Breathtaking landscapes + Good companions = Amazing trip. - I grew up listening to John Denver's Rocky Mountain High. I was curious about the "cathedral mountains, silver clouds, a clear blue mountain lake, seeing everything as far as I can see, quiet solitude" and thought that John Denver was exaggerating and just being poetic. I'm glad I was wrong. The landscapes, the flora and fauna, the sky and the clouds were exceeding my expectations. What made the trip the best experience was the companions: the tour guide (Aaron - you're the best!!!) and the fellow travelling companions from all over the place (US and Asia). In conclusion, John Denver was not exaggerating. In fact, words, lyrics, or cameras cannot possibly capture the awe-inspiring beauty of God's creation. When faced with the captivating splendor of God's amazing handiworks, I could only stand there speechless.

Exceeded our expectations! - I was certainly apprehensive about booking this tour!! But I’m so happy I did! This tour is certainly a must for people who don’t necessarily enjoy much hiking but love to enjoy the views of the Rocky’s!! And it’s about 8-9 hours long and not super exhausting!! Our tour guide Aaron was amazing and had very thorough knowledge about the national park! He certainly was one of the best parts of the trip and kept us entertained throughout! Aaron has taken us to all the best spots in the park!

Beautiful tour - incredibly great nature! - Great tour guide, already on the way there was an incredible amount told about the history of the city of Denver and the surrounding area or the Rocky Mountains. It was also stopped in two towns that are totally different from Denver. To have a nice day with great viewpoints and to get a first overview of the national park, this tour is ideal. However, if you are expecting a hiking tour, this is the wrong place.

Beautiful drive - The mountains were beautiful and the walk around the lake was very nice. I thought from the description we would have a few chances to walk in the park, but the only stop was the lake, the other stop was just for pictures. We did see tons of elk, which was fun, and the driver took us around to find some as we were driving out of the park.
