What are people saying about Denver

Melissa_Y, Oct 2026

A Sampler Tour

Anne, our tour guide was, wonderful. She was knowledgeable and a safe driver through the winding mountain roads. My only complaint would be with the pacing. It seemed that the tour tried to fit too many stops into one day leaving little time at each location before we had to move on to the next one. It felt rushed. However, I would still recommend the tour if you want a quick overview. The Rocky Mountains were beautiful.

Time and money well spent

A well rounded tour. Got to see and do a number of things. I was very happy that we went to Red Rocks Amphitheater. It’s so much cooler in person. Nicole was very personable and informative. (And a good driver). Our bus had folks from all around the country and we all had fun. Highly recommended.

A Perfect Day in Rocky Mountain National Park

Fantastic tour and a great way to experience Rocky Mountain National Park! Our guide, Eric, was excellent. His enthusiasm for the area and nature was infectious, and he made the entire day fun and informative. We had perfect weather, and although the wildlife was fairly quiet, we were treated to the amazing sight of a herd of elk crossing the road in Estes Park. Eric knew all the best viewpoints and photo spots and gave us plenty of time to explore without ever feeling rushed. The tour was extremely well organized and punctual—we left Denver right at 9:00 a.m. and were back by 5:00 p.m. The provided lunch was also perfect. A beautiful, relaxing, and very well-run day. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Eric as your guide!

A Must Do

We had the best experience. Our guide, Jason, was fantastic. We had all sorts of weather including lots of snow at Pikes Peak but the cloud cleared on our way back down. We were lucky to see Bobcats in the Garden of the Gods and also Bighorn sheep. The lunch was great. Way too much but beautiful. The Garden of the Gods was amazing as well. A fabulous day. Highly recommend.

Ultimate Denver Day Out with Mark: 10/10, would follow him anywhere

If you want to see Denver with someone who feels less like a tour guide and more like the funniest friend you didn't know you had, book Mark. Personable, hilarious, and full of great stories, he had us laughing from the first stop to the last. The pacing was perfect. Just enough time to soak in the views at Red Rocks, and just enough time at Little Man Ice Cream to make questionable decisions about scoop size. No regrets. The drive through downtown Golden was a surprise bonus we didn't know we needed. Then came the RiNo murals, which we were already excited about, until it got even better. We got to meet Pat Milbery and Gamma, two of Denver's most celebrated muralists, working alongside young girls as part of their youth work in the community. Seeing that up close was genuinely moving. We were so starstruck we completely forgot to take a picture with them. Rookie mistake. Guess we'll just have to come back. Unforgettable day. Thank you, Mark!

Great stories, Great guide, and a Fun Night

We had a fun time on this ghost tour. Our guide, Jayce was spooky fun. He was an entertaining and fantastic storyteller. He brought the history and spooky stories to life with just the right mix of humor, suspense, and interesting details. If you are looking for a fun way to explore Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood while hearing some fascinating and creepy local history, I definitely recommend this tour.

Great experience

Our tour guide Mac was awesome. She is extremely knowledgeable about local area and the destination. She explained all the specific foliage and the animals in the areas. Had tips to avoid issues like elevation sickness and the symptoms. She truly made our tour more meaningful. Highly recommend this tour. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate so we could not reach the summit. We did get to explore and take some great photos at 11,000ft. We had a great time. Very satisfied.

Fantastic Aspire RMNP tour!

I highly recommend this tour with Aspire! Our guide, Rico, was terrific! Lots of info about the park, animals, plants, history, etc. He was very friendly and fun, complete with a CO/mountain themed playlist in the drive back. Lots of stops to sightsee, snap pics, take bathroom breaks, visit park visitor centers. We stopped to hike down to a waterfall, just absolutely beautiful! We saw bighorn sheep, elk, coyote, yellow bellied marmots, picas, ground squirrels, chipmunks, magpies, and hawks. Just missed a moose. This is fantastic if you want to see and learn a lot, can tolerate sitting and driving on lots of narrow, windy dirt roads, can tolerate elevation from 8,000 to 12,000 feet, and love being in probably the most phenomenal place on earth!
