It’s a great way to see red Rocks and to learn about different parts of the city when you only have a short time! Our tour guide was a former high school theater teacher- he definitely knew how to entertain us! The ice cream was also aoectacukar!

Our bus driver/tour guide Mark is also a charismatic singer/actor! (And you can tell, because he makes everything interesting and so much fun:)
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Carol. We’re glad you enjoyed the ice cream, that’s definitely the best part to wind down. Mark’s fun personality really does make every tour special, and his passion for what he does really shines through. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable day out in Denver.
Brenda_A, Oct 2025
The tour was canceled the day of due to not having enough riders, they canceled just a few hours before when we already made travel plans for the pick up spot. Keep in mind that they can cancel, I don’t recommend this to anyone
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Good afternoon Brenda,
Like all Viator tour operators, very occasionally, we do need to cancel a tour if you are the only guest signed up to join us. We make it our goal to reach out in advance to our wonderful guests to find a good alternate option. It's very rare to cancel a tour (this is the first one since May), more often they are sold out with a wait list, so our apologies it occurred on the day and time you choose to join us.
We offer 4-7 tours daily and we're sorry you weren't able to join us on another tour that day or another day and, for all of our guests, we're happy to issue a full refund through Viator, if there isn't a good alternative in these rare cases.
Thank you for your understanding and we wish you many wonderful future travels,
Jill

This trip was so much fun!! We were so impressed with the Red Rocks Ampitheater, all the cool artwork, and just so much information our guide Mark shared with us!! Mark was truly AMAZING!! He made sure all of us were having a good time, told us so much that we didn’t know, took us to incredible spots, and shared little details about his city with us!! We could tell that he wanted this to be a great experience, and we came away with such good feelings about Denver!! We VERY HIGHLY recommend this tour and Mark as your guide!!

Cold/windy at beautiful Red Rocks. Mark was entertaining and informative. Tour was five star. We loved the Denver murals, the ice cream stop and all. Ray and Jane

Melodie_J, Oct 2025
This was a wonderful tour! The highlight was going to Red Rock Amphitheater! I loved going to Red Rock! What an amazing place! Mark was a great guide! We also went to Golden and saw the sights in Denver! Loved the ice cream from Little Man’s ice cream! I would highly recommend this tour! Keep Red Rock as a tour stop! Made my visit to Denver a perfect trip!
Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’d love to welcome you back for another Denver adventure soon.
Christine_Z, Sep 2025
It was a great way to see Denver in a short time on my 2 day business trip. I really enjoyed the tour and all the stops. The drive was comfortable. Mark was fun and informative! I was solo so I like that he partnered us up for seating in the van. Mentioned when and where to use the restrooms. Red rock was amazing with plenty of time to check it out. The Rhino art district was cool as I saw a couple painters in action. The town of Golden is a lovely place and would like to explore more next time. Mark gave interesting facts along the way, and pointed out historic buildings and stories to go with it. I definitely recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for taking your time to leave us a wonderful review. We’re thrilled you chose our Ultimate Denver Day Out Bus Tour during your short stay and that it gave you such a great overview of the city. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the comfort of the drive, the variety of stops, and Mark’s fun and informative guiding style. Pairing up for seats is a nice way to make solo travelers feel connected, so we’re glad that stood out to you. Red Rocks, RiNo, and Golden are definitely highlights, and we’re happy you had time to enjoy each spot. We’d love to have you join us again whenever you’re back in Denver to explore even more. Thanks again for recommending the tour.

PATRICIA_H, Sep 2025
This was a fantastic tour for new visitors or even locals who want to know more about this amazing area! So interesting and we covered so much of the city of Denver, Red Rocks Amphitheater, and Golden. The driver and the tour guide were very knowledgeable, funny, and friendly. We highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2025

Maria_T, Sep 2025
Susan and Steve was amazing. Denver is beautiful and would recommend this trip to anyone. The only drawback is that for the most visited places you should spend a little more time. Red rock was beautiful wish we had spent time in Golden and stayed a little longer in Rino district. I think if you plan out to maybe spend about 30 mins in those top three spots and pass by some of the others it would be more amazing
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience on our Ultimate Denver Day Out Bus Tour. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring Denver with Susan and Steve, they’ll be so happy to know they made your first trip memorable. We truly appreciate your feedback on the timing of the stops, and we’ll keep your suggestions in mind as we continue to refine the tour. We’re so glad Denver left a beautiful impression on you, and we’d love to welcome you back for more adventures in the future.
Theresa_C, Sep 2025
We have a handicap member of our party and the road to the amphitheater was closed. The driver made a special effort to show us what he could and tell us about it. He really went out of his way to make sure we had a good time, even though we didn’t get to see the amphitheater. Originally I was going to ask for a refund, but after we had such a good time with the tour guide, I was very satisfied.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you Theresa for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to hear that despite the road closure, your guide was able to make a special effort to ensure your group had an enjoyable tour. It is important to us that all guests feel accommodated and have a positive experience, and we are happy that you were satisfied with the tour. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on another visit to Denver.
A_S, Sep 2025
Our tour started on time. Our tour guide, Mark, was absolutely wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the sites and extremely entertaining. He was also patient enough to answer all of our questions. We had a great time and felt fulfilled as we saw the highlights of Denver. The Red Rock Amphitheater is a must see. The ice cream was an added treat. We are Planning to come back to Denver again with my older children and will book this tour again and request Mark as our tour guide.
Response from Host, Sep 2025

