knowledgeable and kind. Bruce made our trip even more amazing. Highly recommend!!🫎
Sarah provided us with an amazing day. Super knowledgeable about the area and flexible with what everyone wanted to see and do. It's a beautiful park and having Sarah as a guide allowed us to make the most of our time.
I am so glad I booked this tour of RMNP/Trail Ridge Road! I was hesitant as my son has special needs and has a manual wheelchair to go farther distances. I didn't need to worry at all -- Bruce was so personable, kind and understanding. He made us feel very comfortable and even sought out a couple accessible trails for us to explore! He was also very knowledgeable about the area, the history, even the flora and fauna that made the trip so much more interesting -- the time just flew by! I was also so glad my husband could relax and enjoy the views instead of worrying about driving the mountain roads. This was a great tour and I highly recommend it!
Bruce was a wonderful tour guide. His knowledge of the history of the areas that we drove through was outstanding. Wonderful experience & we saw a moose & baby calf! Definitely recommend!
Excellent views. Terrific information on a variety of topics. Brian was a phenomenal, top notch guide. Worth every penny. We look forward to finding another time to take another tour with him.
Sarah was fantastic. Knowledgable, flexible, warm, personable and just a joy to be around. Loved the history.
This was a very unexpected experience, Bruce was an educational resource that provided great knowledge of not only the park, but it's history and importance to everything around it.
It was great to have someone pick us up at our hotel, tailor the tour to our interests, and who was very knowledgeable about the park.
Looking for something to do, so booked this trip the night before. Picked up at our hotel on time. Vehicle was roomy, quiet and clean. Guide, Bruce, was very knowledgeable. Took us around the park avoiding areas that another booked trip would take us. This was by far the best tours we had during our stay in Estes Park.
Bruce was a wonderful guide, very friendly and accommodating. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharing lots of informative descriptions about local history and natural features of the area. Highly recommend!
Amazing tour. Bruce was knowledgeable and very interesting. It was a great morning exploring RMNP
Informative. Knowledgeable about the environment. Adaptable to all weather conditions. Bruce communicated well with us and was accommodating to our needs.
Bruce was a wonderful guide. He was able to tailor our experience to what my husband and I wanted to get out of our time in RMNP. He knew all the best spots and he was fantastic at scoping out all of the wildlife for us. He did not give up hope in finding a moose and we saw one! It was a wonderful day. We would recommend this tour to anyone going to RMNP. It was the perfect way to see the park with someone who had so much knowledge. Thanks again Bruce!
Bruce was incredibly knowledgeable, personable and a true historian of the area. We had a great time and learned so much about the environment, the animals, the rockies and Estes Park history. Would recommend booking him for any visit to Estes and/or Rocky Mountain National Park.
An informative and fun tour! Just what I was looking for.
We had the best time with Bruce. He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the town and the park. We learned alot and saw so many beautiful places. It was a great tour and plan to use him when we come back in the summer.
A must do tour. Bruce’s knowledge of the area was remarkable. Will be recommending to friends and family when they visit.
Excellent tour which allowed us to learn about the history, landscape and wildlife. Sarah was wonderful, knowledgeable and customized to our interests.
We recently spent six amazing and unforgettable hours touring RMNP with Bruce. He conveniently picked our group of four at our hotel and it was immediately clear that Bruce is very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the park and nature. We were concerned that six hours might be too long, but the time absolutely flew by. Bruce is very accommodating in terms of making the tour personalized. We spoke several days before the trip so he knew that we wanted to hike (in the surprise snow!) and Bruce showed up with a plan that allowed us to hike and see so many beautiful sites in the park without anyone in our group having the responsibility of driving. Truly an awesome experience with what I would call an Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park expert. Highly recommend!
Sarah did a great job taking us around Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park and the surroundings. We saw beautiful scenery, wildlife and spots of interest. She was attuned to our specific wants and needs. She was very knowledgeable and informative.
