I will be visiting Mesa Verde in July or August and wanted to get a little more information. I am looking at tours, but I do have a fear of heights.

I too have a fear of heights, but survived both Balcony House (barely) and Cliff Palace (more easily) and hiked Petroglyph Trail. I wouldn't recommend any of them if you also have a balance problem. I have not visited Long House. You can get a good view of Spruce Tree House from the back of the Ranger's cabin by the Museum. I was only there for part of one day, so don't have other advice.
Is long house included in the 700 years tour or do you have to book a separate tour for it?
A:
Long House is on Wetherill Mesa, only open in summer, but check with website or Facebook and, yes, you have to get a tour. You will be walking on the Mesa and walking on the ruin.
