Great experience - I had a wonderful time at Breckenridge et al. Frank was an excellent guide. Had fun touching snow at the continental divide. We all learned something new, it was a great experience.

Great tour, highly recommend. - Overall excellent tour, highly recommend. I'd personally lose Georgetown and Fairplay, the latter of which is an awful little dump, which would in turn allow for an extra 45mins in Breckenridge. Red Rocks, Loveland Pass, Sapphire Lookout and Breckenridge are all worth it though.

Beautiful sightseeing day! - Had so much fun in this tour! Got to see many things except for the amphitheater because there was a graduation but our tour guide took us to a beautiful park with similar formations. Even got time to eat lunch and tour the town on our own. Definitely would recommend!

Awesome views - Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Due to accidents in the area our tour could have been compromised, however our guide made the experience memorable. Our drive home from Breckenridge was breathtaking. The highlight of my Denver trip.

Breckenridge and more - Views, views, views. Mountains and changing skies, beautiful.
Odd little stop at Sasquatch store was actually funky fun.
Less time in Breckenridge would have been fine.

Great experience - This was a great experience. Christina was an amazing tour guide sharing awesome historical info. My family and I had a great time. The only reason I wouldn’t give this 5 stars is because of the driving. We felt like at times we were driving too fast and following too closely.
