Many Thanks to our guide, Wendy, for the memorable day tour of this magnificent park! I believe it will be the highlight of our reunion! ( Four life long friends from assignments in Germany) Visitors to the Denver area should not miss this tour especially if you have a limited amount of time to explore and feel the Rocky Mountains.

This was a great tour of Denver, Boulder, Estes Park, and the Rocky Mountain National Park. This was our first (and probably only) trip to Colorado, and it was great spending the day with Christin and getting to learn about the area as well as the majestic Rockies! The tour is small enough (about 12 of us) to have that intimate feeling and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow passengers. Christin provided snacks and water as well as traction grip cleats for our shoes in the snowy/icy areas. She often volunteered to take pictures of tour members and scenery. She knows the area well and is quick to spot wildlife. We had a beautiful day for the tour, and the recent snow made the mountains even more beautiful. I would highly recommend this tour, or check out the other tours Colorado Sightseer offers in the Denver area. This was definitely a highlight of our multi-state vacation! Thanks, Christin!!!

Our tour of the Rockie Mountain National Park with Kristen with FABULOUS! The weather was gorgeous and perfect and Kristen shared a wealth of information. We made multiple stops and saw an array of fantastic sites, as well as wildlife. She has an eye for deer and elk and we didn't miss any that day! She had water bottles, snacks and even anti-slip shoe treads that helped us walk around the snow/ice at Bear Lake. She took us to Estes Park where we spent time eating and shopping. We drove through beautiful Boulder. It was just a phenomenal day. Well worth it. I'd recommend this tour to everyone.
