Using this service was completely worth it. With Jerry (aka Jtrain) guiding us it allowed us to completely relax and enjoy the experience versus trying to figure it out & stressing. Great hike completely exceeded expectations. Saw a moose, an elk, cool birds, and more. Definitely would use them again.
The wonder of the park is just amazing. The guide was amazing . Eating lunch in front of Cub Lake make me.feel.honored. An amazing experience.
Very good tour with an amazing view. The guide was very nice, knowledgeable and friendly. The hike wasn’t at all demanding.
We had the good fortune of having Gentry Caplett as our guide. She arrived a few minutes early and her smile and personality came out immediately. She’s got a Masters in Geology which was a really nice asset in explaining some of the more scientific aspect of things. She discussed climate, micro ecosystems, wildlife and the like. She was incredibly patient and answered 5000 questions (some probably stupid). She took us to a million pretty locations. She stopped 100 times. She never rushed us! I could go on and on but the bottom line is we’re coming back next year and I already have her cell and email address. Next time we’re gonna do a few things with her for sure! Already looking forward to it. Highly recommend. Thank you Gentry. A pleasure to spend time with you.
Kyle was an excellent tour guide! I was looking for a way to see RMNP while visiting Denver and traveling alone with my son. We only had one day to explore the park and wanted to maximize our time and feel safe. The private tour provided just that - I was able to relax and take it all in, not having to worry about navigating. Kyle knew the park and could help us pack as much into our day as possible. We had a blast hiking, viewing wildlife, and seeing the beautiful terrain.
Over the expected, will definitely go back for another adventure. Great way to enjoy your time in Colorado!
We had an excellent time with Mitchell. Highly recommend the private tour so you can visit the hot spots that most tourists would not usually get a chance to visit. Book with confidence!
Had a wonderful hike with our tour guide Win. He was extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with, had the most amazing stories to share....we even encountered a pack of llamas on our trail doing some repairs to keep the hike safe for all. Only drawback it was an extremely warm day and we never made it inside the park to see the sights. My entire family had an amazing time and the views were breathtaking along the way....lots of unicorn moments!
The Private full day RMNP tour was exectly what we wanted to do. The weather was excellent and so was the scenery. Our tour guide was Dylan and he was knowledgeable extertaining and reliable. The day long Private Hiking Tour of the RMNP was well worth our time and money. Jon H
Guide was very much professional and knowledgeable... He was too much entertaining... Tour was so good with tasty sandwiches...
We took a full day private tour from Denver to Rocky Mountain National Park with Mel. She was absolutely awesome. From the moment she picked us up at our hotel everything was perfect. Mel was personable, informative and simply a wonderful tour guide. We went for a long hike to a waterfall. Lunches were packed and provided. The view was spectacular and the information constant. We saw multiple elk. We also learned a great deal about Denver and Colorado in general. Mel was a true joy and we feel so lucky to have experienced the Rockies through her lens.
The hike was beautiful to say the least. Our guide Austin was soooo full of knowledge from every aspect of the tour From history of every building we passed on our drive to the mountain and info about each town. He knew every mountains name and how each was formed and how old everything was. The knowledge was superior ! His personality was contagious ! He made the tour so wonderful! The hike is just enough beauty and challenge! We got to see and elk and her baby;) the van we rode in was clean and nice. I highly suggest Aspire Tour company and Austin! Thanks for a wonderful experience
Mel was awesome! I recommend this tour if ur solo with friends or family! They make it easy with pickup in Denver and boulder. The hike was doable just bring proper footwear, sunblock and plenty of water. Our tour guide Mel was so accommodating, knowledgeable, kind and down to earth! I can’t wait for my next tour with Aspire!
I took the hiking tour to the Rocky Mountains and it was hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had in life. Our guide Win was awesome. Fun, knowledgeable and with an extraordinary attitude and respect towards nature and people. His serene positivity really puts you in the right state of mind to hike the Rockies and immerge yourself in their pristine nature. We learned about the territory, its nature, animals and trees and I came back enriched. We also spotted a moose taking a bath in a pond, which really made my trip unique. I really recommend go on a hike with Aspire Tours if you want to get the best out of the Rockies.
We booked Aspire for our family guided snowshoe/hike through a part of the Rocky Mountain National Park. First time we've ever used this tour company. I can highly recommend, without reservation, this trip and our guide, Mel. We came from literally sea level at St Pete Beach, FL to Denver and then onto the Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in two days and had never experienced a hike in snowy conditions at that altitude. Mel, our guide for the day, called us the day before to understand our expectations from the family for this trip, check out our fitness, equipment and preparedness for hiking at altitude, and then suggested a custom hike to meet our specific expectations and goals for the trip. She picked us up at our Airbnb in a Mercedes van and drove us directly to RMNP with stops in Lyons for coffee and croissants and onto Estes Park to rent the only equipment we didn't have with us...snow shoes and poles (the rental of which was included in our tour price). At the outfitter, they informed us that there was still plenty of snow in the RMNP, but the powder was gone and what was left was 2-3 feet of packed snow - not ideal conditions for snow shoes. So Mel adapted on the spot and recommended micro-spikes instead of snow shoes. Boy was she right, the mircro-spikes were ideal for the conditions and we were able to do the same planned hike with the proper equipment. I would rate the hike as "moderate" in terms of difficulty. We parked at the Glacier Ridge parking area and hiked up to Lock Vale and the views were spectacular! Mel was loaded with valuable, interesting and entertaining information ranging from the history and geological evolution of the Rocky Mountains and surrounding area as well as the flora and fauna of the RMNP itself. She was informative, playful at times (showing us how to slide down small hills on our backsides), but always serious in her first priority of ensuring that we were safe and comfortable. She made sure that we took plenty of water and snack breaks on the trail and we had a box lunch provided by Aspire on the frozen Loch Vale. Originally, the entire tour (including transportation back and forth) was scheduled for approximately, 8 hours..in fact we were gone for almost 10 hours because Mel was so responsive and accommodating to our requests to explore different areas and extend our mountain hike. This is by far the best experience I've had on a tour and with a tour guide. It's not inexpensive, but totally a great value for our family. We made memories (and pictures) to last a life time. Thank you, Mel!
Excellent tour, it is very worth it. The views, the hiking incredible. The guide was very kind and provided a lot of information. Totally recommended !!!
In July 2022 we booked a "Private Rocky Mountain National Park Hiking Tour". Touring guide Mike gave us amazingly deep and lots of interesting information about land, animals, plants and people. At the same time, he guided us purposefully to the places where we could spot animals. Sportwise, we were quite challenged according to our desire. Aspire Tours not only makes the hiking trip easy. The way we deal with wishes is unusual. Thank you for everything.
