Top Denver Day Trips

Beautiful landscapes - like a postcard! ❤️ Our tour guide Alex was amazing!!! Warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Due to a wreck that stopped all traffic dead (including us!), right when we were starting our return trip, we understood that the accident scene delay would make my husband/I late to our next event. Alex got out and went a few feet ahead to others outside their cars to ask the cause. He returned to share with us the situation that lay ahead, then he determined each options’ estimated delay, calculated options for getting back as close to time as possible, and then discussed those options with us, inviting us old fogeys to play a role in his decision-making process (elder wisdom lol). It showed tremendous respect for us as people and not just fares. That’s character. I highly recommend this tour! It’s like a series of appetizers. If you’re looking for in-depth activity with plenty of time to explore, look to other options.

Our guide Steve was wonderful. He is top notch with a wealth of knowledge and very personable. You can't go wrong choosing this trip. All I can say is- wow, what an experience. And you will definitely get some great memorable photos. Avoid the traffic and distractions & let Steve be your guide.

We had a fabulous time! Hans out guide was super friendly and was so knowledgeable about the history surrounding Denver and the places we visited. He provided little snacks and water as well. I couldn’t recommend this tour more!! Would give 10 stars if we could!

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!

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.

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.

This full-day tour was a very nice way to spend the day seeing Rocky Mountain National Park, especially if you're not very comfortable driving in the high mountains. The tour guide, Phil, was very knowledgeable and he also wasn't afraid to admit when he wasn't certain about the answer to a question. He was very good at spotting wildlife for the group to see. He kept up a lively commentary on our way up to and through Rocky Mountain National Park and he had lots of great information to share. On the way back, he was respectful of the fact that we were probably tired and he turned on some music and let us be alone with our thoughts, check pictures we'd taken, etc. Phil was punctual and kept the group moving at the time he stated for people to be back to the van. I appreciated this because I've been on many tours where time limits were a mere suggestion and were not adhered to. The fact that this was a small group (8 people) probably contributed to the ability to be on time. There were a couple of things that were stated on the day's itinerary that we did not get to do, unfortunately. One person on the tour asked whether we would be crossing the Continental Divide, which was stated in the itinerary, but we did not get there. (Phil did point it out, but we did not cross it and get the opportunity for a photo as stated.) The other thing I noticed was that we did not see the Alluvial Fan, as was stated in the itinerary. That was something I would have liked to see. Phil did ask as we were starting our journey to name something we were looking forward to during the day. Perhaps it is my fault for not specifically mentioning this one item at that time, but I will admit that I was a little bummed that we didn't get to see this. I did end up giving the tour five stars, however, because I do think Phil showed us other interesting things, such as several stops for elk since it was their mating season, and we did fill up practically the entire length of our 10 hours together.
