    The Rockies Explorer tour I took in August was truly unforgettable. It was hands down the best trip I’ve ever had! What made it so special was the incredible team leading it. Victoria and Ivy were phenomenal tour guides. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and teamwork brought so much life to the journey. I learned a ton thanks to their insight, and their cheerful attitudes made every day a joy (even in the early morning). Our driver, Brian, also played a huge role in the experience. He drove with care and kept the bus spotless, making sure we always had a clear view of the stunning scenery. The entire trip was an amazing experience from start to finish. I’d absolutely love to go again especially if Victoria, Ivy, and Brian are part of the team!

    It was a very beautiful experience and on top having alexis as our tour guide was very nice. He knows a lot about the rocky mountains and shares his knowledge in a funny and nice way with everyone. I would definetly go on an another tour to the rocky mountains again and hope that alexis is the guide.

    It was really wonderful in every aspect, but I wish an extra meal could be added at least, and that a longer duration for the trip would be provided, since this time is not enough for such a place. I must also thank our perfect tour guide, Alexis — I don’t think there is anyone better than him in this field.
