My daughter and I were in CO for five days exploring colleges and we really wanted to see more of the state than just campuses. We both love to hike and explore and this was a fun way to see more and not have to drive! Gable, our tour guide was delightful. I highly recommend!
I live in Denver and decided to take a tour to see the foliage. I learned great information about Colorado and had a wonderful time. Our guide Jed was extremely knowledgeable and the trip ran smoothly as planned (except minor traffic on the way home - which is expected on the peak weekend).
Beautiful scenery as well as itinerary. As usual everything went smoothly and on time. Our tour guide Mike was the greatest. He made you feel like you were traveling with an old friend.
Did not get a chance to do it. We were very, very disappointed. The tour company canceled the tour. They suggested another tour, but it was not no where compatibility. That tour did not cover what the tour reading was either. We need a re-fund.
We had the best time. Jerry is the absolute best. He tried to make sure each person was having a good day. He was so attentive, thoughtful and just really sweet. This is a really great tour. Highly recommend.
Our tour guide Rico was really enthusiastic, personable, and knowledgeable on our tour. My family and I had the best time. I 10 out of 10 recommend!
Amazing tour, you learn a lot about Denver. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions as well as gave recommendations for things to do during our visit. Would definitely recommend.
The drive was beautiful. The whole thing was so fun and absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. And my tour guide Ricardo aka Rico, he was so amazing. So knowledgeable of the area and just a good person and amazing tour guide. He definitely pulled out all the stops for us.
The aspens were in the full fall golden glory! We chose this week for a vacation specifically in the hopes of catching the Aspens like this. We timed it right!
I have always wanted to see Red Rocks and this tour made that possible. This has the best combo of stops: Red Rocks, the Loveland Pass Continental Divide and Breckenridge! Izzy was a fantastic tour guide - great stories, including Rattlesnake Kate, and great knowledge of the area. The views from Loveland Pass were breathtaking - we were lucky to see it with fresh snowfall. Spending a few hours in Breckenridge was the perfect amount of time to ride the gondola, shop and have lunch. The day was well planned out and starting at 9 and back by 5 was perfect so you can make dinner plans back in Denver! I highly recommend this tour and ask for Izzy as your tour guide!
Izzie was a great host and added a lot of personal touch to her information she shared about the area we visited. We had a BLAST sledding!
Great tour! many photo opportunities & just enough time to do everything. I highly recommend this tour if you want to relax and let someone else do the driving. Great tour guides this is my 2nd time using this tour company and won’t be my last !
The Tour was an Incredible experience! Our tour guide Rico made this tour so enjoyable from start to finish. This tour is a must see ! Amazing views anywhere you go. scenic tour was spectacular and Rico’s Knowledge of the areas made the travel from Denver to Breckenridge super easy, like you were listening to a Great Podcast with Great conversation!! Overall is 5/5 Star Tour !!! If you’re in the fence about this tour? Don’t think about it Just Do It !!!
This was our first time vising Colorado from Texas and we were on a girls trip celebrating a Birthday. We had an absolute blast! Our tour guide, Rico, was fantastic. Give that man a raise because not only was he knowlegeable, witty and engaging, but also a fantastic photographer. Basically, everything you want in a guide. He spent an equal amount of time with the each group on our tour, whether it was taking photos or just pointing out cool facts. All of the places we stopped at were breathtaking and sledding in Breckenridge was amazing. The only con was that Rico accepted tips only via Venmo or cash. No one in my group uses Venmo and we barely had cash. Get Cashapp and Zelle, my guy!! You're fantastic and should absolutely get all the tips you deserve!!
Our tour Guide Izzy was extremely knowledgeable with all the areas along the ride to Breckenridge while giving detailed history of each area. I was seated behind her and her driving skills were excellent especially when maneuvering up and down the tight curves of the mountains. Make sure that you wear shoes that are waterproof with good traction because some of the areas were iced covered. The highlight is the free gondola ride at Breckenridge with the option to go sledding. If you would like lunch at Breckenridge without breaking the bank try Downstairs At Eric great selection of specialty burgers wings and any other entree you could think of. Lastly getting back to our guide Izzy with all of her knowledge you would think that she was a seasoned employee with years doing this, but she is recent hire and should have a great future providing tours.
The day was fun and loved the Amphitheater and Breckenridge. Izzy was professional, sweet and knowledgeable. She really went out of way to accommodate us throughout the day and provided lots of information.
The driver made it interesting, safe…and super fun. He was very helpful and very patient. Gave us a lot of tips on where to go yo eat and what to do to size the time.
