    Troy was an excellent guide he stopped and gave us very informative talks on our surroundings as we hiked. He choose the perfect hike for our group. It was a great experience. I would highly recommend him as a guide and the company.

    Great trail, great guide

    Luke_S, Aug 2023
    It was a great trail with fun historical monuments and facts. Ty was an awesome guide. I will be requesting him the next time I book.

    We had the pleasure to have Jerry S. as our guide. We ended up doing the full day (instead of the half day). Jerry was very knowledgeable of the history and the trials. Even when I was not feeling good due to my body still setting used to the height he was very patient and helpful. If you don't have a lot of experience hiking (or even if you do) Jerry S. will be and outstanding guide for you!! (IMO)

    Thank you David for leaving your honest review! We're very happy to hear you were supported by your guide during the hike.

    Beautiful tour!

    Eric_S, Jul 2023
    This far exceeded my expectations. Originally booked for this trip - due to lack of participants I was offered the Denver Foothills Explorer half day tour and loved it. Sean was the guide and he knew EVERYTHING about what we saw that day - from the history of the state, the city to in depth info on the nature we got to see and did it in a very fun, informative way. Coupled with the amazing sites - Rocky Peaks, Dinosaur hill, Lookout Mtn, etc. - it was a perfect way to get to see and explore the area in just four hours. If all the guides are like Sean, this is a highly recommended way to spend an afternoon!

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    We're so excited to hear that you enjoyed your Denver Foothills Explorer Tour - and thank you for your flexibility. All our guides are super like Sean, so we hope to see you again!

    Amazing!

    Our guide, Nicole was very polite and knowledgeable. She made our trip wonderful. I rated 4 stars because the AC in the van was not working and it was rather hot and uncomfortable on the way- but that was out of our guide’s control. She did everything she could to make us comfortable, and for that we were grateful. We had an amazing experience!

    Great guide but disappointed

    Danny_T, Aug 2022
    Our guide Jed was excellent. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, very experienced. Our issue was we expected more for the price. We were expecting to go to the national park and to have a more real Rocky Mountain experience, not just the foothills. We went to a free public park instead. I would recommend but not at this price point.

    Response from Host, Sep 2022

    Hi Danny, thank you for your feedback on your guide- we're very glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Jed on the trail! If you'll notice from the TripAdvisor description of the Half Day Hike tour, it does mention that the tour goes to Evergreen, CO and not Estes Park (where the national park is located), and a map is provided. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your tour further, please give us a call at 720-583-0654.

    Just book it!

    Our guide, Jed was awesome! Knows Denver, plants, history, you name it! Had a fantastic time. If you are nervous to go solo, do be! It was a great experience.

    Thumbs Up!

    AMAZING HIKE!

    Samantha_H, Aug 2022
    elsa was fantastic! it was a great hike and she was super informative! I learned that the Aspen trees are so cool. There were great views and she pushed us on the hike but made sure to keep everyone together and take breaks when we needed.

    An Amazing Day

    Julie_C, Aug 2022
    I was originally booked to go on a half day hike, but agreed to be switched to the whole day hike. I am so glad I made the change. Zach was an amazing guide!! He is extremely knowledgeable as well as very personable. He took great care of all of us and made sure we weren’t taking on more than we could handle. The scenery was breathtaking. I would happily book this adventure again. Thank you Zach!

    Awesome

    Joe_B, Aug 2022
    Elsa at Alpine was amazing. She was very patient with all of the different skill levels in our Middle Aged group and was super knowledgeable on all things Colorado. She challenged us on a beautiful trail. Don’t forget to stop and look around. Highly recommend Elsa at Alpine if you can get her.

    Nice Hike but preferred to go further north to the National Park

    Tameka_W, Aug 2022
    We booked this trip because it had great reviews, views looked amazing and we only wanted to do a half day event. I wanted my husband to experience the Rocky Mountains as this was his first time in Denver. Our tour guide was Nick and he was very helpful and friendly. We took about a 4 mile hike up in Mount Falcon Park which is west of Denver near Morrison, CO. We got great views of Red Rock from up above, saw a mule training for a race, and witnessed a rattlesnake sighting. However, I was expecting a trip north closer to the Rocky Mountain National Park based on the map provided in the tour description itinerary. We even dressed as if we were heading to a cooler climate. Instead, we were only in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains @ ~8,000 ft elevation. My suggestion for future "hikers" is to ask where the tour will take place for the day in order to manage your expectations.

