It was great, the places are incredible and beautiful, and fortunately we got snow on the lake, our guide Anne was excellent and very friendly, I definitely recommend this tour so you can see the other part of Denver

Enjoyed The Mountains are Beautiful. Fun learning all the stories and history of areas. We took our time and was not rushed.

This is a good "sampler" of Denver mountain landscapes. The trip was convenient, informative, and a fun way to spend half the day for a short trip to Denver. Will was a great guide as he was a fun, easygoing guy with a wealth of knowledge about the area.

An very enjoyable tour up into the Rocky Mountains, which included Red Rocks Ampitheatre, the small town of Evergreen, and a wander around Echo Lake. Our guide Will had great knowledge of the area's history and it's flora & fauna. Well reccommended
