A great intro to the area and some amazing views of the Rockies. - This was a lovely way to see some of the best viewpoints in the Rockies within a scenic drive from Denver. Our tour guide, Aaron, was fun, informative and extremely interesting. He quickly got to know each of the guests and made sure to accomodate their interests and needs. His knowledge of the geography, history, flora and fauna of the area is encyclopedic. I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasurable afternoon prior to a ski week in Colorado. The fact that our stops seemed to have been intentionally leveled by altitude made the adjustment to high altitudes more comfortable and a great intro to the area. Would definitely recommend, especially if Aaron is conducting this tour.

A must do! - We were in Denver for the weekend for the first and wanted to at least do some sights while here so we decided to do the half day tour and it did not disappoint at all! The tour in itself is amazing! Every place we went to was absolutely breathtaking! That’s the only way I can think to describe this tour and if you get lucky enough to get Jerry as your guide, you’re in for a double treat. He was so nice, very respectful, so informative and even did a little extra for us. We had the best time and would absolutely recommend this to anyone. If you are looking to find something to do I highly suggest booking this. We had a blast and probably one of the best ones we’ve done. Thank you for letting us spend the day with you.

Aaron was the best tour guide! - I loved the whole experience. We were given the opportunity to do a quick hike at the first stop. We saw sheep on side of the road. And we stopped to take a look at some buffalo and bison.

Half Day of Gorgeous Views - Aaron was an awesome guide! He shared the history and ecology of the area as we rode. This half day trip is definitely worth your time. Beautiful vistas all along the route and the stops. We saw a lot even though it was half a day!

Good short half day tour if you are pressed for time. - Good for a 4 hour half day tour. Nothing special though. Got to see a heard of bison, Idaho Springs, a frozen over Echo Lake, and Cherry Creek. Jerry (our guide) was very good and informative. Since we stayed at Winter Park prior to the tour, I think we would have preferred to do the Red Rock amphitheater tour or the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak tour instead if we had more time as we had seen similar sights already. So was a little redundant for us.
Would rate a 8/10.
