AWESOME TOUR - We really enjoyed our tour of Mesa Verde National Park. Our guide, Cat, was so knowledgeable and made history come alive. We would highly recommend this tour, and Cat as a guide, to anyone.

So glad we did this tour! - Highly recommend! I was able to book this half day Mesa Verde tour last minute (literally the night before) and met with Cat at the Boyle Park parking lot in Mancos at 8AM. Tour started right on time and Cat told us about the history on our way into the park (the view is amazing) and stopped at several areas to see those incredible dwellings. We also got to visit the museum and watched a short video of how Mesa verde was discovered and the significance of the Ancestral Puebloans. Cat took some great pictures of us with the Cliff Palace in the background. She was so sweet and very knowledgeable. Thanks Cat for those ibuprofen and stopping at fried bread tent! My daughter and I kept talking about how good it was :) Couple things to note: The instructions on their email is tricky. The Google map link that was indicated in their email didn’t work so I had a bit of trouble finding the meet up place. But since Mancos is pretty small I was quickly able to find it after driving around couple streets over. (Please double check the address for meet up place)

Fascinating geology and... - Fascinating geology and site of ancient civilization habitations. Tour guide, Cat, was very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and provided balanced information regarding perspectives on the area’s history from a variety of perspectives. The tour itself was very comfortable with water provided by the guide. The vehicle was akin to an air-conditioned shuttle bus with comfortable seating and manageable access and egress for minor mobility-challenged guests.

Mesa Verde - Awesome 1/2 Day Tour! - The tour was amazing! Jam packed for a half day. Bella, our guide, was a storehouse of knowledge not only making it fun but kind of spiritual with her knowledge of Native American history, mores, folklore and insights. I would highly recommend this trip. Rob from Denver

Fascinating tour - It's high altitude so drink lots of water. The guide was very informative and since we had a small group she was very flexible about what we wanted to do.

Mesa Verde 1/2 day - Good tour. Guide was okay, he wasn’t bad but really could have been more versed on the history and geology. He was , however, timely and very friendly
