Amazing guide and wonderful experience - Anne was an amazing tour guide. She had incredible knowledge of all the sites and was so wonderful with our kids.
Our private tour was the best we have ever had and we are actually planning on returning to Denver because of how she made us feel .

Wonderful marvel of nature - Even with an overcast day, it was a marvel to behold. Parking, hiking, gift shop and music history museum, as well as a covered site for lunch-all was grand. The amphitheater closes at 2 pm on event days, so we heard the sound check for that night's concert! Worth the visit~

Great tour and amazing scenery!! - My friends and I had such a fun time with our tour guide Anne. She showed us around the RedRocks Amphitheater explaining the geology and music history of the area. Can’t wait to return for a concert! We then drove down Lookout Mountain into Golden. This drive was breathtakingly. In Golden we walked along the river while learning the town’s history. Last stop was at a local coffee shop for coffee and a scone. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Anne and highly suggest this fun and interesting tour!

Red Rocks Tour - Took a tour of the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. It’s an awe-inspiring venue nestled between massive red sandstone rocks. Its natural acoustics and breathtaking scenery make it a must-visit destination for music lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. taking a tour here is an unforgettable experience. This place perfectly blends the beauty of the outdoors with the magic of live performances. I’m excited to see a concert here. Our tour guide was amazing. 5 stars.

Great First Day in Colorado! - Just had the best experience with Kristina on a private Red Rocks & Golden driving tour. From the details in the days before to the curbside pickups, Kristina made this tour feel effortless and FUN! She mixed history, geology, and culture to appeal to all ages - our tour included a 45yo, 74yo, 9yo and 12yo. She catered the sights and stops to kids and adults and even wrangled the kiddos on all 380+ steps at Red Rocks (while Mom and Nanny rested) and helped them take a magical photo! She kept the conversation comfortable, but informative. Loved all the little nuggets of information she shared, sometimes even making connections to our home in PA. She gave the kiddos special assignments to look for on the road too! The loved the Teeny Tiny Art tour! She even shared her sunscreen when ours was left behind on the kitchen table. We could have toured all day with Kristina...it felt like our typical road trips without the stress! Highly recommend!
