Denise took my husband and me on a private tour of Mesa Verde. Her passion, her advanced degrees, and expertise in anthropology, archaeology, geology made for a very exciting day. Was our first time with the Durango Rivertrippers but will not be our last! Thank you, Denise!

Great experience with excellent customer service. We were contacted in advance of our tour so that we knew what to expect and to answer any questions. Our guide, Denise, was superb. She was highly informed about the history and geology of the area and had previously performed archeological field work. Her prior fieldwork experience added that something extra to the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.Cliff Palace was an awe-inspiring site to visit and learn about. While the hike is definitely not for someone with height fears or anyone that cannot descend steep steps or climb a ladder, it was doable for someone in relatively good physical shape.

Cliff Palace was an awe-inspiring site to visit and learn about. While the hike is definitely not for someone with height fears or anyone that cannot descend steep steps or climb a ladder, it was doable for someone in relatively good physical shape. My husband and I are thrilled that we got to visit this well-preserved abandoned cliff dwelling. We would love to be able to visit again some day.This tour was amazing!

This tour was amazing! With the expansive knowledge of our guide whose name tag appropriately said, "Denise, Interpretive Archaeologist". We wanted to see these incredible dwellings, but more than that we were interested in the history and culture of the people. Denise was our personal guide for the day, her appreciation and respect for the indigenous people were so apparent. She could answer nearly any question we asked, and she shared stories from her days as a working archaeologist. We covered a lot of territory and saw such a wide range of ruins. The day was fascinating and the trip was one of a lifetime. Thank you Denise for sharing with us!!
