Great Experience Even with the Clouds and a Little Rain/Snow - Our driver, Ron, was very friendly and helpful during the tour. He was thoughtful about the comfort of his passengers (3 of us). Even though he was sort of new taking people on tours of the park, he was very knowledgeable and found answers to our questions in his notes. He knew where to find the animals we wanted to see. We got good pictures of elk and moose. He picked us up and dropped us off directly at our resort. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who want a good tour of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Terrific tour - time well spent!! - Ron was our driver and he was terrific!! He picked my husband and I up at our hotel right on time. He asked us what was most important for us to see. We said beautiful peaks and animals. Ron had a plan and the 3 hour drive delivered gorgeous views, lots of information, and plenty of turkeys, mule deer, and elk!

Good tour of Rocky Mountain - Nice tour , learn a lot about the park. Would have liked to see more animals. But that's just nature. Not all roads have been open yet. Beautiful nature.

Incredible Tour - So glad we did this tour! My husband and I toured the Rocky Mountains with Bruce and it was truly unforgettable. The scenery was simply breathtaking. Bruce knew all the best spots for photo opportunities, and he made sure we had plenty of time to soak in the incredible views. We were surrounded by towering peaks and lush meadows. The sheer scale and beauty of the landscape were truly awe-inspiring. Bruce is a true educator, sharing insights into the geology, wildlife, and history of the Rockies. One of the most profound takeaways from our tour was a newfound respect for the circle of life. Bruce's explanations helped us see the mountains not just as a beautiful landscape, but as a complex and dynamic living system. This is a must see tour!

The most memorable and exciting thing in Estes Park - I and my wife had a great time with Bruce! We joined his tour when we visited Denver and Estes Park for the first time ever on our thanksgiving holidays, and this was definitely the most memorable and exciting thing we experienced there. Bruce is a very knowledgeable and kind person. He took us by his very clean car to some special places that we never be able to visit without him and he never bored us. Also, his talk and explanation in English was so clear and easy to understand for non-native English speakers like us.

Fun/informative tour - Bruce gave us so much information. It was interesting. Well worth the money for us. I think we got to see all the best views when in a vehicle. It was so nice not to worry about the driving.

Good but pricey - Bruce was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly, I could see the tour being great for first timers or out of state tourists. 4 stars for him being awesome and giving helpful tips for the rest of our trip but dropped a star because the price doesn’t quite match the experience. Otherwise it was a great time, most likely would be a better tour when the park is fully open.
