5.00Relaxing way to enjoy the park. Our guide did all the driving and planning. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to relax and enjoy the views without the stress of planning, driving, or parking. Our guide was a wildlife expert too, which was great because we saw so many elk on our tour and she knew exactly where to take us.
Awesome!

3.00We had a wonderful time exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, and our tour guide, Leah, was very sweet, personable, and knowledgeable. She made the experience enjoyable and was easy to connect with, which we really appreciated. That said, since this tour is marketed as a photography tour, we expected that the guide would bring a professional camera and take photos as part of the experience. Without that element, the tour felt less unique and more like something we could have planned and completed on our own. Overall, we enjoyed our day and Leah’s company, but we would suggest that the company consider ways to make the photography aspect stronger and the tour more distinctive to better match the price point.
Estes Hotel is a nice place to stay..

5.00I loved this Lake and Meadow tour. The tour guide drove our car. Mike was great. He was so knowledgeable about the area, animals, past history of the park, and about the plants. Mike was personable and made the experience fun and exciting. I highly recommend this tour with Mike with RMNP Photogragher tour group.

5.00This was by far the best experience in Colorado! Brad really made our day the most special day with memories that will last a lifetime! He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, kind, intelligent, safe and truly a great guide and person. We would hire Brad again anywhere anytime to give us tour! In one of the busiest weekends in the entire year, Brad was still patient. He was able to help us maximize our goals in Rocky Mountain. We saw animals, traveled to the best places, had perfect breaks and learned a wealth of knowledge along the way. Thank you Brad!!

5.00Leah is a great guide and very knowledgeable of the park. She is also friendly and considerate of her guests. While some rain came along for our trip we were able to see two large herds of elk. We were also able to watch a big bull rubbing the velvet from his antlers. It was our first time into the park and we enjoyed every minute.
