Great tour with amazing views - Neil was our tour guide and he was fantastic! He took pictures of our family at multiple stops and sent them to us afterwards. He told us a lot of history on our drive there but made it fun and entertaining! Would highly recommend this tour as you can sit back and enjoy the scenery instead of driving it yourself.

This tour trumps a DIY visit - Neil, our guide and driver - advantageous in this winding mountainous terrain - provided an information rich excursion experience with a unique wit and wisdom approach. The walking tour guided by park ranger, Kevin, was an up close architectural with historical context gem. We were privileged to learn from these committed and engaged professionals. This tour must be far superior to a DYI visit.

Exceeded Our Expectations - Wes was a terrific guide! He is passionate about history and culture, and loves to share stories and knowledge with others. We learned so much about the Pueblo and the 20+ tribes that inhabited the Mesa Verde Region.
If we had visited on our own, we probably would have just driven through, stopped for pictures at a few sites, and left. Instead, we spent a half day (including a ranger tour), and gained an immense appreciation for what life was actually like at Mesa Verde.
Thanks Wes!

Terrible Experience - The company canceled last minute. Too late for us to be able to book any other tour. Do not book with this company. There was no apology. I had to request the refund.
