Skye was an exceptional tour guide! She made our trip memorable and shared interesting facts. My daughter was experiencing a bit of anxiety but Skye made her feel at ease. 100% recommend for families with children or older adults. The views were breathtaking.

Stunning views despite haze from forest fires from distant locales. The guide (Alex?) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He made the visit memorable by pointing out so many aspects of the trip one would not have known about. The leaves of the Aspen trees were changing so it was something not to miss. Can't miss this one!

I've been on two other Rockies tours over the years (once solo and once with my mom) and this one was my favorite. Will talked the entire way, he was well-informed and a great storyteller, there were so many stops and hikes. We were never rushed and he really listened to us. I really enjoyed spending the day in the Rockies. Even though I've been on a few tours, each one is different and like I said, this one had the most stops/hikes and beautiful scenery. Thanks Will!
