Neal, our guide, was very informative and funny. He was able to answer any questions we may have had. He made sure we knew how to be prepared for what was coming up and always reminded us to stay hydrated. The ruins were a very interesting sight to visit. The walk to see the city up close was spectacular and challenging with the stone steps, but well worth the effort. Our park ranger guide, Logan, was knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Neal took professional pictures of each of us in the group which he provided free of charge. Drinks and snacks were included with our tour. Totally recommend this tour.

Our trip to Mesa Verde was fantastic. Neil is an awesome guide. He had so much information to share with us. He was also hilarious, kind and one of the best guides we have ever had. He also took pictures of us at the spots we visited and that will make our memories even better.

It was a great trip. Neil, our driver/ tour guide, was so knowledgeable about Mesa Verde, and told us great stories. I recommend anyone taking this tour to ask for Neil as we highly recommend him - so friendly and a great photographer.
