It was absolutely an over the top experience! Brad was such an accommodating tour guide, and we saw some of the most beautiful sites ever! Brad really went out of his way to make us feel special and customize our trip to exactly how we wanted it. We highly recommend this private tour far above larger group tours. Thank you Brad for making our day great!
This is a private custom tour in a luxury SUV. I am a history buff and have been a private guide for over 12 years. I am certified by the State of Colorado for private driving and guiding for all my tours. I will not only show you the beautiful sites of the Colorado Mountains but I will also give you some of the sordid and salacious details of Estes Park's past. In the Rocky Mountain National Park we can go on small hikes to the Alluvial Fan and other sites such as Spaque Lake or Bear Lake. There are many wild animals to see such as Mule Deer, Elk, Moose and more. Estes Park is a great place to souvenier shop and stop for a bite to eat from one lof the local establishment that specialize in the local game and food. If the clients would rather go to Grand Lake then I can customize and take that route. This is a full day where you will see some of the most beautiful majestic sites that exists. We will drive along the longest higest road in America where you will witness these sites.

I lived in Denver so trips to Estes Park and RMNP are old hat for me. The new park system requires visitors to get a timed entry into the park and you must enter during that 2-hour window. If you enter during your assigned time, you can leave the Park and return. No timed pass is required before 9am or after 4pm.
I stay at a friend's home, so I can't speak to accommodations. During the summer, downtown Estes Park is elbow-to-elbow people. The ideal time for a visit is early June or after Labor Day. The drive up Independence Pass is easy for mountain drivers but can be a bit scary for "flat-landers!" However, It's spectacular and there is still snow at the top in June. The road generally doesn't open until Memorial Day. The snowbank on each side of the road after it's first plowed can easily be more than 10 ft. high. There is also hiking (trails from easy to "you've got to be kidding!", horseback riding, etc. etc. Activities abound.

We had a great time with our guide Brad who showed us the sights of the Rockies and us being handicapped helped my husband get around with his sitting walker
and removing walker from car and going and getting drinks for us and also took some pictures for us. We appreciated what he did for us. He was great and we appreciated his help.

Brad was very helpful from the moment I first contacted him about doing a tour. I was very pleased with his responsiveness, his tips and advice about what to focus on and especially with his patience in dealing with all my questions. The tour itself was very relaxing and enjoyable for both my husband and me. Brad went out of his way to make sure we saw all the things that interested us!

Brad is an excellent tour guide. He gave us an wonderful and memorable tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. He knew exactly which sights to take us to and supplemented the awesome beauty of the Park with his tremendous knowledge of the Park as well as other parts of Colorado. We look forward to taking more tours with him on future trips to Colorado. We highly recommend him as a tour guide.
