Top Vail Sightseeing Tours

Vail Village looks like a picture-perfect alpine retreat – all Bavarian chalets and polished luxury – but the real stories are hidden in plain sight. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll hear about the soldiers, ski legends, and local quirks that shaped this mountain town into something far more interesting than its postcard image suggests. You’ll start at the Vail Village Welcome Center near the Colorado Snowsports Museum, and make your way through the cobblestone streets of the village center. As you walk, you’ll hear stories about the 10th Mountain Division soldiers who fought in World War II and returned to build Vail from scratch. The tour ends at a second covered bridge over Gore Creek, surrounded by sculpture gardens and mountain views.

The fly fishing trip with Eagle River outfitter starts by meeting your guide on the river at a predetermined location for four hours of fly fishing fun. Your guide(s) bring the waders and boots to the fishing location so no valuable fishing time is wasted at a fly shop. Eagle River Outfitter staff will have all the fishing gear necessary - rods, reels, flies, terminal tackle. They’ll also have cold beverages. All trips start with a quick casting clinic on the water before rods are handed to guests to fish their way to glory for the next 3.5 hours. Whether the fishing is good or great, the guide(s) will be on your hip coaching you to hook, fight and net fish. With a quick, easy lesson and as much on-water attention as you can handle, we feel confident that even complete beginners can grasp the sport with ease and have a great time doing it. Though we cannot promise fish, we do promise that our guides will do absolutely everything within their power to help you catch fish.
