We did the Silverton Jeep Tour Package on 9/28/26 and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Tim, took us to picturesque landscapes while giving us knowledge of the history surrounding the mountains of Silverton, all while it was raining I should say. Plus we were able to see and experience first hand snow falling at a higher altitude. We were given ample time to shop around town before departing on the train back to Durango. Only minor thing I would critique was that the roof cover, for the 6 seats in back, was not 99.9% waterproof because their were water drops falling from the cover while it was raining but it was no biggie for us and part of the adventure to be honest (we were given waterproof blankets to cover our bodies from the beginning). PLEASE BRING LAYERS AS MENTIONED ON THEIR WEBSITE (YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THEM)!Posted on Google![]()

Our tour to Mesa Verde with Ann as our guide was truly amazing! She was so knowledgeable, answered questions and gave us so much to think about regarding Mesa Verde. The lunch provided was filling and there were plenty of refreshments offered throughout the day. I highly recommend the full day tour! Visiting Cliff Palace is so worth it!Posted on Google![]()

Had a great tour with our guide Alec. Alec is very friendly and outgoing, and considerably knowledgeable despite his being relatively new to the area. We really appreciated the fact that he got out with us at each stop and walked/hiked with the group to each point of interest, always happy to answer any questions the group had and giving good in depth background information about the area’s history, geologic facts, etc, and always did so with a smile and great attitude. It made for a great experience for the group, and I highly recommend Mild to Wild and especially Alec.Posted on Google![]()

Great Day! We went on the Silverton Jeep tour/train tour. The train tour is not included in the price. I would highly encourage anyone taking this tour to call the Durango train people instead of trying to book online. The Jeep tour took us up to Anita's Forks an old mining town. Jay was a great tour guide and asked us what we were interested in seeing on the tour. He was a great tour guide. We liked only doing the Durango train one way as a whole day would have been wasted just on a train. We got to see Silverton and more than most of the train people.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

All Day Mesa Verde Tour We selected the Mesa Verde Full Day Tour with Cliff Palace and Lunch through Viator. Tim was our tour guide from Mild to Wild Rafting and Jeep tours. Tim was extremely professional and provided great details regarding the Mesa Verde National Park. We highly recommend this tour and Tim is our reason why. He made our day very enjoyable and we learned so much regarding the park! Tim picked us up on time from our departure location, he was a very safe and competent driver. We were very pleased with our tour and would highly recommend Tim as your tour guide!
