Beyond worth it - This tour went beyond expectations. I can’t even begin to thank the guides for such an awesome experience. Everything was spectacular. Got to see bison and elk and the breweries were great. The routes we took were beautiful. Awesome vibes all around.

Awesome Tour, Aaron is Awesome! - Aaron our tour guide was AMAZING! He’s very knowledgeable, a great time, and awesome personality. The breweries he picked for the day were great, the views were awesome during the drive. Would definitely do it again if I’m ever in Colorado. Thank you so much for a great experience Aaron, you made up for our bad experience at Red Rocks.😂 (Red Rocks is awesome, not the venues or staffs fault we got lost.)

Great Brews & Amazing Views - Our driver, Isabel was very friendly and hospitable. She drove us to three different craft breweries in the greater Denver area. We met a nice group of people driving around on this day trip. I would highly recommend this relaxed, fun day trip. The brews were great and the views were amazing.

Incredible September Brews and Views Tour - Our brews and views tour was amazing! My husband and I love beer so we had a great time traveling around with a group to more of the local spots that you might not think to go to. Our tour guide Aaron was the best. He is so knowledgable about beer, all the best spots in Denver and Colorado history. We had a lot of fun traveling around with him.

Fun Brews and Views - Isabella was an excellent tour guide. The first brewery, Westbound and Down was the best. The town was nice and beer was really good. It was an easy way to visit different small towns that you probably wouldn't go to.

Driver Rant Part 3 - Good Afternoon,
I was also on the trip mentioned by the last two reviewers. The accounts of the trip are completely accurate but very lenient. I contacted the company following the trip because I was in shock over the drivers behavior but didn’t want to write a review and speak negatively about this experience if it’s an isolated incident. I did receive a returned call and promised a follow up that never happened. My husband and I have taken numerous tours all over the world including wine, beer, food, etc. I have never experienced such disrespect and shocking behavior from a tour driver. He is clearly not suited for tourism. I was sitting on the third row and could hear everything from the front and back of the small bus. Along with all of the actions already mentioned, the driver said “this is why no one likes tourists “ and “if you disrespect me, then this is what you get in return “. The majority of the patrons were older and all were reserved. There was nothing that should have triggered this behavior. No one was blatantly intoxicated and most of us barely had 1.5 beers because we made three stops with very limited time. I hope this is an isolated case and the company makes sure that it doesn’t happen in the future. I too was afraid he would crash the bus because he told us “this is a busy road and I’m trying to get you back” (in a not so calming tone).
