Jay was our guide. He was a fantastic guide and made it an awesome day..So glad we chose Mild to Wild as our tour company. The Cliff Palace was a bit challenging but as 70 year olds we managed it just fine. We had the option to opt out of going down to Cliff Palace but are glad we did it! Many thanks to our tour guide and our Park Ranger for the perfect day!Posted on Google![]()

While the area that you go to tour certainly provides satisfaction, it is the tour guide that can make or break the experience. Tim, was my guide for the Mesa Verde all day tour and he couldn't have made the experience any better than he did. He was so very warm and welcoming and really connected with everyone on the tour. The tour became fireside chat with Tim and his style was greatly appreciated. He has great knowledge of the area and it was quite clear that he was happy to be there with those of us on the tour. If you let me give Tim 6 stars, I would do so.