Sharon_V, Sep 2025
It was easy to book. It was easy to find the meet up location. The van/bus was comfortable and clean. Our tour guide (SB) was personable, knowledgeable, kind and patient.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that the booking process was smooth and that everything from the meet-up to the van was comfortable.

John_S, Sep 2025
A/C on van is weak. Shocks need replacing. Bumpy ride but enjoyed the stops and the guide/driver. Brian
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you John for your feedback. We appreciate your honesty about the van’s A/C and ride comfort and will look into improvements. We’re glad to hear you still enjoyed the stops and that Brian made the tour enjoyable. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future with improvements implemented!
Dory_N, Sep 2025
Only suggestion is to have a checkin sign when you meet. Had to ask three vendors where to go. Mark was fun and made the trip enjoyable with his singing.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you Dory for your feedback! We appreciate your suggestion about having a clearer check-in sign and will look into improving that. We’re glad to hear that Mark made the tour fun and enjoyable, singing included! We hope to see you on another tour soon.

Great way to get a brief overview of sites to see. Red Rocks was great! The driver/host has a personality and good knowledge of the Denver area.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Chuck! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback on this tour, as it is one of our newer torus and we're truly eager to hear feedback from our wonderful guests on what they enjoyed. Your 5-star review means a ton to our small crew and we'll pass this on to your host for the day. Thanks for making our day with your kind words!
CYNDYE_P, Aug 2025
This is the perfect tour if time is limited. Lots of great sights in the perfect amount of time. Tour guide Mark is a natural. He has lots of knowledge and passion for Denver. He was very engaging and made everyone feel comfortable. Red rocks is amazing!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
So glad to hear you had a great experience, Cyndy. Thank you so much for joining us and you nailed Mark - he loves sharing our Denver stories in an engaging, light-hearted way. Thank you for sharing you loved Red Rocks - it's one of our favorite places.
Katie_L, Aug 2025
It was fun to see all the different parts of Denver! The red rocks were so cool and the different parts of downtown Denver. SB was a great guide!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
So glad to hear you loved Red Rocks, Katie. Thank you so much for taking time out of your travels here in Denver to leave feedback for our team and for future guests considering joining this tour. SB loves hosting these torus and we're so glad that came through while you got to see some of the unique areas of downtown Denver.
William_M, Jul 2025
Too much time spent at ice cream parlor and food court. The combined time of those two stops, approximately 50 minutes, could have been spent on two off-bus walking tours of famous monuments and other historical places.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for your feedback, William, and shoot, so sorry to hear it sounds like this wasn't a good fit for you. Our Best of Denver Bus Tour: Highlights, Views & Local Favorites may have been a better choice, as it packs in a lot of sights with just 1-2 photos stops while this tour is advertised as a tour where guests can enjoy a more leisurely paced tour with more photo opps, a bite/drink, & a little time to explore some sights on your own for a few minutes. For the future, Viator does have a great feature that shows each tour itinerary and the amount of time spent at different sites and stops on tours.
The ice cream stop is dependent on how long the line is and the RiNo Arts District stop to explore your choice of the Art Alleyway, murals, and Denver Central Market is the only restroom opportunity for guests after Red Rocks. I did speak with your guides and understand there was a bit longer line this day for ice cream and that a number of guests utilized the restroom in the Arts District so these tour stops did run about 5 minutes longer than average. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time here in Denver.
To our wonderful future guests: Please take a peek at Katie_L's review and Michelle's 5-star reviews as these guests were on the same tour.
Michelle_L, Jul 2025
I had an awesome time learning about Denver and Lil Man's Ice Cream was a treat! Don't miss out on this experience!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Big thanks for taking time out of your travels to share your review, Michelle! It means so much to our team to know you had a great time - thank you for putting a big smile on our faces today.
We're so glad you loved the combination of all the sights and the ice cream at our iconic, must-visit ice cream shop. Wishing you a great rest of your time here in the Mile High City.
Lynne_R, Jul 2025
Fun. Covers a lot of Denver. We loved seeing Red Rocks. We enjoyed Mark’s musical talent and his trivial knowledge of the area.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks so much for joining our Discover Denver Tours crew, Lynne! We're so glad you enjoyed seeing Red Rocks and the other sights while taking in Mark's lighthearted fun facts (and songs). We hope that you enjoyed the rest of your time here in the Mile High City.
