Riley definitely delivered the unique and personal tour of the Rocky Mountain National Park that he promised. He actually over-delivered! We felt like he was part of our extended family. He catered to our needs - my husband had recent knee surgery and didn't think he could do much hiking. He took us to a couple of easy trails and made sure we saw the things we most wanted to see. He provided interesting narratives about the history, climate, animals and the people who made the Park what it is today. He was an excellent driver and his vehicle was spotless. It was a wonderful experience.

My wife and I had a fantastic tour of Fall River Rd and Trail Ridge Road with Riley. Riley was a perfect guide - personable and very knowledgeable about RMNP. He had some great stories about the history of the Park. The Outback was very comfortable and we could just relax and enjoy the sights. The Outback could easily fit 5 or 6 so it would be perfect for a family. Riley was very flexible in terms of what we wanted to see and even gave us time to do a couple of short hikes along the way. We saw a number of tour companies along the way which has a lot more people on their tours. I would highly recommend Explore Estes over these options for more privacy and flexibility. We even saw a couple of bears along Fall River Road which was a highlight.

The best part was going to places we didn't know about with our tour guide. Also our guide, Riley, giving us an amazing tour of Old Trail Ridge Road in a great car. He made a special detour to Moraine Park for us.
