Wow, wow, wow!!! We did the panoramic view tour in the Hummer and it was spectacular! The ride was invigorating and gorgeous views and amazing variety of gorgeous plants and trees. Our guide, Wayne was the best guide I have ever experienced on an adventure tour. He was patient and very safe in telling us what he was doing on the drive. His knowledge of the plants and trees was such a bonus and I learned so much. It doesn't hurt that his sense of humor was actually good with his bad dad jokes. Will definitely come back and try other tours and hope we get Wayne again!
This was an amazing day. Wayne was our guide and he was very knowledgeable , friendly and funny. What we really appreciated is that it was authentic. Not that, I'm a tour guide, and I'm just here, doing a job. He really loves his job. The actual ride was fun and exhilarating. The views were breathtaking. We will be booking through wild side in the future. Keeping our fingers crossed that we get Wayne again.
C.E. was an amazing guide. We had a wonderful experience. I fell going down to see the beautiful Waterfall . I saw the beautiful Waterfall and then he helped me all the back up to the tour vehicle.He bandaged my knee and kept checking on me . We saw many Mule deer, Elk and Marmot .The views were absolutely amazing.
We went on a Rocky Mountain Winter Adventure at the beginning of February 2026. It was the off-season for Estes Park, but the weather was beautiful. There was only 3 of us other than the tour guide. Our tour guide, CE was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and willing to make the tour whatever we wanted it to be! We saw deer, elk, and various birds. Again, this was the off-season, so may be able to spot more in different times of the year. We were offered snacks, water, and hot chocolate. There was little snow, but we were able to sled! All in all, would recommend this tour/excursion to anyone looking to experience the Rocky Mountain National Park!
This was the worst experience ever. We requested Dan and we were told we would have Dan. The day of we show up with 19 people I find out we won't have Dave and Jessica the lady at the front was like oh no one called you!? Umm no cause we would if either cancelled or rescheduled. We paid a total of 1700 for everything and it was sub par. Our driver played sad music that makes you want to cry. And the one we picked was the rockin roller coaster which is literally EXACTLY like the night time s'mores one. When I talked to the owner she was no help either. Overall I won't ever go back there because of the lack of communication and the lame driver we had that played the worst music. Everyone that was on our car which was 13 of us kept complaining about the music and with each time he changed it, it just got worse. If you're off roading in a big humvee you want some rock or some up beat music. If you end up getting Keith I would absolutely cancel your ride! This will be the LAST time I waste my money on this establishment. Update to owners response, one you NEVER said he was off on Mondays for one! So you can quit lying there, two you offered me two options one a free ride and two my money back. I refused both because I why would I ride AGAIN with a company that lies. My sister was in the room when we had the whole conversation so you can stop lying at anytime to save the reputation of your business. Three I stayed till myself and kept quite the whole time so that I didn't get rude with anyone. Y'all are liars and it's sad. The owner of the company which was a lady I talked to after she kept trying to keep me in her office after I refused a refund and then finally after the 3rd time you offered me a refund I finally siad fine I'll take the refund she then says oh I have to ask my husband . This company is full of liars and I would NEVER spend my money with a lying company like this Update again to the owner! One you NEVER told me he was off on Mondays. So you guys can really quit lying cause when we walked in and you told us he was sick so which is it, is he sick or was he off cause I have 5 of my family members in the office when you said it so again you're a liar. two I kept trying to leave because I was never looking for a refund only to let her know how our experience was. Which was trash!!! And everyone on Keith's humvee that was with me agrees. So if 13 people are wrong then so be it but you can't dismiss OUR experience. Which was again TRASH! And yes I have EVERY right to be upset when you lie and tell two different stories about Dan. You have cameras in the office why don't you post them and prove me as a liar. Then when I finally agreed to a refund your wife's tune changes. Y'all are a joke and idc if you're a 5 star business. I absolutely gave yall a zero. And if me being quite their whole ride makes me rude then I guess I'm rude and I'll take that title! I have 13 people to corroborate my story. Stop being liars and if you offered me a refund and I accepted it then where is my refund you said you offered. Still waiting on that refund. Have a nice day liars!
I cannot speak more highly of Wildside!!! Our Jeep tour was the #1 highlight of not only Estes Park, but our whole Colorado trip! Our guide Aaron was absolutely incredible. Funny, knowledgable, so passionate about what he does, the nature, the wildlife, trees, everything. Even checking in at headquarters was a joy - everyone working was so happy, friendly, welcoming, and wonderful. Instant mood booster! Aaron customized our tour to what we were interested in / what we wanted to see and it was nothing short of spectacular. We saw hundreds of elk, a MOOSE, birds, deer, waterfalls, just so much wildlife. We had visited the park that morning for a few hours and went to totally different places that we would have never seen otherwise. Do not look further than Wildside to make your trip exceptional!
We had a blast. Our guide Wesley the Bearded Wonder was awesome. He is very knowledgeable and more importantly, did a killer wookie impression. If you are in Estes Park, this is a must do.
Wayne did a phenomenal job leading us through an unforgettable adventure on the TOP OF THE WORLD TOUR. When I was planning my family trip, I received a lot of negative comments telling me this would be a waste of money since I also have a rental car. I am so glad I DIDNT listen! The knowledge is invaluable. From learning about medicinal plants to history and even a love story, we were entertained and amazed the entire trip. No amount of photos can truly capture the elegance and grandeur your eyes will witness, therefore if you are on the edge about making that reservation- click that book now button and get ready for a great adventure. Thank you Wayne for being so accommodating and making my family feel at home.
I would give Dave, our tour guide, 10 stars if I could. He was everything we needed and wanted in a tour guide (and then some). I can't say enough great things about this tour from start to finish. We were in Estes Park for the week with my parents who have mobility concerns. Before we booked, we expressed some of our concerns to the owner who responded promptly. Talk about a great start! The day of the tour, Dave was energetic and entertaining. The custom-made jeeps were perfect for the trip, and Dave provided an incredible wealth of information. Weather prevented us from our expected tour (Top of the World), but he quickly redirected us and found other areas to explore instead. We have no regrets! Remember what I originally asked about my parents? Dave went out of his way to make sure my father could get on and off the jeep, assisting throughout the tour. That alone is incredible! We won't hold his Chicago preference over him, though I suppose I should deduct some points for that (I kid, I kid). Seriously - this tour was simply wonderful, and we had no regrets. We had spent 4 days in RMNP prior to the jeep tour, and we still loved every minute of it!
We had such an amazing tour guide Jim who was so knowledgeable and kind. He made sure everyone was comfortable, hydrated, and could hear him. Jim also offered to take photos to help us capture this beautiful moment.This tour beat our of our expectations! What an amazing day!
Our guide, Alexis, was TERRIFIC! Full of knowledge and such a skilled driver. She provided a perfect experience for everyone. Our 7 year old even said he'd give her "a million" rating!

