Greg was our guide to the half day tour of Mesa Verde National Park, James was our driver. Greg was very knowlegeable of the area and all the history behind it. Both he and James were a lot of fun and pasionate about this part of the country. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learned a lot!

My husband, two boys (19 and 22), and I went on this tour in August. We are so glad we did!! We met the group in Durango so did not have to drive out to the park. The tour was well organized and presented sites in chronological order of time built. Aaron was our tour guide and he was absolutely phenomenal!! He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the sites and his work. We learned so much more by going on this tour rather than going by ourselves. There was a separate bus driver so Aaron could focus all of his attention on the group and the sites - and also take/answer all our questions. Waters were provided. Would highly recommend!!

The majesty of the mountains was overwhelming. Learning the history of its inhabitants reminded me of the strength of the human spirit. Our guide Greg was most informative and very humorous. He made the whole experience come alive!
