What are people saying about Denver

Hannah_K, Oct 2026

Phenomenal Experience-Book it!!

Phenomenal experience! Our guide Ryan was fantastic—knowledgeable, approachable, and incredibly helpful with taking pictures and providing water and bathroom break opportunities along the way. He truly made the experience special! We learned so much from him, both during the drives between stops and at each destination, which made the time fly by. The van was very clean, comfortable, and spacious, with plenty of room for everyone and storage for our belongings while we explored. The large windows also offered amazing views on both sides along the way. The number of stops and the time spent at each destination were perfect. We never could have seen so many incredible places on our own, and had such a great time doing it! It was an excellent value for the ticket price and one of our favorite parts of our entire trip. HIGHLY recommend! We’re already planning our next trip and looking forward to booking more tours from here (there’s so many great options!).

Should out to Viator and guide Brian

Thumbs up to Viator, Explorer Tours and our Guide Brian. We booked through viator for the very first time. But the way they managed everything deserves a shout out. Brian gave us a very friendly and well researched guided tour of the rocky mountains. Would love to visit again.

Pikes Peak COG Railway & Garden of Gods Tour

Ming_A, Oct 2026

Great variety of experiences

This trip was a great time, but you should know that weather can affect the running of the Cog Railway. The tour group is not in control of that. The day we were there, we could only go partway up. It was still a fantastic journey, but if reaching the peak is important to you, be aware that once summer is over, mountain weather can change your plans. They Cog Railway will give partial refunds if they cannot reach the peak. The rest of the day was phenomenal. Garden of the Gods was beautiful, and Jeff was an informative and fun guide for the drives.

2 Hour LoDo Historic Walking Tour in Denver

Joseph_P, Oct 2026

Denver walking tour

We've taken some tours on our visit to colorado, but our denver walking tour guide, Will, was by far the best. His extensive knowledge of the history, architecture, and personal stories really made you feel like you had a connection to the city. It also has a great sense of humor and his Dad jokes are the best!

Great hiking experience

This is a small group hike in a beautiful special area that the wonderful guide Lauren Knows. I loved it. I am 74 years old and had a little trouble with the altitude but Lauren took care of me and the other hikers were super kind and helpful too. This is a great day.

Rocky Mountain 6-Zipline Adventure on CO Longest and Fastest!

Katherin_A, Sep 2026

6 Zip Lines, Great Views & Lots of Fun! 🏔️✨

Definitely worth it! There are 6 zip lines in total, and you do have to walk a little between some of them, but nothing too difficult. The location is a little far from Denver, and from the meeting point it’s about a 5-minute drive to the zip lines. They take you there by van and bring you back afterward. The staff was very friendly, and everything was well organized and on time. They provide water and snacks. You must bring a water bottle with a holder, or you can buy one there for $5. You can also record your experience, but your camera must be something that can attach to your helmet or chest. If you don’t have one, you can purchase a camera there for $30 and share it with your partner, alternating between the zip lines. The videos turned out great! The staff waits for you and lets you go at your own pace. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience!

Renee_O, Aug 2026

Garden of the Gods was...

Garden of the Gods was absolutely beautiful. We saw some climbers and wildlife. Pikes Peak Is not for the faint hearted. The drive up is steep and narrow. Our driver was great!! Unfortunately it was very cloudy so there were no views to see. The drive up was beautiful though.

Rocky Mountain national Park tour

This was a wonderful tour. Lots of information and history shared by the guide. She (Anne) was also a great driver. Lunch at Penelope‘s in Estes Park was very good. We would’ve liked a little bit more time in Estes Park. We saw elk deer, Turkey, and moose. Overall, a great day.
