Short tour near denver
It was a wonderful short tour. We had good time to view the red mountain and a lunch break at Golden. Next time, I would take a whole day explore if time permits.

Amazing Tour
This was an awesome tour. Monica was an excellent tour guide. My initial reservations were canceled due to lack of participants. This company worked out a day that worked best for me. I also got a complimentary upgrade to Red Rocks Park, Continental Divide & Breckenridge. Amazing!

Red Rock Rocks!
I am 75 and have been on a lot of tours and our tour guide Harvey was the best I’ve ever had and I have had some good ones! The tour length and comfortable bus were great and the sites—especially at Red Rock—wow!

Visit the Mountains Even if You’re Short on Time!
My adult daughter and I travelled on this half day tour up to the mountains. We had a great time and got to spend 45 minutes at the Red Rock Amphitheater. It was amazing. We had time to go through the visitors center and learn about when dinosaurs trampled the ground that become the future grounds of the Red Rocks Amphitheater, as well as see a winding wall with names of every performer that was there! We then went to Lookout Mountain and Golden. We even had an up close view of a buffalo herd. I chose this tour over other short tours because of the time spent in the Amphitheater and Golden. We had lunch in Golden at an amazing restaurant called Buffalo Rose for buffalo burgers. Our guide Monica pointed out things to see and answered my questions. Highly recommend!

Thoughtful and informative
As an elderly couple, we were very impressed with the thoughtfulness of our guide Gator. He was interesting and informative and had great suggestions on what to see.

Great trip to see Red Rocks & local sights
Beautiful scenery, vehicle was clean & water was offered to all. Enjoyed the route and information given, however I would have appreciated the tour guide to have more knowledge of local area & fun facts about tourist destinations we visited & encourage participants interacting- more lively. Examples: Why is the Bell Arena named that, some famous bands that played at Red Rocks over the years, Coors brewery trivia, etc. Overall great experience & would use this company again!

We had a great day with...
We had a great day with our enthusiastic guide Monica. The views were spectacular at Red Rocks. Enjoyed checking out Buffalo Bills grave and museum. Stunning views from Lookout Mountain. Was disappointed not to see any bisons. Golden was a cute town where we enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Buffalo Rose. All in all a 5 out of 5!

Wonderful tour! Highly recommend!
Wonderful tour! If staying in Denver great to explore beyond the city and see the sights. Beautiful views. Tour guide was very knowledgeable, shared so much interesting info and a safe driver too! Only suggestion is to make the 1 hour stop at Golden longer. It felt rushed.
