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![]()

Mesa Verde full day tour Our tour guide was Ann. She was extremely knowledgeable about Mesa Verde and the area. Our group was small - 7 total. The lunch was filling and there were more than enough beverages available for our day. You definitely need a full day at Mesa Verde to experience it. The cliff palace tour was amazing!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great , friendly group of 10. We enjoyed each site and each other Lucky day since it was suppose to rain. Instead it was a lovely, warm day with a beautiful breeze. The light on the cliff dwellings was bright and showed the cliffs off.
