Great Tour! - We took the 8:45 tour this morning and it was great. We had two adults and a 13 and 16 year old. The kids really enjoyed seeing everything in RMNP. We saw a couple of moose, mule deer, and elk. Our guide was Jim and he was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the park and history and he shared a lot of interesting facts with the group. He was great with finding good spots for pictures and he offered to take a lot of us.
This is our first time in Estes Park and the RMNP and I am so glad we decided to do this tour.

Veteran guide - Our guide Wesley was very knowledgeable and happy to share flora and fauna info with us. He was courteous and kind to me as I have a broken arm and had trouble getting in and out of the vehicle. I’d also like to thank you for hiring a veteran.

This was a great experience for anyone who wants to see a lot in a relatively short amount of time. - Darren was a great tour guide! We got to ride in an off-road vehicle wich made it that much more fun. Darren seemed to know exactly which stops to make and which ones could be skipped without missing much. The views were absolutely amazing. And we got to see elk and even a moose! He was very knowledgeable and we learned a ton about the park and nature in general. Recommend this to anyone who wants to get a good view of the park and see a lot in a short time.

Highly recommend - The tour took us to many photo worthy locations. I did wish we got to spend more time at the top locations. But the tour guide did allow us to request stops. The tour guide both informative and funny. He did a great job keeping the group engaged.

Top of the World is amazing! - Aaron was a fantastic tour guide for the Top of the World Tour. He was funny and knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to stop and admire the scenery. The change in temperature that occurs is crazy and it gets very windy. The ride is well equipped with blankets, heaters, water and snacks. Dress warm! You will not be disappointed. This is well worth the money to be able to enjoy it and not be focused on the drive. Lots of wildlife too! We saw elk, moose, marmot, and chipmunks.

Great day in Rocky National Park! - It was awesome! Jim our guide was fantastic. The Tour provided plenty of water and snacks. Warm at base of mountains but at 12,000 ft Jim provided the group blankets and closed the roof of the hummer and put the heat on. It was cold at the top but the views were amazing. Can’t say enough of how great this experience was, be prepared for weather changing by the minute.
