Pikes Peak COG Railway & Garden of Gods Tour

Katherine_B, Oct 2026

This is one of my...

This is one of my favourite tours I've ever done! The guide (Adam) was awesome - he got everyone talking and was funny and engaging. The drive out passed by in no time with his commentary and humour. The stops were well-planned and I feel I saw the best of Colorado. I took the trip primarily to find a way from Denver to the Cog Railway at Pikes Peak, so the added stops were a huge bonus. The final stop rounded out the day perfectly, and the tunes on the way back were perfectly curated. I'd highly recommend this trip.

Rocky Mountain National Park Guided Small Group Tour

Biren_C, Oct 2026

Easy hike

This was an ideal tour for all ages. We were able to see elk and birds on our tour. There was a flat 1 mile hike or you could climb 1000 feet on a mild hike. Eric was an excellent guide and was able to give us the history of the area so we could truly appreciate the Rockies. He was able to drive us up to 11,000 feet to see the tundra. A bonus visit to the Stanley Hotel, the setting for Steven King's The Shining!

Rocky Mountain National Park in Summer Tour from 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.

Red Rocks & Denver Foothills Scenic Tour

David_G, Oct 2026

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.

100 % recommended!

We had an absolute blast today! The tour was incredible from start to finish. Our guide, Ira, was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and informative. He shared so many great insights and absolutely left us wanting to come back for more! Even with a bit of rain, we were completely captivated by the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains and the beautiful trails. Exploring Idaho Springs, Echo Lake, and the other stops was a truly impressive experience. The tour was worth every single penny, and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Ultimate Denver Day Out Bus Tour: Red Rocks, City Sites & Sweets

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!

Twilight Ghost Tour

Charles_B, Sep 2026

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.

Small Group Tour of Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods from Denver

Frank_D, Sep 2026

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.

Discover Rocky Mountain National Park-Small Group Tour & Picnic

Phil_P, Aug 2026

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!
