WORTH EVERY PENNY! - This tour was so entertaining and informative. Dave, the narrator, told us about the early people of Mesa Verde and the subsequent people, as well as theories regarding the settlement's abandonment. Additionally, Dave talked about the geology of the area and where to stop and hike. We loved the narration so much that we purchased the audio tour for our next stop, Arches National Park. Highly recommend!!

Enjoyable Day...a definite must. - The tour was well narrated. However, there were places on the map on the brochures we picked up in the visitor center, that we either could not find, were closed, or we were not able to get to. Some places were not narrated on the top loop, so we missed them. Overall, we had a great time. We saw beautiful sites and scenery and had an enjoyable day.
