We were so fortunate to have Aaron as our tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about the history of Mesa Verde and the surrounding areas. We saw and understood so much more than we would have had we driven through the park on our own. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting Mesa Verde.

Lots to see. Go early if you want to visit the museum or take hikes. Museum closes at three. Afternoon sun shone on the dwellings making them easier to see and take pictures of.

Aaron was most knowledgeable about the archaeology and history of Mesa Verde and the surrounding areas. He shared things we did not hear about on other cliff dwelling tours. I would most definitely book another tour with him.

Wonderful Country! Spent 10 day together in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. We found that October is a perfect time to visit.

Our guide Neil was very entertaining and informative! Gave us the history of the people, and the cliff dwellings on the drive from Durango to Mesa Verde before we arrived. And also information while we were there at the various sights. Having an experienced guide explain things and answer questions was amazing. He supplied water, snacks, and pictures! Would definitely recommend.
