Must do trip if you are in denver - I'm very glad I took this trip. Jerrry was a awesome guide who helped understand the history of denver, boulder, lyons as well as the RMNP. He was also great photographer and clicked awesome pictures for us.
They made ample stops along RMNP at Rainbow curve outlook. Trail ridge road, estes park, lily lake etc.. The views are breathtaking and would 100% recommend this trip as a solo traveller or for even group travelers. Definitely worth the money.

Denver Must Do! - Jared was very knowledgeable and made the experience unique and fun. Stops were breathtaking however there was a very limited amount of time at each destination. This was understandable as the property is huge. We saw several animals throughout the day and had a truly great experience.

No cell signal...No problem...with a Tour Guide~ - Aaron was a fantastic tour guide! We stopped at all the right places and saw lots of beautiful wildlife. He was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about the RMNP and everything in it, including the aspen trees! We had a really nice group of people in our van. The picnic lunch was just enough and there was plenty of water to refill bottles! I would 10/10 recommend this tour even if you think it's a little pricey. Fun fact...there is no cell signal in the park so you would have to rely on the map to get where you want to go! Aaron knew it all by heart!

Great day at RMNP - We had a phenomenal day touring RMNP with our guide Gentry. We saw wildlife and beautiful vistas all day. She was extremely knowledge about the animals we saw and the ecosystems and fauna we travelled through. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are looking for something exciting to do in the area.

Small Group led by Excellent Guide/Driver - Our guide Gentry is steeped in local knowledge and we had excellent stops to see the National Park.
The weather at the park is unpredictable but we made the most of it.
Our guide dispensed great advice for altitude sickness and we made plenty of stops.

Amazing tour with knowledgeable guide - What an amazing experience! I booked a mother daughter trip to Colorado (our first time here) and chose this tour. I am so glad I did! Jake was an amazing guide. He was super knowledgeable and very attentive to the group. He made it very comfortable and enjoyable for the 8 hours. He took us to a few different beautiful spots that allowed for light hiking, pictures and sightseeing. Our lunches were super tasty and he even brought us cookies! We had requested vegetarian sandwiches ahead of time and they were ready for us. I cant recommend this tour enough and hopefully you will be lucky to get Jake as your guide!

Breathtaking views, but could use a bit more narration or announcements of stops - Going up Old Fall River Road provided amazing views and a bated breath experience as the van curved up narrow paths with sheer drops on one side. To make the experience even better, I'd recommend the following:
1. Hold the picnic lunch in a picnic table setting away from the flies. It was hard to enjoy the sandwich while fending off my sandwich from the flies.
2. Announce the photo stops more clearly so that passengers know what they are looking at.
3. Include a guided hike in the itinerary.
4. Instead of multiple short stops, include longer stays in fewer locations. This would minimize the time spent getting on and out of the van.

Great way to be a viewer and not the driver. - We got to go on the one way road. That way we had a different view on the way down. During lunch we had a deer wonder right into the space.
