Top Denver Day Trips

Full day full of beautiful views and sights. When I thought I had a great photo….Will (our incredible Viator guide/driver) would top it over and over again. Love Breckenridge with the incredible shops. Ate at Erics and loved the atmosphere! Will was informative, educated on the area and drove us safely back to Denver!

We had a great time on the Rocky Mountain Escape! Beautiful stops along the way and our guide, Jerry was awesome! You can tell he really loves what he does. Super fun, very nice, and was willing to take pics for anyone who asked him. He even stopped and pulled over to show us when he saw some mountain goats! I would most definitely do more tours especially with Jerry!

Our tour guide Jayce was fabulous! He was able to relate to our diverse group of people on the ghost tour. Our tour group was comprised of individuals of varying ages who were from the area, from out of state, and from Europe. Furthermore, there was a group that was late and Jayce was patient and kind and even went so far as to call them. What was so endearing about Jayce is that he took time to engage with a member of our group with special needs. He patiently listened to this individual and responded to this individual's questions with respect and dignity. Jayce lives in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and sincerely loves this area and his job as a tour guide! If there was one improvement that we could suggest is perhaps touring the inside of some of these stately mansions as we learned about their haunted past. Thank you for a great time Jayce and Happy Halloween! 🎃

This was without a doubt our favorite day spent in Denver so far! Aaron was incredibly knowledgeable as a tour guide about everything from local flora and fauna to the history of Colorado. Garden of the gods was beautiful but it was definitely Pikes Peak and the cog railway trip that really took our breaths away (both figuratively and literally!). Definitely pack some warm weather gear for the top as wind chill can make it frigid even on warm days. And a quick pit stop in Manitou Springs was the ideal way to the end the day along with some amazing wildlife spotted on I-25. This trip is not to be missed and count yourself really lucky if you get paired with Aaron!

The hike is beautiful and most fitness levels can achieve it. We even had a beautiful wildlife experience. Seeing the elk heard and hearing the bugling in the memory for a lifetime. Our guide was knowledgeable, fun, and met the needs of all the participants.

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.

Harley is a hoot ! He is a very high energy guide with lots of local, historical, and general knowledge. He made the long drive fun. He also navigated back roads around some serious I-70 traffic, and got us into places declared “closed” online…but as a local and long time guide with the insider scoop, he got us to every single site. The views were majestic and well worth the time.
