Julie behind the desk was a treasure, Kevin our tour guide was over-the-top knowledgeable, and Frito the owner was thorough when giving trails he'd recommend we take. Frito also called us post trip to report that we left a nominal item in the jeep and said he'd hold it for us! We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated them all and would highly recommend. Oh yeah, my wife just reminded me that their greeter (Mumford the cat) was the best. - Brian & Jill

The Jeep Rubicon we rented was just what we needed to get around. We headed out to Yankee Boy basin on the evening we received the Jeep. Then we headed out in the morning and went up Old Ophir pass on the way to Telluride. Very beautiful! Then after lunch we headed up corkscrew gulch up to Lake Como and Las Animas on down to Silverton. Not for the faint of heart! So much fun!!

My family and I booked a half-day jeep tour to visit Yankee Boy Basin with San Juan Jeep Tours…read more Before my trip to Ouray, I reviewed a few of the local tour outfitters, but after reading all the great reviews about San Juan Jeep Tours and finding out that they have been in business the longest - I was sold on this outfitter being the one. We arrived at 8:45AM for our 9AM start time and filled out our waivers and were directed to Keith's vehicle (an extended bed pickup truck with 3 bench seat rows). Our group consisted of 11 people (adults and kids) and we all fit within the seating without issue. Keith gave us a brief overview of the trip and we were off... Keith is a fantastic guide and made sure to stop at various spots along the tour to lend historical insights plus to allow the tour group to take photographs. About halfway up to the Yankee Boy Basin, the skies finally opened on us (had been a gray, overcast sky all morning). But Keith and the San Juan Jeep Tour outfit was prepared! Keith doled out ponchos to all of the tour group, plus put a tarp over the open seating area in about 45 seconds flat!!! Luckily the rain stopped about 45 minutes later, and the tarp came off... to showcase the absolute beauty of Yankee Boy Basin! The return trip to Ouray (from the Basin) took about 45 minutes and we were back where we started just before 1PM. Again folks... I cannot recommend this tour outfitter enough! Plus, if you can get onto a tour with Keith - you will be in for a treat! And please, please tip your tour guide(s) appropriately!

Kevin was kind, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly. He shared so much interesting information about the area while making sure everyone felt safe and had a great time. What really stood out was how wonderful he was with our kids. He kept them engaged, made the adventure fun, and by the end they were already asking when they could go again! Kevin truly made the experience special for our whole family. If you're looking for an unforgettable Jeep tour in Telluride, we can't recommend him and Telluride Off-Road Adventures highly enough. Thank you for such an amazing day!

He was knowledgeable, funny, patient, and especially great with our kids, which made the whole experience enjoyable for our entire group, from our young children all the way to my parents. The tour took us to Bridal Veil Falls, the tallest waterfall in Colorado, and then to an incredible overlook with one of the most breathtaking views of Telluride. We never would have experienced these places the same way on our own. Riding in the restored 1970s Austrian military 6x6 Pinzgauer was an adventure all by itself. The truck handled the terrain unbelievably well, and the ride struck the perfect balance of excitement without ever feeling unsafe. It was just enough adrenaline for the kids while still being comfortable for my parents. If you're visiting Telluride, I can't recommend Dave's Mountain Tours enough. It was fun, scenic, family-friendly, and absolutely worth it. Ask for Grant if you can!!
