Red was very knowledgeable and and all around great tour guide. Unfortunately, I got a little altitude sickness when we got to Pikes peak, but everything was beautiful. The train was an awesome way to get up the mountain and I would recommend to everyone!!

Red Rocks & Beyond

Julie_L, May 2026

Pricey but Great Tour! Awesome Views

Great tour guide (Justin), breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains and Golden, Colorado. I wish bottled water was provided during the tour because the altitude really affect some people. The description indicated that water (refills) would be provided but it wasn't.

Res Rocks and White Snow

This trip by Ilimo is a must do. It is a good combination of pace and rest, movement and grandeur, in short, a very well curated trip with adequate time for every included spot. Alex was a very knowledgeable guide and kept on informing us of every stop on the trip. The first stop was at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The museum. is excellent and the Amphitheatre is a natural treasure which is a treat to see. Alex informed us about the mining townships en route to Brekenbridge after this. We had a quiet lazy lunch at Brekenbridge along with a walk on the main historic street, which was lovely. Then we went for a short walk into the forest and then up into the White River National Park, the Continental divide and the Loveland Pass before descending into Denver. We saw some elks on the way. This was an amazing trip and I am happy to recommend it....

May at Pikes Peak

Absolutely a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and great sense of humor. The GoG and Pikes Peak was well worth the journey outside Denver. A must see. Of note, we went in early May so the road to the summit of Pikes Peak may be closed but we went up to 11k feet and the views were spectacular.

Denver foodie tour

Anne, We wanted to thank you for an awesome food experience! The food selection was excellent, allowing us to try a variety of dishes that highlighted the different foods of Denver. We actually circled back to a couple of stops to bring back food for family that could not attend. They also gave all the food high marks. Your insights into the history of the prominent people, building the city, and the evolution of the food we ate was impressive. Your stories and answers to our many questions really tied the whole activity together and was very entertaining. We look forward to coming back again!

Great way to spend the day in Colorado

Tour guide Alex was phenomenal. He had so many facts and anecdotes to share that really added to the experience. He gave us tips on where the best views were and where to take pictures, as well as recommendations for places to eat for lunch and for dinner when we arrived back in Denver. Great way to spend the day in Colorado and see the sights, especially if you didn’t rent a car (and like me are too scared to drive up Pikes Peak yourself).

Discover Rocky Mountain National Park

Oana_M, Mar 2026

Wonderful day trip

My daughter and I had a great time visiting the Rocky Mountains for the day. Our guide, Brennon, was very knowledgeable and provided information and advice well beyond a typical guide. He was also very attentive with the senior members of the group. We lucked out on beautiful weather, spectacular scenery, no crowds, and animal sightings.
