Great day in the Rockies! - Great, full day in the Rockies! Tour guide Joshua was great, lots of fun and he shared great info about areas we visited. Other folks in the group were very nice, you won't feel 'alone' if you go solo. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing views! - Had an amazing time. Jared was great and very informative! We were very comfortable on the bus/van. We had enough time in each of the locations we were taken. The views were spectacular and the weather was incredible for being end of September with the temperature almost in the 80s. I highly recommend this tour especially if you are not a hiker or someone that may have a little more trouble getting around.

Must do! - It was great to have a guide take us to the best spots. Our guide kept us out of some of the most heavily populated areas and what we experienced was breathtaking. I would definitely do this again!

Had a great trip with a... - Had a great trip with a small group and our tour guide, Jared. Jared kept the commentary throughout the tour both funny and very informative. The ride to, through the park and back to Denver was smooth and I felt completely safe; it's not a drive I'd ever attempt on my own, so felt very fortunate that Jared handled the road like a pro. Lots of great opportunities through the day for scenic views and wildlife spotting.

Wonderful day in the Rocky Mountains! - This was actually the second time husband and I have done this tour with Aspire. The first time in 2021 it was snowing in Rocky Mountain NP, which was beautiful, but we wanted to see it again without snow. Our guide this time was Gentry and she was fantastic! Lots of great knowledge, very friendly, safe driver, and an all around wonderful day enjoying the Rocky Mountains. Tasty sandwiches for lunch as well.

Nice Experience. But... - In general term the experience was good. The views of the Rocky Mountains are outstanding. Jeff, the tour guide was very courteous and demonstrated an acceptable knowledge of the area. The transportation bus is for 12 persons. It really needs to improve the audio system in the bus. Because you cannot hear the tour guide if you are seat in the back of the bus. Another area to improve could be the lunch. The sandwiches were very hard because was served very cold (adding dressing like mayo will be a plus) and the drinking water is from a container which give a plastic flavor to the water.
