What an experience

ANKE_K, Aug 2024

The views were unbelievable, great guide and then some wildlife sprinkled in - such a great day! The drive itself is spectacular and then the views from the top - unbelievable

Great service all the way...

Beverly_L, Jul 2022

Great service all the way to my hotel. Driver/guide Roman was kind, humorous, and professional. He took great care to offer me options because of the limits imposed by my age. I would consider this tour preferable to driving oneself.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Enjoyable views; dangerous drive Driver was good at her job but not very friendly.; was conversing with just a couple of guests and semi ignoring the rest of us unless asked directly.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Dear Kiron, thank you very much for taking the time to review our Mount Evans tour. We are happy to see that you have enjoyed the views and felt safe on the road. We will re-train the tour guide and make sure she is conversing with the whole group. Thank you
