Nick was very knowledgeable.

Great experience. Very fun.

Tim_M, Sep 2025
Great experience. Nick Wagner is a very good tour guide. We saw a decent amount of wildlife. We made it to the top.

Great experience

Mike did a GREAT Tour!!!

Michael_H, Aug 2025
Mike did a great job and was very informative. My wife and I did not feel like we were on a typical tour. We went up a dirt road (Trail Ridge Road) which was an adventure and amazing with the views. We highly recommend going with Green Jeep Tours!!!

Didn’t have to worry about a thing. Dan, our driver took very good care of us. Was funny and knowledgeable.

Kim_D, Aug 2025
Was absolutely the best time. Dan our driver was funny and kept us very entertained. Would do it again

Must do tour

MinhTam_L, Aug 2025
What’s wonderful tour that was. Our tour guide, Chance, was the most personable and knowledgeable. We learned many interesting things while spotting so many wildlife. I will definitely recommend this awesome tour to my family and friends

Great guides, lots to see, start here to plan trip

Erin_Z, Aug 2025
Family friendly, beautiful scenery, knowledgeable and fun guides who are so passionate about sharing the experience with you. Michael was an incredible tour guide and excellent with kids. He made our experience special by tailoring it to what we wanted to see, plus his favorite places. RMNP is so beautiful and this safari gives you a great starting place to cover a lot of ground and get a good sense for what you may want to do more of!

Would recommend to anyone!

Sam was very knowledgable and patient with our group that included a disabled veteran. Sam made sure we got to see wild life before it ended.

Solo travel

sheenasuzanne, Jul 2025
Julie was a fantastic guide! I didn't want to risk getting lost in the park as a solo traveler, so this tour was perfect. Very informative, with lots of interesting sights! So glad I chose this tour.

Excellent tour

Colleen_F, Jul 2025
Our driver/guide, Michael, was a wonderful resource of information! We learned so much about the history of the park. There were numerous opportunities for photos-including an unplanned stop to see moose! The tour was relaxed and very enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Great Tour

Dianna_C, Jul 2025
The Green Jeep tour was exactly what we were looking for. Pat did a great job driving us up the mountains, provided meaningful facts about the mountain and was polite and courteous. He had great patience with our developmentally delayed son who requires a little more time.

Great View!

Karen_B, Jul 2025
Although we only saw two elk, Julie was a great guide who shared a lot of history and current info about the park. The ride itself was a lot of fun, and the views can’t be beat! An enjoyable way to see the park!

Spectacular trip

Susan_E, Jul 2025
Worth the time and dollars to see the magnificent park, its animals and the winding, rutted river road. The open air Jeep bed allowed six passengers to see everything. Fritz provided excellent commentary and skilled driving.

Fantastic!

Robin_S, Jul 2025
It was fabulous. Our guide Craig was excellent and made sure to provide us with great historical information along the way. He was patient and safety was definitely a priority. He made sure to hit all the highlights! What a wonderful day!

Beautiful Scenery!

Susannah_M, Jul 2025
Our family of four really enjoyed the tour! It’s open air, so you can see really well! Our guide, Dan, stopped along the way for photo opportunities and short walks to see waterfalls and nature. He was very personable and shared many facts and even a few jokes. We loved the tour and would highly recommend!
