Brad knows the history of the park and was a delightful guide. I would tour with him again!
We did the half day tour.

Our guide was also a photographer, so he showed us the places he has photographed and located animals. He also shared fabulous stories, amazing pictures, and rich history as we toured. Brad is a real gem of a guide!

Brad did a great job introducing us to Rocky Mountain National Park. Driving our car he took us to many of the parks more popular attractions explaining park history and current activities as we went along. He also gave us some good ideas and insight as to how we might want to spend the following 2 days on our own in the park. Well worth the money!

A must for anyone looking to visit RMNP. The information, history and locations that was shared made our visit way more enjoyable as we knew where to go and what to see.
Alan was great at sharing.

Mike was an excellent guide, sharing the history of Estes Park, the Stanley Hotel, and the Rocky Mountains National Park before we even hit the entrance gate. He took the wheel of our car (at our request) and knew when to drive slowly, and where to look for various wildlife. He even shared information about the foliage...who knew that Ponderosas are colored differently and smell differently depending on the age of the tree? Mike is truly a knowledgeable man about the history, mountains, vegetation, and wildlife and is considerate of his passengers' comfort and safety. He also takes fabulous photos as seen. We highly recommend that others take advantage of this tour and ask for Mike as their guide.

We had a great time! Our guide was very knowledgeable of the park. He took us to all the best places and gave us a lot of history. To get the value of a park use a guide when possible.

Man does Mike Phillips know his stuff!! My wife and I came up to Estes for our “baby moon” before our little one comes next month and wanted an immersive experience throughout Rocky Mountain National Park. He knew all of the spots and even more about the history of the park. If you are looking to not only see wildlife but learn about the roots of Estes Park, this is the tour for you. Thanks for everything Mike! Until next time.
