Great opportunity to see the Rocky’s

This tour was great! We had plenty of rest stops and bathroom breaks. Great scenery, engagement, and care. Our tour guide Nick was great and very customer service oriented.

An overview of Rocky Mountain National Park

It’s a great way to visit the park especially if you are short on time while visiting. I live in Denver and it was a great day with a friend leaving the driving to someone else.

Overall, I enjoyed the...

Overall, I enjoyed the full-day tour. Sights were beautiful and pace of the tour was very well managed by Jason. Could have skipped the Stanley Hotel, but others wanted to see it. Lunch was delicious - great to have it included, and best I’ve had on a tour. Thank you! Van was very comfortable with 9 people (although it would have felt less so if full) and Jason is an excellent and safe driver. He also has a lot of great information to share as well as fun music selections throughout the day. The only disappointment was that two people in our otherwise quiet group took away from the experience. They were quite loud (and told story after story in response to what Jason was sharing) that my husband and I eventually put in our headphones for a break. It’s okay for there to be quiet time during the van ride, especially during a busy full-day tour and on the trip back. Other than the incessant talk of two guests, this tour was excellent.

A day in the mountains

The scenery and our guide Jason made this an amazing trip! The weather was great, the scenery was breathtaking. We saw wildlife and heard some crazy stories and well-timed music from Jason.
