James was out guide and he was amazing! His knowledge of the landmarks and history was phenomenal. He was courteous of taking pictures for us and had great spots for the best views! The roads were icy after the snowstorm but James was a very cautious driver and made us feel comfortable the entire time. He had a great route mapped out with plenty of time for taking in the beautiful scenery! This was definitely a great experience of true Colorado Beauty!

I had a spontaneous trip with Bart on 22 December. The trip was booked last minute but Bart was very punctual and organised an awesome trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park. The guy knows everything about the nature and we had seen all kinds of wildlife there! And he can also hike with you if you are good to go. It was an amazing experience!
