My friend and I took a 2-day tour of Rocky Mountain National Park with Riley. He was knowledgeable about the history of the park and we saw all the park highlights. He was very warm and personable and we could not have asked for a better guide. His vehicle was clean and very comfortable. With the Covid pandemic still a concern, traveling with a vaccinated guide in a private vehicle with no strangers was also a great benefit. The Welcome Packet sent in advance of our trip was helpful in planning our itinerary in the park and Estes Park. I would highly recommend Explore Estes and our guide, Riley.

I traveled to Rocky Mountain National Park with a friend. Our tour guide, Riley provided door-to-door pick up service in Estes Park. With a private guide and driver, we were able to customize our trip into the park to match our interests Riley was an excellent driver, the car was new and well maintained and he was well informed about the history of the park. With concerns about the continuing Covid pandemic, a fully vaccinated private tour guide also provided a degree of safety. I would definately recommend this tour and the operator Explore Estes.

Going up Old Fall River road without the worries of driving giving us the ability to take in all of the sites was priceless. Riley was very knowledgeable about the park. We saw several herd of elk, marmot and pika. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Colorado.
