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.

Speculation Day at Rocky Mountain National Patka
We were conveniently picked up by Jorge at Union Station. He narrated information about RMNP during the drive and when we stopped at each location. He made it a point to talk about ecosystems and animals found within the park and found the most beautiful spots for us to walk about and take pictures. With his knowledge and easy going personality, I would easily recommend him as a day guide .

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.

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.

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!

Got moved from Rocky...
Got moved from Rocky Mountains to pikes peak and garden of gods due to low numbers. It was honestly an amazing experience I was dreading it. But the whole day turned out to be so much fun. Obviously all thanks to our guide, what an amazing job. Thankyou

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.

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.

Red Rocks Happy birthday tour 🎂
Christin was the most amazing, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable guide. We learned so much on the drive out and back. I really appreciate the extra time and attention she spent on things like highway construction and restructured our day to avoid sitting in traffic. Top notch customer service! She made an effort to get know people. She seems so full of joy to share Colorado with people and help them love it as much as she does. We will definitely book again! Thanks for a great day!!!

I had an amazing tour at Rocky Mountain National Park, and our guide Anne made the experience unforgettable. She was knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and clearly passionate about the park and wildlife. Anne shared so many interesting facts and made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour.

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!

Exceptional!
Our guide, Hans, was extremely knowledgeable about the history, nature, geology and social aspects of Colorado, easily addressing questions from all categories as we travelled to Breckenridge, Red Rocks and more. This was the highlight of our trip! Thank you!
