Wonderful Mesa Verde Tour - I would highly recommend this Mesa Verde tour runs by Mountain Waters Rafting Company. We booked through Trip Advisor and they call us 3 days ahead of time to confirm our email and cell phone. They gave both verbal and email instructions of where to meet. The day before, Neil, our guide texted us so we can contact him with any problem. He is a cheerful, knowledgeable, excellent guide for the trip. He is a careful driver and knows the history and area well. He took pictures of us on his camera and sent it to us after the trip. He used to be a professional photographer and these pictures are beautiful. The van was very comfortable and cold water and snacks were provided. I would book another tour with this company. Mesa Verde is an excellent experience. You get much more knowledge on the tour then to experience the park by yourself.

Neil was a fantastic guide, very enthusiastic and full of interesting facts and stories pertaining to the history of mesa verde and it's people. He also provided plenty of water and snacks for our entire group!

Mesa Verde guided tour - Our tour guide and driver Tosh Black was wonderful! It was great hearing not only the history of the area but the plant knowledge, too! I felt fortunate to be guided by a trained biologist.

Private Mesa Verde Tour - We decided make our tour private so it could be customized to us and be as efficient as possible.
Aaron O’Brien is an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable on archeology in general and Mesa Verde I particular. He is good at articulating the information. He is very patient in answering all questions.
He took us through the history in a chronological order. We saw all that we wanted to see It was a great half day tour.

Outstanding Mesa Verde National Park Tour - My wife and I just had the most amazing experience taking the full-day Mesa Verde tour with our tour guide Greg! The sights were beyond breathtaking and he was able to take us places off the beaten path, which was such a special treat. He took the time to listen at the beginning of the tour and designed a day exactly what we were hoping for. His knowledge of the area and passion for what he does shines through during the entire tour. We recommend that anyone wanting to experience Mesa Verde National Park use Mesa Verde Tours and ask for Greg, you will have a great time!

What industrious and resourceful people. - I toured Mesa Verde last week. The Rangers are very knowledgeable and give a good explanation of what is known about the ancestral Pueblo an people who built these dwellings, both on the Mesa and in the alcoves below. The rebuilt pit house at the Step House makes it easy to see how they lived in the early period. I really do not understand why they moved down below. This place is magical and it brings the story of these ancient people and how they lived.