    Response from Host, Sep 2022

    Hi Tameka, Thank you for joining our hiking tour. Our full day tours go to the National Park. For our half day hikes we stay closer to Denver but we do hike in the Rocky Mountains, just on lower elevation.

    Beautifully stunning views!

    Elaine_T, Jul 2022
    My experience was incredibly remarkable. I have never seen a view like this before! Definitely worth going to and recommending.

    Fun Hike and Great Views

    Nancy_Y, Jul 2022
    This was a great hike with Elsa! The hike itself took about 2 to 2.5 hours. There were great views for photos. Be prepared with comfortable sneakers, sunblock, and sunglasses or a hat. Some parts of the hike were a bit rocky so you must pay attention as you are hiking. Overall, i would recommend this hike! I had a fun time and a good workout with lots of scenic photos.

    Just what we wanted

    Debbie_S, Jul 2022
    We had a great experience on our hike. Mike H was a terrific guide. His knowledge of the terrain and all things Denver made this a great experience. Plus we got to see Bison on the trail. I would strongly recommend.

    Great hike, highly recommend!!

    Jillian_S, Jul 2022
    The hike was great we didn’t have a lot of time so taking this hike with a guide was perfect. Ty was so nice and knowledgeable, we learnt so much and he made it fun for the kids too. Highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Jul 2022

    Thanks for leaving us such a positive review on your Half Day Hike with Ty! We're excited that you had such a good time on the trail, it's a great time to be hiking in Colorado. We hope to see you on tour again soon!

    Great use of a half day!

    Kenny_B, Jul 2022
    The views were wonderful and the guide was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and nice! He knew every question we asked and gave great insight on hiking and other activities to do in And around Denver.

    Great time, great guide

    Susan_H, Jul 2022
    This weekend I took the Half Day Rocky Mountain hike. What a beautiful way to spend the morning! The drive to the hike was very scenic in itself, we even rode by Red Rocks Amphitheater. The hike led us up to a scenic spot with mountains all around us, great for photos. After the hike we had extra time, so we stopped in the charming town of Evergreen, where we could relax by the lake or shop and eat. Our guide, Elsa, was accommodating from start to finish, not walking too fast nor too slow, being very considerate of all of her guests. Thank you for a great visit to the Rockies Elsa!

    Bear Creek Trail

    Angela_N, Jul 2022
    Our tour guide, Elsa, took our group to hike Bear Creek Trail. It was a great 3.5 mile loop. We had great views and the hike was not too difficult. Elsa was very knowledgeable of our surrounding nature. After we were able to visit a local town nearby for coffee before heading back to Denver. Elsa offered great tips for some local spots to eat after the hike. We would definitely book another tour with them.

    Response from Host, Jul 2022

    Hi Angela! We're glad to hear Elsa facilitated such a great tour for you and your group! We'd love to have you back with us again soon!

    Arron is very informative and you can tell he love his job and always make sure everyone is having a great time. I would definitely do this tour again next time I am in Denver. And would recommend to family and friends

    Beautiful scenery. Josh...

    Hayley_H, Jun 2022
    Beautiful scenery. Josh was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable about the area. Hike wasn't too strenuous.

    New Experience

    Jaleesa_M, Jun 2022
    Your tour guy Jed was great, super patient with my group. This was our first hike on this type of terrain (mountainous, not paved). This is an easy- intermediate hike for someone who has hiked this type of terrain before. The trail was hilly going AND on the way back. Even more work on the way back. Overall, we made it and had a great time.

    Spectacular scenery and experience!

    Patricia_F, Sep 2021
    Jed was an amazing tour guide. The hike and brew our family enjoyed yesterday will be the highlight of our trip to Denver.

    Awesome Boulder Experience

    Bert_B, Sep 2021
    Our guide Jed was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and we all had a super time! The hike difficulty was perfect for our group and the craft beer very tasty. I highly recommend this tour.

    Best tour guide around !

    Holly_P, Aug 2021
    This was one of our favorite activities of our bachelorette weekend!! Jed was an amazing tour guide— very knowledgeable, kind, and took amazing group photos for us! We would highly recommend any tour with Jed!!

    Great hike

    Tamara_R, Aug 2021
