What are people saying about Denver

LaraDiane_L, May 2026

Highly recommended tour

I love that our tour started with Pikes Peak early mountain view, lunch in the mountains and Garden of the Gods w/ balancing rock ( the lunch was good prepared by our tour guide sandwich, chips and drink!) Our tour guide was Bob, He was knowledgeable, he kept us all entertained with some humor and gave history of all the sites we visited and more about colorado. Love the mascot Marty. We took bathroom breaks. Bob was a great driver, safely arrived at all destinations. I would recommend to put a timer each time on location so you’d be aware because the places are too beautiful you’d forget how fast time flies. I would highly recommend this tour to any solo or family touring Denver for a day. I would come back again next time with someone.

Discover Rocky Mountain National Park

Nathan_T, May 2026

Jed as the guide on the Rocky Mtn National Park Tour is a must do activity.

Jed did an awesome job explaining all the ecological features of the area. He knows everything about the vegetation, wildlife, and geological formations of the area. His passion came across. I’d highly recommend. Going after Memorial Day would have gotten us higher on the mountain, but we still got over 10K feet. Saw a ton of wildlife throughout the day. His Dad jokes were on point too.

Rocky Mountain Escape

Christine_H, May 2026

Peaceful retreat to the mountains

Absolutely fantastic tour. So many beautiful views, and time to walk and take in the clear air. Adam was a great driver and very informative about flora & fauna. We watched a couple setting up a new climbing route at Juniper Pass. Fish were jumping at the lake! So calm and majestic.

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....

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).