Our tour guide Izzy was delightful. Lots of fun facts about Denver, mixed in with great recommendations on unique things to eat and do. The drive took us pass breathtaking views. Highly recommend sledding in Breckinridge. Izzy had a few sleds for us to use! I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to enjoy the mountains without too much hassle.
This trip is a must see for people who want to see the beauty of the Denver mountains without hiking or driving. Gorgeous views on the way to the stops, Izzy our guide super informative and friendly and opportunities to go sledding and ride the gondola in Breckinridge. Wear shoes with good traction!
We had Jeb as our tour guide and he did a fantastic job. He took his time to explain the history behind the sights. He was very personable and helpful with great ideas for food spots and made sure we were all safe. My rating is based solely on the price value of the tour.
The tour was great and we loved all of the stops. Our tour guide was very nice and super knowledgeable. Only issue was we needed at least an hour more in Breckenridge.
Steve was a great tourist. Great tour!! I would definitely recommend this tour on your trip to Denver!
Steve was an Amazing tour guide, he was excellent in every way. He looked out for everyone's best interest, he was patient, kind, and full of knowledge about historical and relevant facts about the city. He even called us when we got lost, took pictures for us and helped us find everything we needed.
Jed was a great guide, he is really knowledgeable about the area. We had plenty of time at each stop for pictures or to look around. Definitely worth going
This was the best experience!! Jett was our guide and he was so nice and informative. It was worth every penny. The views were beautiful. Only thing I would've liked is if we could've stayed in Breckenridge a little longer. Also, while riding down main Street in Breckenridge, he was giving recommendations which I liked but I couldn't remember them all so would be nice if it was a way to have those recommendations on paper or digitally. Just a suggestion, but I HIGHLY recommend!
Steve and josh were both so amazing!! They were so friendly, and gave us so much information about the different areas we visited and about Denver overall! Definitely recommend this tour!
Our guide Kyle was AMAZING! He was very knowledgeable about everything around us and able to answer all of our questions. He was funny and personable. We had a great time and would book again on our next trip!
There were fantastic sites. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Our guide Dylan was nice and informative.
Don't question it, just book!! My group and I had an amazing time with Aaron as our guide. We were a bunch of different age ranges and personalities but he made sure to make each of us feel comfortable, offered photos, and had so much knowledge about the areas we went through. This tour was also in February, so with winter conditions, it gave us peace of mind to know that we didn't have to navigate the roads ourselves. The sights were incredible and the food was even better. Plenty of bathroom breaks and photo-ops.
Well worth the cost. Our tour guide Jed really was very knowledgeable about anything and everything we asked and was a complete joy to be around. Would for sure recommend to anyone I know that has not been to the area. Even when the tour was done asked us if wanted any dinner or other sight seeing recommendations while here in Denver.
It was an awesome route. Kyle was great! I felt like we didn’t have a lot of time in Breckenridge, however we had a good time.
Definitely a trip I will always remember every stop we made was wonderful and worth every penny spent. Our tour guide was amazing had fantastic recommendations during and after our tour. Highly recommend next time you are Denver
Amazing trip with Ryan as our guide! Loved it, he was friendly and very knowledgeable. It was a great trip with some breathtaking locations with great photo ops! I highly recommend it!!!
We loved having Kyle as a guide. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area from Denver to Breckenridge. He had all the recommendations and made sure we took full advantage of the day and all the photo opportunities. 10/10 would recommend Kyle and this company for any of your future tours in the Denver area!
Aaron was the best tour guide ever for our trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park. He shared with us the history of the Native American populations who resided in these lands and was extremely knowledgeable about the geology and the wildlife of the Rockys. Made our tour group all feel welcome and also asked us to introduce ourselves. Thank you Aaron for the memorable tour!
We had a fantastic time on this tour! our guide Kyle was super knowledgeable about the area and kept us on time the whole way! Red rocks was beautiful, plenty of time to see the museum and the amphitheater! Idaho springs was a very cute town and the local coffee shop kyle suggested was really good! Finally he took us to see the troll at Breckenridge and gave us several good suggestions and showed us we’re we could take the gondola. It was a beautiful day and I can’t recommend it enough. Also, the drive back to union station was a perfect time to take a little nap or enjoy his fantastic playlist while watching the mountains pass by! You can’t go wrong with this one!
Our tour guide Steve did a fabulous job showing us the sights of the Breckenridge Explorer . He gave great information, told funny stories, and took great photos of my boyfriend and I while on the tour. Steve cared about our experience and is a great representative of Colorado. When we arrived to Breckenridge , we wanted to do the sled while everyone else wanted to do gondola. Steve didn’t hesitated and happy to take my boyfriend and I. Unfortunately, the sled slope was half melted so we ended up going back to gondola. This was an amazing day out and very entertaining. Highly recommend this tour.
