Fantastic guide Chris, covered everything saw Elk and mule deer, memorable trip.
The Top of the World Jeep tour was great!!! Our guide, Therese, was fantastic - liked the dad jokes along the way. You cannot beat the breathtaking views from Trail Ridge Road. Highly recommend this tour and will do it again when we venture back to Estes Park, Colorado.
We had a fantastic time on the Top of the World tour. Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed every stop that was made. We really appreciated the snacks and blankets as well! Would definitely do this again and recommend it to anyone!
From the beginning of the tour our guide Cochise was friendly and attentive. He had a vast knowledge of the area including facts about the indigenous culture and rock formations. In general, he was knowledgeable about the ecology and history of the area. Cochise has a wonderful personality he was kind and engaging the entire trip. He checked to see if anyone in the group had plans afterwards so that he could get us back to Estes Park on time. He had restaurant recommendations and tour attractions within the town. He felt a bit like a concierge and added a lot of value to the tour. As a part of his spiritual practice, he played the drum and sang a song honoring the spirits and people of the mountains. We were very moved and grateful to have him as our tour guide. Thanks again Conchise!
This was a very comfortable and informative trip. Our guide, Theres, did a great job narrating along our trip. We really appreciated the blankets, water, and snacks.

Wayne was such an engaging tour guide with extensive knowledge about everything from plants to animals to history. He’s passionate about the park and hiking and that is reflected in his presentation. Our weather wasn’t the best on Trail Ridge Road so we were happy to leave the driving to someone else!
