Bruce was amazing! My... - Bruce was amazing! My fiancé and I had never been to RMNP and we decided to take a private tour to learn about the park. Bruce did an incredible job explaining wildlife, the mountains, trails, historical sites, etc. He even had photos, maps, and historical books to show the changes in the park. In addition, he would drop us off on short trails, encourage us to take our time to hike/sight see, and he would pick us up at the end. As a teacher myself, it takes a lot of talent to keep your audience engaged for 3 hours — and he did just that! He is passionate about the park and a great teacher on all topics! If you are looking for a great way to learn and have an in depth look into the park, Bruce is your guy!

Great Experience - I hired a 3 hour guided tour for my daughter and her foreign e change student from Germany to explore Rocky Mountain National Park. Their guide Ron was very interested in what the gals were interested in doing and came up with the perfect plan for the afternoon. Ron was very educational and shared a lot of history on each of their excursions. They really enjoyed the afternoon.

Don’t hesitate to book a tour - Well worth it! - Bruce is highly knowledgeable of RMNP and the Estes Park area. We learned so much in the three hours of the tour. He went above & beyond to assure we had a memorable experience. Don’t bother with trying to schedule an appointment to get into RMNP. Just book a tour, relax and learn.

Estes Park Tour - Bruce is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I would suggest that moving forward he have water available in the vehicle for his guests. Three hours at high altitude when you are unfamiliar with the area is key. The only other suggestion would be that the site inform that the tour is in an SUV. As it sits in the middle of jeep tours making it seem like it is a jeep tour. Otherwise it was fantastic and really appreciated Bruce’s knowledge of the park geology and history.
