If you’re not in for a full day tour, this tour is for you! - Wonderfully thorough tour of the Pueblo dwellings. Our tour guide/driver Jonathan really knew his material. He made sure we were comfortable and safe as we walked on various short trails to view highlights of the park and specifically the dwellings. We’re in our early 70s, and although some of the trails were more challenging with some elevation changes we took our time and enjoyed the stroll. Jonathan took the opportunity to tell us about the various shrubs, trees, and flowering plants. Highly recommend this tour. You can learn a lot in 4 hours! Coach was comfortable and the AC worked well.

Epic tour - Must do! - Immersive guided tour with extensive explanations of the culture, history and sights. Our guide Aaron was an encyclopedia and shared his passion for the ancient culture through stories and photos throughout the 6 hour tour. We couldn’t imagine a better experience.

Great Mesa Verde tour! - This was a wonderful tour. Greg our guide and driver was very knowledgeable about the history of this area in southwest Colorado. Besides explaining everything in detail about the area and people that once inhabited it. He made sure our small group stayed together and we had our questions answered. I would highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to get Greg as a guide!

Great guide. - Interesting and entertaining. We had a wonderful guide, Niel, who enriched our knowledge of the history of mesa Verde.
We were a group of seven people, small enough to have interactive discussion with our guide.

going back in time exploring the cliff dwellers - we had a wonderful learning experience because of the extensive knowledge of our tour guide Aaron. He shared so much history of the area that it encouraged us to do further research on the indigenous peoples there and their culture. Aaron also shared other sites that we might be interested in in other states. He had such a passion in sharing the stories on our tour that it made us want to explore more. we were very fortunate to have had him as our tour guide. Bob and Gloria
