Rocky Mountains
The meeting point in the morning is by the Big Blue Bear, just outside the Denver Convention Center. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the City of Denver, it's landmarks, and the areas surrounding & inside the National Park. Well worth the time.

100/10 would recommend and will definitely book again!
This trip was amazing! Ben was such a great guide and answered all our questions, and even turned around so we could get better pictures of the wildlife. What really stood out for me was the amazing communication from the team from booking to the day of. I was also SO grateful for a gluten free lunch. I was nervous it wouldn’t be that much as most aren’t so I backed a bunch of snacks just in case. The gf sandwich was huge! Going solo on trips can be intimidating but this tour was so amazing! I can’t wait to go back and absolutely book with them again!

Amazing half day tour from Denver
We had a wonderful experience on the Denver Half-Day Shared Tour to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Evergreen Lake, Echo Lake, and Mount Blue Sky Scenic Drive. The scenery throughout the trip was absolutely breathtaking, and the itinerary was well planned, allowing us to enjoy several iconic Colorado destinations in a short amount of time.
A special thank you to our tour guide, Christine, who made the experience exceptional. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging throughout the tour. Christine shared fascinating information about the history, geology, wildlife, and local culture, making every stop even more meaningful. Her enthusiasm and professionalism kept the group comfortable and entertained the entire time.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Denver area with kids. It was the perfect combination of stunning views, interesting information, and a relaxing day exploring the Rocky Mountains.

The Perfect Way to Spend a Birthday in Colorado 🎂🏔️🚂
I chose this tour as part of my birthday celebration, and it turned out to be the perfect way to spend the day. From the breathtaking views atop Pikes Peak to the incredible scenery at Garden of the Gods, the entire experience was outstanding.
Jason was an excellent tour guide—informative, entertaining, engaging, and organized. He did a great job keeping the group together while sharing interesting information and making the day enjoyable for everyone.
The weather was beautiful, the views were spectacular, and the tour was well worth the money. If you’re looking for a great way to experience some of Colorado’s most iconic sights, I highly recommend this tour. It was a memorable day and one of the highlights of my trip.

Colorado
Our tour at Colorado Red Rocks was absolutely unforgettable! The views were breathtaking, the fresh mountain air was so refreshing, and every stop felt like a postcard moment. Walking around the famous Red Rocks area and seeing the massive natural rock formations up close was truly amazing.
The whole experience was well organized, relaxing, and fun. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour even more enjoyable by sharing interesting facts and making sure everyone was comfortable throughout the trip.
If you’re visiting Colorado, this tour is definitely a must-try. It’s the perfect combination of nature, history, and beautiful scenery. Highly recommended!

Very good excursion with beautiful scenery
Be on time! Meeting time for me was 1pm and at 12:56pm I received a call to make sure that I was coming. I was literally less than 100 yards away, LOL! The trip is worth the money. The vehicle was clean and appropriate. I really didn't care for the stop in Idaho Spring. There were several food choice and a place to use the restroom.

Great day trip
I had an incredible experience with Explorer Tours right out of Denver! The tour took us to Pikes Peak, where the mountain views—snow-capped and breathtaking—were absolutely unforgettable. Then, we explored the Garden of the Gods, which gave us a totally different but equally stunning landscape—those iconic orange rock formations were surreal. It felt like two awe-inspiring worlds in one day. And a big shoutout to Robert, our guide—he made the whole trip even better! If you’re visiting Denver, this tour is a must!

Great for history buffs!
Hans, our tour guide, was a retired school teacher. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. He frequently checked in to make sure everyone in the tour group was having fun, comfortable, and take care of. The tour was fantastic, the mine and panning for gold were wonderful as well. Definitely a must-do for anyone even tangentially interested in history, geology, or learning about the state!

Rocky Mountain Hikes 💯 - get Aaron!
What an unforgettable experience. Aaron was the best hiking/tour guide you can ever conjure up in your imagination. Engaging, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, always looking after our comfort and safety. The hikes we took at Gem Lake and Black Canyon were strenuous and a bit slick because of the ice, but we took lots of breaks to catch our breath in the high altitude. He even accommodated my request for a walk-thru at the Stanley Hotel and a pit stop for souvenirs at the gift shop before we headed home. He took lots of pictures for us climbers and regaled us with funny and insightful stories and quips all the way through. Highly recommend!

Exceptional!
Our guide, Hans, was extremely knowledgeable about the history, nature, geology and social aspects of Colorado, easily addressing questions from all categories as we travelled to Breckenridge, Red Rocks and more. This was the highlight of our trip! Thank you!

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!

Denver Resident? Still a must do!
Andrew is amazing! He is so knowledgeable and quite funny with his one liners. I’ve lived in Colorado for over 13 years and it’s so fun being a tourist in your own city. I learned so much about Cap Hill! I’m a former history teacher and now travel a lot, so I love walking tours, but this one was unique! Highly recommend, especially for spooky season.
