What are people saying about Denver

Pikes Peak COG Railway & Garden of Gods Tour

Biren_C, Oct 2026

Excellent experience!

We went in October 2026 and the weather was great! although unusual for this time of year. Adam was an excellent guide and knew all the cool spots for pictures without a lot of other tourists. We saw Garden of the Gods; ate a nice lunch; went to the top of Pike's Peak on the Cog Railway; and still had time left over to walk around Manitou Springs. I would definitely recommend this tour since it is all planned for you.

Rocky Mountain National Park in Summer Tour from Denver

Char_B, Oct 2026

Shout-out to Jorge!

Jorge! I've driven through Rocky Mountain National Park before, but Jorge helped me see it through an entirely new lens. He pulled bird and tree guides from the van to show us a Steller's jay in a ponderosa pine, and even made the tiny pika a lesson in a warming planet. He wove in stewardship with humor ("Don't be a Sasquatch!") and quietly picked up litter along the way. Soft-spoken, thoughtful, and genuinely curious, he made us feel like family learning together. Thank you, Jorge, for reminding me the world is still full of things worth wondering about.

Mount Blue Sky 14,265ft Summit and Glacial Lakes

Reyne_G, Sep 2026

Mt. Blue Sky and Glacial Lakes

The tour was phenomenal and the views from the summit at Mt. Blue Sky and of the Glacial Lakes were spectacular. We would recommend this tour to everyone. We saw many mountain goats at the summit and marmots along the drive. Our tour guide, Will, was fantastic. He was informative, very interesting and hilariously funny. We would not have been able to see all that we saw and experienced and learned on our own. We will definitely use Viator in the future when we visit Colorado again.

Visit Red Rocks Park, Continental Divide & Breckenridge

Cyndi_M, Sep 2026

Red Rock Canyon, Breckenridge & Continental Divide with our Outstanding Guide Ryan

Ryan was our tour guide and he knew so many facts and made sure to give us plenty of notice to look for landmarks, wild animals, etc. Very personable and engaging!! Have another trip planned for the next two days and so happy I chose Viator to plan our excursions.

Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods Small Group Tour

Henry_C, Aug 2026

Fun day out

Brian arranged a great day trip to Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. He provided intelligent and entertaining commentary throughout the day. I especially liked the drive through Manitou Springs and wished we'd had time to spend a few hours there. We also enjoyed the picnic lunch, and appreciated that there were only eight people in the tour group instead of dozens. Thanks!

Mount Blue Sky, Clear Creek Canyon & Red Rocks Park (Mount Evans)

Robby_M, Aug 2026

Great Locations, Unsympathetic Tour Operator

I am giving this a 5 star review as my family and I visited these locations privately and they are beautiful. Please be aware that altitude sickness is a real thing, my daughter suffered it and we had to miss the actual tour. I suggest leaving a few days before before the booking to recover if you arrive into Denver from lower altitudes. The tour operator however had no sympathy for this and refused to move my booking or refund me anything, which under the circumstances was quite disappointing. 5 stsr review for what you'll see, 2 star for the unsympathetic tour operators.

Rocky Mountain National Park Guided Hiking Adventure

Joshua_M, Aug 2026

Great guided hike

I loved the aspired tours guided hike. The tour guide pcikendusnup from Union Station and we went to Estes Park and got a break before entering. He was very personable about his connection to the parks, an avid hiker and loved everything out doors. It was great to get up close to nature and hike through the woods to see a few peaks especially Longs Peak and part OF Mt. MEEKER IN DISTANCE AND THE ROUTE TO THE LAKE. OUR START AT BARISTADT took us up straight and explained everything about what we will encounter and do. Our lunch was provided and midnful.of dietary snd was really cool.to talk to. He was honest about not being able.to always see big nature like moose, elk, or any of the big ones such as a bear. But we saw wildlife such as chipmunks, blue Jay's, a deer, and some little ones which was great. The Lilly ponds at the lake was another stop we enjoyed before continuing up. Overall great informative as md active hike and recommend anyone on first time to this park to experience the beauty of one America's many treasures.

Colorado Gold Rush Mountain and Mine Half-Day Tour from Denver

Tiffany_C, Apr 2026

Great for history buffs!

Hans, our tour guide, was a retired school teacher. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. He frequently checked in to make sure everyone in the tour group was having fun, comfortable, and take care of. The tour was fantastic, the mine and panning for gold were wonderful as well. Definitely a must-do for anyone even tangentially interested in history, geology, or learning about the state!

Denver in a Day Private Tour - RiNo, Sites Downtown, Red Rocks

Kerry_W, Oct 2025

Best Day in Denver!

Great way to see all the sights in Denver in a relaxed way. Jeremy was the best tour guide, so polite and accommodating. We had some silly requests like eating at the In and Out Burger and he was very happy to bring us there. We enjoyed his insights and vast knowledge of the area. It may have been the best possible way to spend a day in Denver!
