Phil was a great tour guide! He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us plenty of time at each stop. He even threw in an unexpected stop to see some dinosaur fossils. I highly recommend this tour!

We will do it again , no doubt! You guys did an excellent job . Good memories from our first trip to Colorado ! Thanks 🙏🏻

We had a great time on this tour! Not only were we part of a very small group of 4, which made the experience very personalized, but our guide was a local Coloradan that knew a lot about the state and told many us interesting stories and facts. The best part of the tour was Red Rocks park. I wish we had slightly more time there to see the museum. We liked the hike around dinosaur ridge too and all the explanations about the history of it. The stop at Golden was too short - we only had time to do a small walk around the river. Would have liked more time there to explore. The Buffalo Bill museum and grave was ok but not as interesting as the other stops, so I would almost eliminate it to create more opportunity for longer stays elsewhere. Finally, it was amazing seeing the bison at the end and hearing about the haunted house on the grounds. We’re very happy we took this tour while in Denver for only a few days - got to see a lot of beautiful nature in a short amount of time!

The tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Not only did she know about the landmarks, but also general knowledge about the area and beyond. I had a wonderful time!

We were a little concerned about the tour initially since the Denver area had just experienced its biggest snowfall in three years, but it turned out to be the most beautiful and perfect day! Our guide, Alex, was very informative and allowed just the right amount of time in each location for guests to experience the area. I'd love to come back to Denver and do the same tour in the warmer months, to see it both ways!

Helen_G

Seeing the red rocks and the mountains. Phil was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time

Gabriel B

Nice tour if you have just a few hours to see some of Denver's attractions. The tour guide was very friendly, sharing interesting information of venues history. He drove safely as it was snow in the road and made the tour very comfortable.

This was a great day trip while visiting Denver! Took in beautiful sights and enjoyed the commentary provided by the guide throughout the drive. I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a fun excursion in the city.

Luciano_D

Great ride, our guide was great! She was very friendly and had so much information to share about the Foothills. Too bad the weather made it so we couldn't get any good views, however our guide tried to make the trip enjoyable the best she could considering the weather.
