Traveler reviews
Next level tour and tour guide
Excellent experience with Jed. Perfectly paced and super informative. He really sought out as many wildlife sightings as possible and we had several!
Best bang for your buck!
My boyfriend and I are traveling from Boston and wanted a tour of the Rockies since we don’t know the area well. We were NOT disappointed by this tour. Our tour guide, Jed, was knowledgeable, funny & intelligent. The changes in elevation were very manageable and we got to see so much wildlife (4 moose in one day!!). We would love to come back to do another tour & would highly recommend it to anyone visiting CO!
A great day out
This was a fantastic trip. Our guide Nico met us outside Union Station in an air conditioned minivan. He was very enthusiastic and full of information. We drove to Lyon’s first and stopped for a short bit. Then on past the hotel where Stephen king wrote The Shining. We stopped at a waterfall and carried on hunting for wildlife. We saw elk and deer and ground squirrels (unfortunately no moose or bears) He stopped every time he spotted something. Had a lovely picnic, then up to the visitor centre at the top. All in all it was a great trip and I’d recommend to anyone. There’s no hard walking so good for everyone.
Joshua was wonderful. ...
Joshua was wonderful. His knowledge of the area and willingness to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible made for a fantastic day and tour. We highly recommend this tour and give special recognition to our guide!
Excellent tour, highlight of my Denver trip!
This was an excellent tour of the Rocky Mountain national park. My guide Rico had a lot of interesting information to point out on the way up, and the mountain views were fantastic! On my tour, I saw bighorn sheep, elk, marmots, picas, prairie dogs, eagles, hawks, and chipmunks! Due to the time of year, we also got to see a gorgeous waterfall on a different trail, that was very cool. The picnic lunch was very nice, and you could not beat the location. Overall, you will have a great day on this tour. Just make sure you drink lots of water and Gatorade to help with the altitude shift.
