Seeing the wildlife. Also the magnificence of the Park. And the history of the Park shared by Brad Manard our guide. All tol is was a wonderful morning. Special thanks to Brad.

A wonderful tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

We started our day a little bit earlier than planned because our guide Mike wanted to give us more opportunity to see animals while they were moving around the park. We enjoyed our time with him and would definitely recommend doing this tour. He took time to explain a lot of things, share history and information that was important to learn about the park and the wildlife there. He was also willing to take plenty of pictures!

Picture perfect!

Outstanding! Our guide, Dave did a great job of showing us some amazing sights in RMNP. The added bonus was all the history he shared about the park’s beginnings and major events like the great flood in the 1980’s and the almost devastating fire in 2020. It was a wonderful way to start our visit to Estes Park. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Great overview of the park

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a great time! Marcos our tour guide gave us some history of the area, as well as info on animal behavior, flora/fauna, geology, etc. He drove our car through the park so we could enjoy the views- stopping a few times to see falls and scenic overlooks. On our own we would have never attempted some of the dirt road switch backs. We had a good overall intro to the park & could then later focus on some hikes in the Bear Lake Corridor.

Gorgeous scenery and wildlife with knowledgeable and passionate guides. Highly recommend!

Published on Sep, 2024

What a wonderful experience we had last weekend with Brad and Dave of RMNPhotographer tours! We booked two half day tours (Lakes and Meadows and Mountain to Sky) and were able to really explore the beauty, wildlife, geology, and history of RMNP, thanks to the passion, knowledge, and enthusiasm of Brad and Dave. Brad took us on a lovely hike that was perfect for our 6 year old son (and that we loved too!) and gave us the chance to experience incredible wildlife viewing of the elk rut. Dave took us on an exciting walk (safely and respectfully) tracking moose. We saw scat, tracks, and even beds where the elk has slept, which was almost more exciting than actually seeing moose themselves. He totally engaged our curious kid and was amazingly generous with his time and deep knowledge of nature and the park. Between the two tours we were able to make the absolute most of our short time at the park. Brad and Dave know every inch of the park and were able to share the best experiences in a really seamless and organized way. As newcomers to the area we could never have managed to see and experience as much on our own, and it was fantastic to have them drive the car so we could all relax and enjoy. I highly recommend this tour company!