I just wanted to share our experience from the tour in Estes Park with Bruce. We had such a wonderful time! He was not only knowledgeable but also super friendly, always on time, and very professional. We truly enjoyed learning about the history of the area, and we would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone! Thank you for providing such a great experience! Best regards, Liz
Bruce was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable and in tune with nature and the cycle of animal life. I am from Colorado and been here many times but today I learned more than I could have imagined! Bruce is willing to stop - let you out take your picture.. so accommodating! It was the most personal tour I've ever been on. Bruce ! Thank you so much for your interactions!
Very informative. Bruce is very knowledgeable. Appreciate being in a private car with a customized tour rather than a larger bus tour.
Guide was knowledgeable, good communication skills and mellow. Car was clean and comfortable. Had a great time.
We had the privilege of going with Ron. What a great guide. He was so patient, catered to what we wanted to see and experience, and above all helped make this experience memorable. I wanted to surprise my husband and he took it upon himself to make sure we found the perfect spot. From booking to the end, it was all so easy and clear communication. Highly recommend! I also spoke with Bruce, the owner, over the phone and he answered all my questions, very professional and friendly.
Loved the whole experience. Was wonderful trip. Highly recommend. Very informative. Very nice people to deal with.
Bruce was very professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to ride with through Rocky Mountain Park.
We were hoping to learn more about the history and ecology of the area surrounding the Rocky Mountain National Park and we were not disappointed! Sarah was an amazing guide and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Being a local, she knew the area well, and she showed us really interesting areas we would not otherwise have seen. (She also took some nice pictures of us - I think she made me look 10 pounds lighter and 10 years younger). Favorite extra? She knew where the elk were hanging out and we were able to see them close up. We had an awesome time and wholeheartedly recommend Sarah as a guide.
Ron gave us an informative into to RMNP. Our goal was to familiarize ourselves with the park and some of the not to be missed features. Ron met our expectations and more. We had a fun half day with great conversation. Go ahead and book!
What a great way to see the park! Bruce was so knowledgable, friendly and helpful. We were extremely happy with the experience.
It was wonderful…. Tour guide was knowledgeable and eager to grant our wishes. Saw elk and deer, walked by a lake and Bruce was constantly giving us Information and background on everything. Great tour guide!!!
From the day we booked our guided tour until the day after the tour, Bruce was available to answer questions, and discuss concerns and goals. Bruce was extremely knowledgeable about the park. He knew not only the geological features and their importance, but he also knew what all of the animals and plants were. He went above and beyond answering all of our questions about the park. We never felt rushed or pressured by him and he made sure to try to find all the wildlife we hoped to see.
Bruce was very informative, safe driver. He was very helpful with information about not only Rocky Mountain NP but about the area.
Sarah provided us with a perfect tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. She ensured that she understood our sightseeing priorities, and is very knowledgeable about the area, geography, and animals. Her insightful explanations and caring attitude made our day!
We had an awesome adventure through the Rockies. Our tour guide Ron was wonderful He gave us a lot of interesting information about the park. What a great trip!
The personalized approach made all the difference. Would choose similar tour again instead of larger tour bus style tours. Very knowledgeable learned a lot. Plus of course the Rocky Mountain National Park was stunning!
Bruce is a wonderful guide. Through his tour, we gained insights and new perspectives on the nature all around us. It was a highlight of our time in Estes Park.
Bruce was an amazing guide and we had an incredible time. He was kind enough to meet us in town so we could get lunch and brought us a cooler to use. Then we piled into his car and he drove us to many key spots where we got out and took it all in. He was so knowledgeable about the park, the animals, nature, history - it enabled us to get so much more out of the tour than just absorbing its beauty. The time went too fast.
Last week I spent two excellent days with Bruce on private tours focusing on the Bear Lake and Trail Ridge Road area. These tour tours were THE BEST tours I have even been on. Bruce’s encyclopedic knowledge of the flora, fauna and the complex ecologies of Rocky Mountain National Park provided a level of insight that I did not expect. This, coupled with his extensive historical knowledge of both the Park, and Estes Park, completed an absolutely first-class package. If you are looking for a private tour that has everything Bruce is your “go to” guy!
