Mesa Verde National Park is a scenic dreamscape of mystery and ancient wonders. Its abandoned metropolis was cultivated between 500 CE and 1300 CE. Why the ancestral Puebloans left these enchanting mesas below the Rocky Mountains is still uncertain. Our Half Day tour will show off this outdoor museum with plenty of insight into the ancient indigenous culture, the history of the Park, and more.

This was the second tour I have experienced with Mild to Wild. Both have been excellent and coincidentally my tour guide last year to the mines north of Silverton again was Lee. Lee is a phenomenal guide in all aspects. His knowledge of the area, his concern for the safety of his guests make the day most enjoyable. Mild to Wild vehicles are comfortable as well as clean. Tour left on time, stayed on schedule and we were not rushed at any of the stops. I recommend leaving from the Mild to Wild terminal in Durango to enjoy the scenery to Mesa. The plus of the tour is to leave the driving to Lee. Simply passing trough this park without a tour guide is not recommended. The park has a complex history over many years going back to year 800. Half of visiting this park is hearing the history of the 7000 plus residents and without Lee as your guide you are left to simply imagine what went on at Mesa National Park. While this park is scenic, it does not compare to other national parks in the US. What makes it truly outstanding is the history of those who lived here and their discoveries.I gave them only 1 star because they canceled my scheduled tour less than 2 days before due to not having enough participants. They offered the tour on another day, but I already had another tour scheduled. Fortunately, I was able to secure a spot with another company.

Give your driver a break and let someone else conquer the majestic drive that a visit to Mesa Verde requires. That and the parking! We are so grateful to the Mild to Wild team for making our trip easy. The Cliff Palace is one of the more ghostly places I've ever been, and Mild to Wild handled the tickets. Our guide was knowledgable about the landscape and skilled at handling the vehicle. When the wonderful tour was over our guide even provided excellent and diverse dinner advice. A perfect day out. Thanks, Mild to Wild!The best part of the visit was the tour guide. We have traveled extensively throughout the world and found our tour guide to be one of the best.

The best part of the visit was the tour guide. We have traveled extensively throughout the world and found our tour guide to be one of the best. He shared his extensive knowledge of Mesa Verdes pointing out and explaining many historical sites. We took the tour down to the Palace. A steep hike down and back. It was worth it to see the ancient structures up close. After each adventure I always ask myself would I do it again. In this case, absolutely I would do it again.We had Jay as our tour guide. He had a great personality and answered all of our questions. Very personable and got us to and from the national park safely. We will come back again. Thanks for a fabulous experience.