We signed up for the Panoramic Peaks Tour for Tuesday September 15. When we got there we found out that we would be the only 2 on the tour. We lucked into a private tour of Roosevelt National Forest. Our guide, Jay was very personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He seemed like a cool guy, relatable and interesting. He took us to a "super secret" spot, showed us some incredible views and schooled us up on the trees and animals who live there. The tower was impressive. We heard a lot more stories and facts there. As we left the tower he asked us, "since it's just the two of you, you can chose, do you want to go back and see more panoramic views or do you want to take the roller coaster back?" We chose the later. It was an absolute crazy time! Jay was really good at reading "the room". As we finished that segment he told us that he usually drives twice that fast. Holy wow. What he offered during the whole 3 hour adventure was perfect! This was definitely a highlight of our trip! read more

We did the ROCK'N ROLLER COASTER tour with Sid as our tour guide. This was a great time. Sid was very knowledgeable about the forest, the trail, the vehicle and nature. He made the entire tour an adventure. Took us to many locations that without the 4x4 would otherwise be inaccessible. On top of all that, he was very personable and was able to relate stories to what we were seeing. Answered all of our questions. Wild animals, aspen groves, scenic vistas, history. It's all here. The vehicle itself was awesome. Custom designed/built by the tour company. Very comfortable. Always felt safe. Sid drove it like a pro. Being the "Rock'n Roller Coaster" tour, going fast and listening to rock-n-roll was part of it. Oh boy, was that cool!. Some of the inclines/declines seemed formidable, but Sid had no worries. If you want a fun tour with plenty of information and photo ops, this is it! read more