I imagine most visitors would drive through the Park and miss the details. We're glad we didn't. Bruce is a professional, friendly, knowledgeable, local tour guide. He talked about the history of RMNP and about its future environmental challenges. Bruce explained the Park's various climate conditions; he pointed out its variety of flora and the effects of floods. The tour certainly added value to our vacation.
We had Bruce for an afternoon tour of RMNP. He was excellent! We had been in town for a few days and asked him to take somewhere we hadn’t been! He knows the park extremely well and didn’t disappoint on our tour to Copeland Falls, Lily Lake, and St Catherine’s Chapel on the rock. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend Bruce and company!
We had Bruce as our tour guide for the 3 days we were in Estes Park. He's the owner of tourestespark.com. He was beyond excellent! He personally tailored our tours to us, including what we were hoping to see. He's extremely knowledgeable and flexible which made for a memorable trip to Estes Park. We would highly recommend Bruce for your trip to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park.
My daughter and I went on a Wildlife Tour in Rocky Mountain national Park with Bruce today. There was a minor scheduling issue initially, but Bruce worked tirelessly to make it right. We had an absolutely magical tour with him in Rocky Mountain national Park. He is so knowledgeable about all the plants, animals, and everything about the park. We saw all kinds of animals, including lots of elk, mule deer, pika, marmots, and the big find of the day , which was a beautiful moose. He was also super personable and fun to talk to. He clearly cares so much about the environment which I really appreciated as well. Our tour just flew by! He was also really kind with my daughter and even gave her a book on wildflowers of the Rocky Mountains. I wholeheartedly recommend Bruce … I told him that we are 100% going to ask him to take us on another tour when we come back next time. If you go on a tour with him, you will not be disappointed! Thanks, Bruce, for an unforgettable day for both myself and my daughter.
Exploring Rocky Mountain National Park with Tour Estes Park was unforgettable. I saw both elk and moose! Our guide, Bruce, didn’t just point things out—he connected everything: wildlife, plants and geology. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by someone who deeply understands and loves this place. Highly recommend!
Our tour guide, Ron, was wonderful. We learned so much about Rocky Mountain National Park. We also saw lots of wildlife and it even started snowing at the top of the mountain. In June!
We were feeling overwhelmed by recommendations on what to see so we decided to book this tour to have a local guide help direct us. The tour especially came in handy after I ended up on crutches mid trip and couldn’t hike at all. Ron toured us around and was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the park and different regions he took us to - it truly made the entire visit to the park! Ron made sure to ask us some starter questions on what we had interest in so he could craft the perfect itinerary. We saw amazing sights and animals for photography and also felt super safe the entire time (as two people from the east coast these roads can be quite intimidating). Ron was not only a great guide but also fun to hang with for the morning. Highly recommend! Great tour for those who aren’t comfortable driving mountain roads and want to know what they’re looking at!
Bruce was a tremendous Guide with a deep knowledge of the history and, ecology of the Parks. He was thoughtful and friendly and picked excellent places to go. Cannot recommend him enough.
We did the tour two years ago with Bruce, and we had the best time ever. We had Bruce again this time and had an even better time. He's knowledgeable, personable and great company! The first time he took us to RMNP, we got to snowshoe - something we hadn't done before. This time we went to a different part of the park and had a totally different, but fantastic, experience. My wife and I would totally do it again and would definitely request Bruce again!!
I can’t stop telling friends about this trip! I was in Denver for work and wanted to see the park. Bruce tailored the trip for my level of fitness and gave me the opportunity to do something I had never done. This Florida girl learned how to snowshoe. Bruce was very knowledgeable about the area and his love for nature was contagious. He also gave me great recommendations for things to do afterwards. I would do this trip over and over again.
