- 655andrear6550 contributionsAmazing Fall tripFun ride and very knowledgeable guide! It was a chilly morning so we were super happy with the stocked goodies in the van/truck - not cold and very comfortable. Went to many stops, saw amazing beauty of the area. First time in RMNP, first time In Estes Park.Written October 20, 2024
- ane p0 contributionsNo brainerI was a bit nervous because of how much we spent but it was totally worth it and would do it again in a heartbeat. If we’d have had more days, we would have gone on more tours with them. We had Zak as our guide and he has a natural talent for entertainment and hospitality. Experienced and professional. The major highlight of our Estes Park/RMNP portion of our Colorado trip. The retractable roof is genius. It gets cold and incredibly windy as you get up high no matter how warm it is below. Van was comfortable and well stocked with blankets, drinks (warm too), snacks. Great experience-highly recommend.Written October 19, 2024
- mariateresao8290 contributionsGreat Rocky Mountain tripBrian was our driver and tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the park. Planning another trip with purple points company.Written October 18, 2024
- johnkN3845BY0 contributionsThe best way to tour Rocky Mountain National park.What a fantastic experience. Brian was an awesome tour guide and his passion and knowledge of the park was clearly evident. The bus was a great option with the retractable roof. Besides the snacks and beverages (hot & cold), they had every amenity you might want or need, from umbrellas and blankets (which thankfully we did not need) to binoculars and monocular for wildlife sightings, Oh yeah, and Brian also willingly offered to take photos of his guests. I would highly recommend!Written October 16, 2024
- OCBB0 contributionsGoodThe tour was great and the scenery gorgeous. The van has a single seat upfront that faces backwards which makes for an uncomfortable ride. Other than the seat the tour was terrific. We had ample time at each of the stops to enjoy the scenery.Written October 13, 2024
- Julie M0 contributionsPerfect way to see the parkThis is a great way to see the park. Our tour guide stopped frequently so we were able to get out and take pictures and small hikes. He was humorous and information. The bus itself has the roof that opens in the back like a convertible. We both enjoyed the scenery and not having to drive. The colors of the trees were all fall. Just beautiful.Written October 13, 2024
- MChoney0 contributionsAwesome tourWe did the half day Rocky Mountain National Park tour. From the moment we arrived to their office with clean bathroom, drinks hot and cold with a very warm welcome to the great open or closed all window bus with again drinks hot and cold, snacks blankets, binoculars charging areas. To our amazing tour guide Brian. He’s the perfect blend of knowledge without boredom to attentive and helpful. I absolutely highly recommend this tour.Written October 10, 2024
- laurentC8102RE0 contributions10/10 would definitely recommend booking this tourOur family booked this tour and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone without hesitation. The retractable roof of the van was great and when it started to sprinkle, they were able to close it within seconds. Everything you could need was provided…snacks, beverages, even binoculars for viewing wildlife. Brian, our tour guide today was wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the area, safe driver, and made the tour very fun. He knew the best spots to view wildlife and would pull off so we could take pictures. The views were amazing and the memories we made today will last a lifetime!Written October 9, 2024

If you're looking for a luxury tour catered to what you want to see, this is your tour! While I went before any snow, this is the same tour sights and locations on the winter tour. First, the vehicle is extremely comfortable - seats, climate controlled, snacks and drinks, and absolutely great views, even if you don't leave the vehicle. The drive and comfort alone are worth the trip.
Second, Zack and Brooke know so much about the park and had such wonderful information throughout the tour, I learned so much! They were very accommodating and friendly.
Lastly, there are great sights along the drive, and we stopped at a couple of places that were absolutely stunning. Alberta Falls is gorgeous to see, and not a far hike from the parking area. If you are able to it's absolutely worth the hike to the Falls.
Sprague Lake was our other stop and just as beautiful - there is a great easy flat hike around the lake and we also saw a moose! This is a common place to see them too.
If you are visiting Estes Park this winter and want to a comfortable, detailed, friendly and unique tour, I would definitely recommend!
