A Must See - Would recommend this tour. Mike, our guide, was very knowledgeable and a great driver also. One thing to consider is that this tour is physically challenging. But, oh so worth it!

Vicariously enjoyed this tour - Regrettably and candidly, an illness kept me from personally attending this tour as initially planned. So, this review may violate the personal experience checkbox required by Viator. Still, others in my travel group were able to attend and raved about the great time they had. In fact, they kindly kept me apprised with photos, videos, and messages that inspired this review. So, this is a very positive but vicarious review. I’m excited to get back to this part of the country and experience the tour live and in person soon based on the wonderful images and video clips others in my travel group shared with me.

A trip not to be missed - A terrific experience that everyone should have. We had the best guide, Mike H., he gave us loads of information on the Mesa Verde and the area. Also great stories he's experienced. The Cliff Dwelling was spectacular to see up close and personal and our tour guide in the park, Bonnie was so good.

Happy that we spent the extra money making the trip more manable for us. - Both my husband and self enjoyed all the information our guide gave us during the tour about how the tribes were able to survive and built their unique shelters. Our driver Molly also did an excellant job pointing out the scenic views in the park.

Cliff palaces in Mesa Verde - Very good park ranger tour. The walk and climbing up and down the ladders to and from the cliff dwellings is an experience not to miss.