The trip was amazing from start to finish. I especially enjoyed the stop at Loveland Pass. The views were incredible. Breckinridge was enjoyable. The weather was perfect. Layer up because it can be chilly in the mountains.
This was our first time ever in Colorado and I wanted to see what Colorado is famous for .. MOUNTAINS, great scenic drives and adorable mountain resort towns. This tour was also our very first ever group driving tour so I was a little apprehensive about what it would be like. Also right after tour we had to get to the airport real quick for our flight out in HR and half after tour ended. We were lucky enough to get someone who has to be one of the the best guides, if not THE best - JED. He was amazing! He made our tour/trip memorable with so much knowledge (not boring knowledge but fun, interesting with a little humor thrown in here and there). He was awesome and watched the time for me to make sure we would make it back in time for our flight. He was perfectly on time. We had so much fun visiting everywhere! We went to Red Rocks, Idaho Springs (why it's called that in Colorado I have no idea LOL), there were recent avalanches (one you can see in pic) so we didn't get to go up to the Continental Divide but we had a breathtaking views and stops along the way to the highlight Breck (as a local there told me they call it). You must take the free Gondola ride, it was stunning and I don't even care for Heights that much but I loved every minute of it. I had asked Jed some good food and drink recommendations in town and again he didn't disappoint! He suggested the Pour House and it was delicious. I really want to go back to Denver now and do a different tour. This was so much fun! If you're tight with pennies like me and trying to decide if it's worth it, trust me it is! I plan on asking what other tours Jed guides as well because we would love to have him again, it was that much fun! :-)
Our guide Jed was the absolute best and made this tour and trip fantastic! We got to see and do so much, I recommend this tour to anyone, it is well worth the $$ and if I make it back to Denver I plan on taking another tour with this company and asking for Jed, he was that good! :-)
This your was so fun! We signed up for it hoping to see the Rockies and got so much more! Our guide, Ryan, was very knowledgeable and made the experience really enjoyable. The sights and activities were amazing. He even gave great restaurant recommendations after the tour was over. We had originally planned to do the half day, but moved to the full day last minute. We were so glad we did. A half day wouldn't have been enough. So worth the time and money!
Aaron was an amazing tour guide! He is sooooo knowledgeable and accommodating. This tour includes incredible sights! There were only 3 of us in the group since 2 people didn’t make it in time. It was like our own private tour. All of us highly recommend this tour! I do suggest grabbing something quick for lunch in Breckenridge to save time. Be sure to ride the gondola (free)! You won’t be disappointed!
Did the Breckenridge Tour with stops in Idaho Springs and the Continental Divide wiht my wife and our two college age kids. Thought they'd be eye-rolling the whole time but they both had a blast and said 10 out of 10 they'd do it again anytime! Ryan was the best tour guide ever and a major reason the trip was so good! So knowledgeable about the towns, the wild life, the mountains, mountain life, Colorado history. He really kept everyone informed, entertained and educated us along the way. On the way back, he gave great information about the neighborhoods surrounding Lower Downtown aka LoDo. He gave a bunch of recommendations on eateries and bars.
Ryan was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. Beyond the amazing views we learned so much about the ecosystem, culture and history. Definitely recommend a trip with Ryan
The mountains are beautiful. Also great food on the trip. Our guide Kyle is very knowledgeable. I would travel with him again.
Our tour guide, Aaronwas a wonderful helpful knowledgeable guy! He definitely adds more fun and a lot of good information to our Breckinridge trip.
The scenic view was amazing. Ryan was the perfect guide. Breckenridge is a beautiful town and the shops and restaurants were fabulous.
The tour w Kyle was amazing! The group we had bonded instantly and we all became friends… made some incredible memories together. Kyle is an awesome tour guide! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!
The trip to Breckenridge is ok, but our tour guide seems a little bit tired. We asked him for the recommendation for the ski resort like rental and lesson but he said that he wasn’t there before so he didn’t know. He was honest, but not really helpful. We was in the town around 12:00 and the skiing lesson was around 12:30 but we didn’t know so we missed it.
Jed was an amazing tour guide. He impressed everyone in my party of 5 with his extensive knowledge about Colorado (Denver and the tour sites), safety and overall professionalism. The tour was a long - 8 hours felt like the whole day - but there was something for everyone in my group to enjoy. I'd say that the most popular stops were the Loveland Pass and the Red Rock Amphitheater. Because it was my first time in Colorado, I enjoyed the opportunity to drive around and learn about all that there was to do and see from small towns to ski towns to beautiful mountains. I highly recommend this tour for people of all ages, if you're new in town and want a safe way to explore, if you want to learn more about things to do and see, if you have a lot of time to kill... Do it!
