Rocky mountains - Dave, our tour guide was fantastic. He was so informative with pointing out different things with the mountains that we would never know on our own. I would recommend this company as they treat you very well with coffee, hot chocolate, snacks and knowledge employees

Wonderful Rocky Mountain Park bus tour - Wonderful tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. Our tour guide, Dave was so knowledgeable & very personal. We learned a lot and really enjoyed the open air bus. It was so nice being able to ride in the mountain air & close the top when the temperature dropped. We saw many elk & deer which just added to the experience. Definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing comfortable enjoyable experience. - I booked the tour after reading so many positive reviews. Zak was excellent. The tour was a huge highlight of our vacation. I wanted my husband to be able to sit back and enjoy instead of doing all the driving. He thoroughly enjoyed it. So much history provided as we traversed the 4 hour tour. The windows were retracted going up to the top so we had breathtaking, expansive views. It started sleeting when we almost reached the top, approx 12,400 ft. Beautiful alpine tundra. The windows were put in place and we enjoyed warm hot chocolate, tea and coffee along with snacks. Cold beverages were available too. We would highly encourage this tour. Zak was engaging and offered great knowledge and insight. We have a special needs daughter who was also super comfortable and was not bothered by heights or navigating getting in and out. Thank you sooooo much. From the warm, caring check in offering pre-departure drinks and snacks to the conclusion, we felt the value far exceeded the cost. Oh and there are bathroom facilities along the the way. Some more outdoorsy than others. 😊

Perfect! - I was on my own the day I wanted to head to the park and this was the perfect solution. Learned a ton about the ecology and history of the park, wildlife sightings and, obviously, the views can’t be beat. Our guide, Lex, was informed and friendly. The van includes creature comforts like blankets, hot chocolate and snacks.

We had Lex as our tour... - We had Lex as our tour guide and she was fabulous! Part of the trail was closed, but she made up for it and took us to different places. She spent time with each of us, and we learned a lot from her! Highly recommend!

Excellent tour group offering personal service - We had an excellent trip with Lex! She knew the area well and did everything she could to make the trip enjoyable. Even when some roads were closed due to weather, she made it a point to make sure we got the most out of our trip. We saw lots of elk, learned many things, and had a great time with the Purple Points Tour Company! I highly recommend them!

Forget the Jeeps - take this tour! - Forget the Jeeps! This is the tour you want. Comfy front-facing seats, snacks, both hot & cold beverages & blankets if needed. Glass top retracts for open-air experience but closable if weather gets nasty & does not block your view at all. Zac was an awesome tour guide! Humorous & full of knowledge about the park.

Best views - This is the best way to see RMNP! Riding in an open-air vehicle while the driver drops all kinds of RMNP knowledge is well-worth the cost of a ticket. We were very happy with our driver, Brian. He was able to close the glass for a bit while a rain shower passed through. Blankets, snacks and bathroom stops were provided. Highly recommended!
