RMNP-Photography 1/2 day Mountains to Sky tour Highly Recommended! - All positive points:
1. Dave was our tour guide. A perfect gentleman and super knowledgeable guide. We did the 12:30-4ish tour
2. As a skeptical East Coaster, having someone else drive my car, and never meeting them and trusting them with my family.....to put you all at ease, Dave was a super cautious driver. I figured, maybe I would drive and have Dave just talk, but that would have ruined my experience as the driver. Having never been there, it was breathtaking and easy to miss so much.
3. I was originally thinking of a different tour, in an open back truck, but to be honest, being in my own car on a cold day, I enjoyed all the comforts of my personal vehicle, having water and extra clothes and most of all being able to stop at any sight we wanted to see.
4. We started at the Horseshoe Park, saw one moose (it was the middle of the day) then took Falls River Road to its end, saw the flooded area from 1982, circled back and took Trails Ridge Road to the Alpine Visitors center. Such amazing views!! Touched snow. So many great photos. What an amazing National Park.
5. Dave was super helpful, as we told him were planning on entering the Park the next day (12:30 entry) to see the other side (Sprague Lake and Bear Lake) but we also had a pass to enter at 4 the same day. He was so helpful by telling us we could see Moraine Park, Sprague Lake and Bear Lake within that time, and we made it back for dinner at 7:45. We saved a day and saw other beautiful parts of Colorado. Thanks for the tip Dave.
6. Dave gave a lot of information and great points you can’t get on your own. Highly recommend this tour.

The Great Rocky Experience - Mike was SUPER! A gentleman and a real pleasure to spend an afternoon together with. My enthusiasm for the great outdoors, seeing wildlife, scenery and hiking was outmatched by his own.
Very knowledgeable about his backyard and sharing of information. I would recommend him to anyone

Just Right. - The tour for us was a scouting trip to Rocky Mountain NP. We were on a relatively tight schedule and asked Mike to show us as much as possible for future photography trips, as the hours of our tour (my selection) were not prime photo hours. We saw and noted more sights than we would have seen had we worked a sight or two. We are well prepared for a longer visit to RMNP.

Great day in RMNP - The tour was great and educational. We had signed up for lakes and meadows tour but ended up doing mountain to sky tour. The trip up Old Fall River Road was exciting. Marco our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable on the history of the park . We enjoyed everything about our tour and look forward to doing another tour again in the future. Highly recommend .

RMNP made easy - The kids and I had a fantastic outing with Dave Berry. His knowledge of the area and its history made for an informative trip. He took the wheel and guided us around RMNP, allowing us to take in all the sights of the park without having to worry about driving or knowing where all the perfect views were. I’d highly recommend RMNP Photographet Tours and Dave for anyone visiting the park.

Perfect tour for RMNP! - Mike was great! He took us all over to find different wild life, showed us all the spots moose hang out (we did see one!) , he took us up Fall River road and down trail ridge road and he drove which made me feel better about it since he travels those roads frequently. He is very knowledgeable and is also a great photographer! We learned so much from him. I would highly recommend.

Best way to see the park if you are short on time! - Wonderful half day Mountains to Sky tour with best tour guide ever, Dave B.! So knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history of the area. He took us to out of the way places that we never would have found on our own. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone - especially if you do not have a lot of time! Thanks, Dave!