Chris, I am so sorry that happened to your family. We have total…
Super awesome tour! The lady at the front desk is super nice, very informative and so welcoming. We also had a blast with joe. He was informative and very knowledgeable in a whole bunch of stuff around Estes park. We got to drive around when the snow was going at it hard so everything was even more beautiful. It was our first time in Colorado and if it's your first time in Estes park I recommend this tour. We got to see a bunch of animals around and even got to go inside the Estes state park and got to see more snow than I've ever seen (Dallas, Texas). As the tour continued, joe had a variety of snacks like of chips, salt crackers, protein bars and all accompanied with a cooler full of sprite and Cokes and water. Aside from that the tour is also BYOB so we took a few brewskis to enjoy the ride even "better"! At the end of the scenic route we where took to a side of a mountain where you could ride down with some sleighs. They provide extra clothes incase you brought jeans or some other type of clothes not made to get wet and at the very end of it all they provide some homemade hot chocolate. Can't beat that!!! To me, this is a place that knows how to run a business. Very friendly, helpful, accommodating people made us feel right at home. Place is sort of small, but very homey, clean, and has seats. Restroom is a shared space between other business surrounding it, so don't expect it to be so clean. Restrooms are available in the mountain when you sleigh I would recommend using before getting in the vehicle or holding it till you get to the mountain. read more

If I could leave 6 stars I would. A friend recommended this business to us for an off road 4X4 excursion up in Estes Park. We are SO glad they did! Everything about it was perfect, from booking to the end of it. We booked the Panoramic Peak Photo Tour, considered a moderate off road excursion. It was perfect! A HUGE shout out to our driver/guide Sadie-she was so knowledgeable, so fun-you could tell she really enjoyed her job. The truck was fabulous with just a tiny bit of roller coaster-y action (however, definitely empty your bladder before you hop on!) The tour was 3 1/2 hours and we went all over! I learned more about Aspens than I ever knew, we enjoyed incredible views and had fun the entire time. I would recommend this company to anyone! read more

Wow! Wow! Wow! This tour/activity is a MUST while in Estes Park, Colorado. The tour guides Dan and Phil are very knowledgeable and entertaining. You go right in to the heart of Rocky Mountain National Park and the views and wildlife you get to see are breathtaking, as well as the rivers, waterfalls and trees. Do yourself a favor and book this tour. Five Stars!!! Pro tip: book ahead online. Reservations fill up fast especially in peak seasons. Dress in layers because you will experience big shifts in temperatures. read more

What to say about life on the WildSide? I must admit, it was my first time. I stepped aboard the Toyota Super Cruiser accompanied with some nerves. What would we do from 9:30 in the morning to 1 pm in this contraption? Fears aside, I pulled the trigger, and sat riding shotgun alongside my tour guide: Captain Dan. Those three and a half hours quickly became a blur as I was suddenly immersed in a constant flow of spoken knowledge coming from Captain Dan. Historically, he was well versed, speaking on the impact and legacy of the Stanley brothers. Ecologically, he may have been better, rattling off fact after fact (did you know the bark of Aspens contains Chlorophyll?!) And finally, in terms of age appropriate humor, he was well timed (a rare trait) with every joke and invited guest participation. Of course, the sights were incredible. It's Rocky Mountain National Park. But it's the hospitality of the guides that take these places from adequate to excellent. Based on my experience with Dan and the reviews of other fellow guests, WildSide 4x4 falls into the latter category. Also, shoutout to Cliff who seemed like a great guy. read more

Hello Megan! Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled to…
We did the top of the world tour. Floyd was our guide and he absolutely made the tour fantastic! He's super knowledgeable and gives lots of interesting facts with lots of back story and at the same time puts some fun flare to it. I will say if you're going when it's cold... dress extremely warm because it was super cold. I had a blast though! read more
