A cousins trip made perfect - This tour was absolutely amazing! Aaron was the perfect guide for our eclectic group. He was engaging and personable, making sure every one was comfortable while traveling. Aaron is a well travelled individual, so he was able to easily connect with everyone on the trip, which included individuals from Europe, Asia, and various parts of the U.S. He also was very knowledgeable of all things Denver and surrounding areas, and was able to easily answer our questions. Our visits to Red Rocks and Mt. Blue Sky can't be compared to anything else we've ever done. I'm still amazed at the perfection of the rock structures that make for an awesome listening experience. And who knew traveling up a 14,000+ foot mountain would be so easy? Aaron made sure to travel carefully up the mountain while sharing the backstory of the mountain and entertaining us with the perfect, singable playlist. He also made sure to check in with us regarding our well-being. Scaling a 14-er is not the easiest thing to do, but Aaron helped us manage with ease. Mount Blue Sky is so beautiful! The water in Summit Lake is pristine and the feel of the cool, mountain breeze is invigorating. Along the route, we were lucky enough to see big-horn sheep, mountain goats, a herd of elk, marmots, and ravens, none of which was guaranteed. We even saw a double rainbow on the way back. What a perfect day! It was a joy to be able to take time to stop and admire the beauty of nature. Book this trip with Aaron and make sure you leave the entire day free so you can enjoy all the tour has to offer (i.e., don't make dinner plans). Thank you, Aaron, for being so kind, fun, energetic, knowledgeable, and caring. You made this trip one for the ages! We can't wait to come back to Denver and book again!

Breathtaking views! - This was my third tour with Aspire and it’s been by far the most scenic. The views from the Mount Blue Sky are just breathtaking - as were all the stops along the way to the summit. Our guide Aaron has the wealth of knowledge about the area, the history, animal and plant life, which made me appreciate even more just how fortunate I am to be able experience the Rocky Mountains in all of its beauty. Aaron was very friendly and attentive to all of groups needs. He brought us to some gorgeous hidden spots, pointed out wild life to us, even stopped to admire and take pictures of a rainbow over the mountains 😊 He went out of his way to make this tour for all of us as special as it was possible! I would most definitely be booking with Aspire Tours again. Already can’t wait! See you next month!

Tour guide Jed was fantastic, and the route was amazing! - Our guide Jed was exceptional, the best I've ever had. He is an expert in the ecology of the area which added so much understanding to what we were seeing and experiencing. The route itself was gorgeous. The pickup and drop off locations are prime, and the company is right on time. We just might come back up here once a year and roll with Aspire. Thank you for the fantastic day.

Blue Sky Tour - This was a great trip (Blue Sky), even though the altitude got to me. Aaron was very attentive and was a great guide with lots of knowledge about the area. The tour was very nice and beautiful. And we were lucky enough to see many animals. Scott, and Patrick were very helpful as well when I accidentally booked the wrong day. To get to the very top you have to hike for about 15 mins. I just couldn't do it, I just waited for the others to get back from it. Aaron didn't mind one bit that I stayed back or anyone the wanted to. The altitude is no joke. If you like that the. I say go for it!

A Spectacular Family Day Exploring Mt. Blue Sky w/Aaron - My family with young kids had the incredible opportunity to embark on a private sightseeing tour of Mt. Blue Sky, guided by Aaron. It was the highlight of our trip! Aaron is an expert in his craft, and his knowledge of the area and passion for the natural beauty of Mt. Blue Sky were evident. We especially appreciated that when Aaron heard we wanted to visit Dinosaur Ridge during our stay, he on-the-fly, added it to our itinerary. It was so thoughtful and made the experience all the more memorable! The day was well planned, and we never would have found the views, wildlife, and hidden gems on our own. Every moment was a picture-perfect postcard. (Aaron also happens to be a great photographer, so hello, next Christmas card!) Highly highly recommend!

Fantastic Tour and Guide - What a fantastic tour. We went to Echo Lake, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, as well as Mt. Evans. We say sheep, marmots, bison and more. Our guide Jed was amazing. Not only was he wonderful to make sure we all had a great time, were safe, and not having any side effects of the altitude, he is a walking encyclopedia. Wow we learned a lot. Highly recommend this tour, and Jed as a tour guide.

A wonderful day. - I booked the Mt Evans tour but had to change to RMNP. Boy, am I glad that I did! It was a wonderful time and I got to see many different areas. Ken, our guide did an excellent job. He also had a wonderful playlist that we all enjoyed. I love that we got to see so much of the park with so little effort - just relax and enjoy the view. I was hesitant to spend 8 hours on a tour but the van was comfortable and the time flew by. Ken picked us up in Denver and we were in the park in no time.
