Discover Mesa Verde National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978 and considered the largest archaeological preserve and first cultural National Park in the country.

Spending the day with Aaron our tour guide was a great experience. His extrema knowledge of the American Native Indian was so enlightening . He has a passion and I highly recommend this tour and do not think you can visit the sites. I saw seniors of all ages and children visit the sites.

Our guideā€¦. H was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Mess Verde and was fun to talk with. He was also great at keeping us moving around the park but had great patience if we wanted to linger at a particular site.

Aaron was a tour guide for our full day tour of Mesa verde. He was OUTSTANDING! He has 20+ of archeological studies under his belt which added all sorts of perspective to the day. Highly recommended.
