Dean was very knowledgeable. Told wonderful stories of the history of Aspen. We visited areas we wouldn’t have found on our own. Would highly recommend

Awesome tour. Dean incorporated the history and architecture styles of the homes into the tour. Dean is very knowledgeable of Aspen, plus he answered all our questions. The our took us a few blocks off Main Street, it was fabulous to see the Roaring Fork River, Hallam Lake and John Denver Sanctuary. Just a beautiful walk! We enjoyed it so much that we signed up for the Aspen East End hike the next day!

Dean’s in-depth knowledge and description of Aspen’s history and architecture plus the walk though the Nature trail and the John Denver Park were the highlight of out three days in Aspen.
