The best tour for the Rocky Mountain National Park - Our tour guide Chrissie was an amazing wealth of knowledge which she shared throughout the trip. We got to learn about the different eco systems, climates and animals that inhabit the Rocky Mountain National Park. The tour was well planned with numerous stops at key sites and attractions as well as the much needed bathroom breaks. The picnic lunch was amazing!! Chrissie made every person on the tour feel special and included. I felt unwell due to altitude sickness and Chrissie had everything available to help me feel comfortable throughout the trip. The mountains were absolutely spectacular, the wildlife was diverse and beautiful to see in their natural environment and the park is a testament to environmental stewardship. I recommend Chrissie and her company 110% for this tour.

Great Taste of the Rockies - This was an awesome taste of Rocky Mountain National Park. You can't do it all in a day, but this is close. Christine, our guide, was knowledgeable and very helpful. We had frequent stops to look at the beautiful scenery and wildlife. (We saw a lot of elk and some marmots.) There were a few optional short hikes that you could choose to take. The van was new and very comfortable. The lunch was fresh from a local market. Overall, I had a great time and would highly recommend this trip.

Brit’s in the Rockies… we loved it! - We had the best time and would highly recommend! Myself and my mum June are from England and where travelling Colorado for a couple of days… this was the best way to see the place! We got such a warm welcome from our lovely tour guide Christin. We love that it’s a family ran business and felt Christin was really insightful and bubbly. We met a great group of people from all over the world and had a full day of seeing so many different parts of the Rockies. We loved seeing the wildlife and got some amazing photos. Thanks again Christin for a fab day and for playing John Denver - Rocky Mountain High for my mum!

Amazing Tour - We had Cowboy Frank as our tour guide. He did an amazing job and I really enjoyed him. As a plus sized girl I was worried that I would be uncomfortable or that I wouldn’t be able to do the activities, but I had a really good time and everything was doable. I went alone and everyone I met was super friendly. Frank was wonderful and gave us tons of info. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone. The views are amazing and it’s nice having someone else driving so you can enjoy the drive.

Great Day Trip - We had a great time with Cowboy Frank. He was a great guide and it felt like we did so much in one day. We stopped at the Stanley Hotel and and a water fall in the valley then plenty of stops to view the Rockies - then a stop in Estes Park on the way down. It was a beautiful drive on the way home through Bolder. Great day and great guide!
