Ben was very informative. His driving was excellent. The places we visited were gorgeous and really worth it for half day experience.

This was a really nice 1/2 day tour. The van was full but still comfortable. The tour guide, Will, was very knowledgeable about the area and had some fun and interesting facts and history of the area. There was time to walk around at all the stops. I had signed up for the hiking tour, but there were not enough people so they offered me this instead. It was still a great chance to get out of town and see the mountains. I was staying downtown without a car so pick up and return to town was ideal.

Alex was a wealth of information and kept the group entertained. Evergreen was an ok stop. Other stops along the tour were nice

We had an excellent time on our guided tour! Our guide Anne was friendly and warm - I always appreciate learning about the history and fun facts about the places I'm visiting. I just wish we had more than 30 min at each stop since there was lots to explore.

Had a wonderful experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. He even knew what kind of brilliant “ blue” bird we were looking at.

Great experience and very educational. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely book again when I have family in town.

The tour was perfect, even the weather was in our favor. Special thanks to Stephen for sharing his passion, knowledge, patience and kindness of Colorado. He made it extra special by adapting to our needs, especially considering we were all women. He even integrated his knowledge of female history of Colorado throughout the tour. At the end we were even able to see q deer family grazing on the way down. All in all, a great tour.

Ben was a knowledgeable and fun guide. He told us its only been a year and half since he started touring. We could of swore he had been doing these tours for years. Would recommend him 100%. Thanks Ben!

"I recently joined a group tour to Evergreen, Red Rock, and Echo Lake in Colorado, and it was an absolute blast! Our tour guide, Hans, was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the places we visited, sharing fascinating insights into the history of Colorado and the geological history of the area. But what really made the tour stand out was Hans' great sense of humor - he was FUN and entertaining, keeping us laughing throughout the journey. The scenic stops were breathtaking, and Hans went out of his way to accommodate our requests, even driving extra miles so we could capture a photo of a majestic Bison! We also got to spot Elks, Moose, and more. The whole experience was filled with laughter and wonderful memories. If you're looking for a fun and informative tour in Colorado, I highly recommend this one, especially if you get Hans as your guide!"
