The tour was fantastic. Even with some areas closed due to COVID we didn't feel like we missed out on anything. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us things that other tourists missed completely. He adapted the tour to allow us to see what we were most interested in and did not rush us at all. We wound up going over time but he didn't mind at all. We got fantastic weather and the crowds weren't too bad although there were a good few visitors who didn't believe in wearing masks. Our own group kept our masks on. If you're going to visit Mesa Verde this tour is definitely the way to do it!

James set up a wonderful private half day tour with Tracy as our guide. Tracy picked us up at our RV park in a van and off we went. Tracy was so knowledgeable and a great guide. My husband is very interested in culture and history and asks a lot of questions and she answered all of them. He was very impressed how well informed Tracy was. The tour supplied excellent snakes a d cold waters. The private tour especially with Corona Virus made the world of difference for us driving around to being driven around with a GREAT guide.

It was great to meet you two and offer the private tour at Mesa Verde. People have really enjoyed that as well as our guides and we really appreciate the wonderful review!

Our guide was very very good. I have taken Anthro courses and done arch digs in SE Colo. Our experience was excellent to show us how living changed from the 600s to the 1300s. It turned out to be to our advantage that the NP was open but not staffed for NP Ranger tours. The order of the stops was excellent. I have not tipped $50 ever before but I did this time.
