We couldn’t have had a better day from a weather standpoint. Tour hit the majestic highlights of the park. Adequate time at all the stops. Scott was very informative. He took the curves a bit fast so I was glad to be sitting near the front or I would have gotten car sick which is why I didn’t give it 5-stars. But would recommend the tour.

Well worth the time and money. A beautiful day in the Rockies. Our guide, Will was polite, informative and made sure we had a good experience. Stopped plenty of times for us to get pictures and absorb the views.

My husband and I really wanted to get out of the city and see the beautiful views of Colorado. Our tour guide was Will and he was really great. 8 hours seems like a long trip, but it went by really fast. We saw some of the most gorgeous views of the Rocky Mountains! It was just absolutely gorgeous and totally worth the cost. The tour van was fine, but not the easiest to get in and out of. It wasn't terrible, but I think a bus with an aisle would have been better.

Thank you for the 5 Star review and for choosing to tour with us! I agree that the views are gorgeous of the Rocky Mountains. I'm sorry you found the van difficult to navigate getting in and out of. We run high roof 12 and 15 passenger Ford Transit Vans with an aisle but you are correct they are not busses. I am glad you had such a great tour and felt it was a totally worth the cost. Thank you!
