This is a fully private day tour for your group only, driven by a professional chauffeur in a luxury SUV or Mercedes Sprinter. Door to door pickup from your Vail or Beaver Creek lodging, a photo stop on the 12,095 foot summit of Independence Pass, free time in downtown Aspen, and a scenic return through Glenwood Canyon. One flat price per vehicle, not per person, so a full group travels for less than most shared bus tours. Relax with bottled water, leave the mountain driving to a local expert, and set your own pace all day.
