About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- millicentd2750 contributionsLower Valley TourWe enjoyed this tour. While we did not see many animals on the tour itself, it pointed out several areas that we returned to later in the day where we saw moose, elk and deer. Our guide John was extremely knowledgable and made the trip interesting. We would recommend this tour.Written 23 September 2023
- michellewE9682FD0 contributionsDon’t sleep on Cindy!My friend signed us up for the elk extravaganza tour for my birthday, and it was exceptional. We had Cindy as a tour guide and I can’t imagine taking the tour with anyone else. She was a font of knowledge and had so many interesting stories and anecdotes about the park history and beyond. We will definitely recommend her to any future friends or family looking to take a tour in the park.Written 23 September 2023
- 834brucez0 contributionsWell rounded trip of RMNPWe enjoyed our trip. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and talked about the park, its history, geology, ecology, flora and fauna. We really enjoyed that he spent time on each topic and had a lot of examples to show us. We traveled with my 89 year old mother and our guide certainly took in consideration her limitations as far as walking distances and my mother also liked the trip. We probably stopped in at least 8 different places. I liked that we stayed away from the Bear Lake area as we have been there on our own quite a few times. Our guide tried very hard to find us some big animals like moose or elk but they just weren’t around on the day of our tour. We live in an area of Colorado where we see moose and elk quite frequently so it probably wasn’t as big a deal to us as it would be for people from other parts of the country. We did see a big group of elk in Estes Park as we headed out of town after the tour. I rate it 4 stars based on the use of the two way radio’s. We really had to strain at times to hear what our guide was telling us over the radio and had to travel windows up to help hear. We missed some of what was said and that was unfortunate. Overall, a very good introduction to Rocky Mountain National Park and I would recommend to anyone who’s coming to the park for the first time or those who want to get really immersive.Written 1 September 2023
- Rybrsol0 contributionsAwesome Tour with Julie!!!!This is an amazing tour. Our tour guide, Julie, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable of the park and provided the best service. She picked us up and we followed behind her in our car communicating via two way radios. We saw Elks, Moose etc and the views were amazing. We were able to stop at our request and see whatever we wanted to see and stay as long as we wanted to stay. I couldn't have asked for a better tour and better guide.Written 30 August 2023

- christinemI5666XC0 contributionsAmazing hike!My guide, John, was incredible. Very knowledgeable of the park, called me prior to the hike to customize my experience, and was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this tour to anyone.Written 13 August 2023
- angelabA6719WJ0 contributionsJohn is the best!We spent the month of July hiking with John and what a great experience. Since we are sea level creatures, John made sure to set up hikes that would acclimate us. Starting at about 10,000 feet elevation to 13,000 by the end of the month. He knows the park inside and out, so we got to see several lesser traveled areas that were breathtaking. John is also a flower master. He opened up the beautiful world of the tiny Colorado flowers. Crazy amazing when you get to see them up close. By the end of the trip we were much more confident hikers, got to see all kinds of wildlife, and had a great time. We’re hoping to get back this winter and try out snow shoeing!!!Written 1 August 2023
- Rainy_E90 contributionsNo showsWe got an email confirmation of the tour yesterday, arrived 15 minutes early, as directed, but no one from Estes Park Guided Tours ever showed up. We called the number provided and left a voicemail and sent an email to the address in the confirmation. No response to either. At 5pm we noticed our money had been refunded. No one bothered to respond, explain, apologize for wasting our day. Obviously very disappointed with this company.Written 1 August 2023

- Marblesmum0 contributionsKnowledgeable guideJulie was an excellent guide. As we were the only car doing the tour she came in our car. Her knowledge of the park enabled us to learnt about the geography and the wild life. We had driven through the park on our own and missed loads. I would definitely recommend that you take this tripWritten 19 July 2023

- dramchan20170 contributionsUnresponsiveI am disappointed that the customer service does NOT to queries in a timely manner. There are queries in their pretrip waiver form that could potentially compromise security but no rationale is offeredWritten 24 June 2023
- U35WXandrewd0 contributionsGreat park experienceJulie was the perfect guide. We drove behind her and she would talk to us on a walkie talkie. She would share facts and history with us the whole way, while pointing out natural wonders. Julie made frequent stops for photo ops and to point things out. I know we would not have seen as much on our own, and if we saw it we wouldn’t know the significance. At the end we went our own way to picnic in the park, and Julie even told us some good picnic spots.Written 24 June 2023

We are a family of four (two 12 year old boys) and did this excursion 3/8/2020. We all enjoyed the sledding (especially because we are from Florida), but the guide, Ben, makes the guided tour! He is very knowledgeable, provides plenty of great information and takes you to breathtakingly beautiful views all while catering to the group's interests/needs. He adds a personal touch that puts this company/tour above the rest. The added hot chocolate and optional peppermint schnapps was also a plus.

My family (adult and 2 kids - 4yrs and 9yr) loved this tour and feel like we got so much more then we thought we would! We took this tour because we were first-time travelers to the area and I wasn't sure of the road conditions. Ben took us into the national park sharing some interesting history about the area and fun quiz facts for the kids. He provided good quality sleds and gave us some good tips for the novice sledder. After sledding he had hot chocolate for us and took us for some more photo ops and history of the park. It was a great afternoon and I look forward to touring with Ben again if we get a chance to visit this great area.

We had a great time on this tour. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but enjoyable none the less. To give you some clarity, you go an a driving tour in your own car with a walkie talkie, stopping at trails along the way and then you go to the sledding hill. Our tour guide, Julie, was knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun and unique experience.

The tour is not only highly recommended because Ben knows how to take you to the best spots around Estes, he is not only patient to let you take as many pics as you want, he also is willing to stay longer to take that pic you wanted. The views and the activities during the tour were awesome.
He excels at touring.
