      This tour is the way to see Mesa Verde
      This tour is worth every penny. We learned so much from our amazing tour guide, Neil. We wouldn't have been able to see this much of Mesa Verde on our own and would have to read multiple books to learn so much about the area and it's history. Thank you Neil for making our trip so memorable.

      Put on your bucket list
      It's amazing to see and to climb around on the Rock cliffs it's hard to believe that people actually live there and we think we have it hard today

      A fabulous trip
      The trip was fantastic, Aaron O’Brien was our guide and made this a truly exceptional experience. He is passionate about the place, and his knowledge and enthusiasm for the archeology and history made this a great experience. He was attentive to the needs and capabilities of the group, providing good information of what to expect at the sites. A great trip!

      Best tour guide for Mesa Verde
      Our tour guide Neil was the best! He is extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller. He arrived on time and supplied us with water and snacks. We learned so much about the entire park. His enthusiasm and positivity is so refreshing that we didn’t want the tour to end. He provided us with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. We look forward to requesting him again! We highly recommend Neil, you will not be disappointed!

      Our Trip to the Cliff Dwellings of Mesa Verde
      The experience exceeded our expectations...by far. Neil was very knowledgeable and interesting...you should request him when reserving. Unfortunately, my wife became ill along the way and Neil was so comforting and helpful.

      I kind of expected more than just a walk down and a couple of lectures, but my wife loved it. Would like to see more next time!

    We did the Mesa Verde tour with Neil as our guide! We hiked down into Cliff Palace and made stops at the most popular areas! Neil also happens to be a photographer and snapped some beautiful pics of us! Neil was a fantastic guide, very enthusiastic and full of interesting facts and stories pertaining to the history of mesa verde and it's people. He also provided plenty of water and snacks for our entire group!

    My wife and I just had the most amazing experience taking the full-day Mesa Verde tour with our tour guide Greg! The sights were beyond breathtaking and he was able to take us places off the beaten path, which was such a special treat. He took the time to listen at the beginning of the tour and designed a day exactly what we were hoping for. His knowledge of the area and passion for what he does shines through during the entire tour. We recommend that anyone wanting to experience Mesa Verde National Park use Mesa Verde Tours and ask for Greg, you will have a great time!

    We decided make our tour private so it could be customized to us and be as efficient as possible.

    Aaron O’Brien is an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable on archeology in general and Mesa Verde I particular. He is good at articulating the information. He is very patient in answering all questions.

    He took us through the history in a chronological order. We saw all that we wanted to see It was a great half day tour.

    I toured Mesa Verde last week. The Rangers are very knowledgeable and give a good explanation of what is known about the ancestral Pueblo an people who built these dwellings, both on the Mesa and in the alcoves below. The rebuilt pit house at the Step House makes it easy to see how they lived in the early period. I really do not understand why they moved down below. This place is magical and it brings the story of these ancient people and how they lived.

    Greg made this tour very fun and knowledgeable. His enthusiasm with the history of the Mesa and the ancestral Puebloans was contagious. Greg made this a wonderful experience for our entire family. He took a personal interest and concern for all the guests on the tour. I would highly recommend going on this historical adventure with Greg.

    Our tour guide and driver Tosh Black was wonderful! It was great hearing not only the history of the area but the plant knowledge, too! I felt fortunate to be guided by a trained biologist.
