Fantastic Tour of RMNP! - We really enjoyed our fantastic tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. Maria, our guide, was fun, energetic and excited about sharing her expert knowledge of the park with us. We really enjoyed hiking and seeing the many amazing vistas of RMNP, which included a mother Moose and her baby, a herd of Elk within arms reach, and a host of other amazing sites and creatures. Highly recommended!

Great guided highlights personalized for us - Great communication in the week leading up to our trip (family of four w 12 and 9 yr old boys) including personalizing all of our needs, from lunch and snack requests (including diet and allergy needs) to ensuring we got just the hike and sights we wanted from our day together. Mish was a great guide and gave some great info throughout the day while supporting us in the hike with great snacks and hiking poles for the kids. Mish made it comfortable for us to get in a great hike, lots of photo ops and not having to worry about times entry or driving around RMNP was a real plus!

The kindness of the guide made it worthwhile - Amazing. Chelsie was so kind and accommodating. She drove perfectly through the mountains and spent time with each member of my family individually during the hikes. Could not think of a better person for our family.

Bachelorette in RMNP - Everything was amazing! Our tour guide (Madeline) reached out to us a few days before to go over the itinerary and discuss lunch options! Madeline took us through some phenomenal scenic spots throughout the national park and also put together the most amazing lunch for us! Everything was perfect! The hike/tour was literally everything I had hoped for!!

Dream Come True! - I’ve been wanting to see the Rocky Mountains since I was a teenager, and this whole experience was a dream come true! Our tour guide, Madeline, planned a perfect day! We hiked up to Emerald Lake, drove up Trail Ridge Road to the Alpine Visitor Center, and had a wonderful picnic lunch by a stream. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Madeline was so friendly, knowledgeable, and conscientious to our needs. As a first time hiker in the Rockies, I also felt really safe because of her hiking/outdoor experience and training. Madeline went above and beyond what I expected, and I am so grateful to her and Good Trip Adventures for this experience! I will definitely use Good Trip Adventures again!

Best Day Ever! - I had such a great day with Troy in Rocky Mountain National Park! He reached out to us in advance of the tour to see what we wanted to see and do and even eat! He took great care of us, teaching us about the history of the park and attending to our every need! He felt like a part of the family and we can't wait to travel with him and Good Trips again!
