Ask Izzy about Rattlesnake Kate! - I have always wanted to see Red Rocks and this tour made that possible. This has the best combo of stops: Red Rocks, the Loveland Pass Continental Divide and Breckenridge! Izzy was a fantastic tour guide - great stories, including Rattlesnake Kate, and great knowledge of the area. The views from Loveland Pass were breathtaking - we were lucky to see it with fresh snowfall. Spending a few hours in Breckenridge was the perfect amount of time to ride the gondola, shop and have lunch. The day was well planned out and starting at 9 and back by 5 was perfect so you can make dinner plans back in Denver! I highly recommend this tour and ask for Izzy as your tour guide!

What an adventure! - This was our first time vising Colorado from Texas and we were on a girls trip celebrating a Birthday. We had an absolute blast! Our tour guide, Rico, was fantastic. Give that man a raise because not only was he knowlegeable, witty and engaging, but also a fantastic photographer. Basically, everything you want in a guide. He spent an equal amount of time with the each group on our tour, whether it was taking photos or just pointing out cool facts. All of the places we stopped at were breathtaking and sledding in Breckenridge was amazing. The only con was that Rico accepted tips only via Venmo or cash. No one in my group uses Venmo and we barely had cash. Get Cashapp and Zelle, my guy!! You're fantastic and should absolutely get all the tips you deserve!!

Loved the Snow - Our tour Guide Izzy was extremely knowledgeable with all the areas along the ride to Breckenridge while giving detailed history of each area. I was seated behind her and her driving skills were excellent especially when maneuvering up and down the tight curves of the mountains. Make sure that you wear shoes that are waterproof with good traction because some of the areas were iced covered. The highlight is the free gondola ride at Breckenridge with the option to go sledding. If you would like lunch at Breckenridge without breaking the bank try Downstairs At Eric great selection of specialty burgers wings and any other entree you could think of. Lastly getting back to our guide Izzy with all of her knowledge you would think that she was a seasoned employee with years doing this, but she is recent hire and should have a great future providing tours.
