"The trip is so much more personalized than anything else...in Estes."

Our tour guide was phenomenal! He was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating. He made what would have been an enjoyable trip anyway, a trip of a lifetime! Silly us we forgot to bring an extra battery for our camera so our guide made sure to take pictures on his equipment to send to us so we wouldn't miss out. The trip is so much more personalized than anything else you will see in Estes, I can not recommend this tour enough it is a must do!.

 "The kids kept saying how interesting his stories were..."

You must call RMNPhotographer for a tour! In the summer of 2020, I brought my nine family members, and we went on a full day tour. At first, the kids were not happy about an all-day tour, but when we were done, they were not ready for it to end. Our guide, Brad, stopped at special places in RMNP to view scenery, wildlife, and share his knowledge with entertaining stories. In 2021, I came back with a 13 member 4H group. Again, Brad was our tour guide. The kids kept saying how interesting his stories were, and how much they learned. It is well worth it no matter how many times you have done it!

"The tour is very personalized and filled with a rich history of the park..."

My wife and I were able to enjoy personal RMNPhotographer tours the past two summers. We had a fantastic experience due to our RMNPhotographer guide’s knowledge and expertise. The tour is very personalized and filled with a rich history of the park, breathtaking views, and phenomenal wildlife including elk, moose, and bighorn sheep. Our guide, Brad, was personable, kind, and has a deep passion and respect for RMNP.

"He knew where to find animals, especially the elusive Moose!"

RMNPhotographer tours is a great choice. Our guide told us endless facts and interesting tidbits about RMNP, and he knew where to find animals, especially the elusive Moose! He spotted them in not one, but in two different locations. We stopped for a good 15 minutes in each location. With my cellphone, I got great shots of a huge bull moose and a cow and its calf, wading across a stream. It doesn't get much better!
