I took the all day Rocky Mountain National Park tour on Sept. 25th. Emily was our tour guide and was informative of the National Park and all the spots we went. The group I was apart of was amazing to be with for the day. I know a tour company can't make up how people will respond, so that was an extra bonus for a person who was traveling solo.

I went on Adventures West Garden of the Gods & North Canyon today. Idaho Tater was our guide- very knowledgeable about the history of the area . He even had pictures of the area . Easy to understand, helpful, informative and humorous. Would recommend this tour for anyone. I don’t usually post reviews but he was over the top GREAT guide.

I had such a great time on my tour! Our tour guide, Christin, was amazing and SOOO knowledgeable about Colorado. I booked the full day Rocky Mountain tour and wasn’t sure if it might feel too long, but the day flew by and was so beautiful. Christin was incredibly flexible and even managed to add a couple of extra stops because she knew the area so well and it happened to be rutting season. She was also very accommodating and went out of her way to make sure everyone had a great experience. The picnic lunch was great too. It was really fun meeting people from all over the world, some who had traveled a very long way to visit Colorado. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re traveling solo. There were several solo travelers on our tour, myself included. And if you’re traveling alone, your guide is happy to take plenty of pictures for you, so you don’t have to ask a stranger. On the way back, Christin shared a TON of recommendations for other places to visit and things to do back in Denver, which made me want to come back even more. Overall, it was a perfect day, and I’m hoping to do another tour when I return to Colorado. Thank you!! 😊
