    We have been to Colorado many times and this remains one of our very favorite things to do! You…read more just can't beat panning for gold in a river stream knowing that you are actually going to find flecks of gold and we have every time! It is so much fun! This year we did the tour of the cave and it was super super interesting me as well and my kids really loved it :-) I did too! Lastly, the chipmunks. You could literally just go for the chipmunks lol! They are so super friendly and so much fun! We cannot recommend this place highly enough!

    i'm going out of my way to write this review because this was such a cool experience. I did the…read more"Mother Lode" combo, which includes the main main tour, plus an additional mine tour, which to reach it that requires a quarter mile hike up a trail, and gold panning (after several tries I only found one tiny gold flake, but I got something!). Definitely bring sunscreen for the second tour, as you will be sitting outside in the sun for a little bit. It's cool and refreshing inside the mines, and they're full of history, right down to the wooden shafts that still have numbers painted on them from the miners of 1800s. You will learn about mining history and how harrowing and challenging it was, and see the actual tools they used, and how techniques developed over time. You will see shafts and tunnels you cannot explore but remain from days of old that inspire the imagination. You will also hear some silly ghost stories, and even see how UV light illuminates the rocks and minerals in the mines. Interested in history, gold, geology, or mining? Even if you aren't, take this tour anyway! It's well worth it, and the guides do a great job.

    My family and I hired Green Jeep Tours for a private excursion into Rocky Mountain National Park…read more The 8 of us piled into the converted jeep and enjoyed a 7+ hour day of adventures. Our driver and guide Michael was an absolute star, tailoring the trip to our interests. Because we booked a private tour, we got picked up and dropped off directly from our cabin! Michael was super knowledgeable of the park itself, the ecosystems, flora and fauna. He shared lots of stories about historical figures who influenced this area in Colorado. We went to several lakes, waterfalls, and hiked in several different spots. We got to see lots of wildlife - moose, elk, deer, marmot, chipmunks, pikas, and lots of birds! The day trip was a highlight of our time in Estes Park and we're so thankful for the special care Michael showed our family. We had a variety of mobility amongst the members of our group and he was very accommodating to our needs.

    Highly recommend to anyone! Our group of two was paired with a group of four--three adults and one…read morelittle. The little did just fine in the car seat in the backseat of the jeep while the rest of us rode in the open back. Chance was an incredible guide telling us facts and funny anecdotes (and dad jokes) along the way. He also jumped out with us on each of the stops inside of the park. Grab a bathroom break and drinks/snacks before you head out near the office. There are primitive bathrooms along the way.

    Our day with the owner/guide Yorke (pronounced "York") Fearon far exceeded our expectations. We…read moreonly had one day in Fort Collins, Colorado (USA) and Majestic Mountains Scenic Rides was just the ticket to maximize our time there. Yorke picked us up at our hotel for an 8-hour tour. He drives a clean, comfortable passenger van stocked with water, snacks, hand-sanitizer, tissues, and a picnic lunch. I don't know much about commercial vehicles, but this is one where you can stand up -- which helped our middle aged bodies navigate in and out. Yorke is an educated historian and has an amazing knowledge of the area, including anecdotes about founding families, homesteaders, and how the landscape has changed/stayed the same since the Ute tribes dominated the area. He has memorized tons of fun facts and is obviously doing what he loves every single day. We told Yorke we really hoped to see a moose. Although wildlife does not give command performances, he knew exactly where to look and persisted until we saw a huge bull moose grazing not far from the road. Beautiful! Halfway through the 8-hour tour, we stopped at a Visitors Center where we enjoyed an outdoor picnic Yorke prepared with ingredients from his own garden. Fresh tomatoes and beets along with a yummy salad, chips, and a selection of ingredients to make our own sandwich on bread or large-leaf lettuce. (Worth Noting: The Visitor's Center had the only flush toilets of the day, so ... if you're not a fan of outhouses or doing your business outdoors, you'll want to regulate your fluid intake accordingly). At $90 per person for an 8-hour experience, you are certainly not guaranteed a private tour; we lucked out! But, we would have paid more for the privilege had we known how great it was to have the time and Yorke's expertise all to ourselves. We got out when we wanted to, explored, and took pictures to our heart's content. Yorke mentioned that some of his customers are elderly folks who just want to get up in the mountains for a half- or full-day and need a driver as well as someone to assist them in and out of the vehicle. He also takes small tour groups, and has even contracted with a few customers to do overnight camping trips where he drives, brings the food, sets up the tents, and basically does all the work for you so you can enjoy the mountains at any age or fitness level. His personality seems well-suited to go-with-the-flow for whoever he may have on his tour. If you want personalized service from a smart, kind, outdoorsy "former hippie" (his words), then Yorke at Majestic Mountains Scenic Rides is your guy.

    My son and I took the Cache La Poudre Tour today. We had an unforgettable day, enjoyed the…read morebeautiful views, learned a lot about the history of the area and the people who chose to settle in. Yorke went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable: clean and spacious vehicle, snacks and drinks, adjusting the temperature in the car, photo opportunities and bathroom stops. You can feel how passionate he is about the area and enjoys sharing his love with his guests. I would highly recommend his tours and hope to take additional tours in the future.
