Susan_F, Jun 2026
It’s a relaxing, very informative, and a very enjoyable experience. SB was our guide. She was very knowledgeable, informative, and personable. She encouraged questions. We learned so much about the city she clearly loves. Buses were clean and in good condition. We appreciated the ice cream stop and ticket! Time and money well spent! Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Susan,
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that SB was able to provide an informative and personalized experience for you. Thank you for the review and the recommendation to others!
Philip_W, Jun 2026
We met "SB" at the designated spot and we were off in no time. She provided some great narration along the way, mixed with some humor and interesting stories. We especially enjoyed our time at Red Rocks and the wonderful scenery. Thanks again SB!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Philip,
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with SB and were able to take in the beautiful scenery of Red Rocks. Thank you so much for giving us this review!
Catherine_B, Jun 2026
This tour was exactly what we were hoping for! Our first time in Denver and SB was our guide and she was wonderful! Told us so many awesome stories, answered all of our questions, and is super knowledgeable about Denver.
The Red Rocks Amphitheater was amazing! And the scoop of ice cream from Little Mans was delicious. I am so glad we decided to do this tour at the beginning of our trip. Gave us places to go back and check out after. Definitely do this tour if you have the time, worth it.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Catherine,
Thank you so much for your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with SB and were able to identify some must-see again places to circle back to!
Tammy_B, Jun 2026
We knew nothing of Denver, we enjoyed the City sites and Red Rock Amphitheater. We were so impressed of the architecture, repurposing the old building. We hope to return to Denver and spend more time
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Tammy,

Bring a water bottle. Trip leader was friendly, informal and knowledgeable. Coyod have stayed longer at central market.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the 5-star review, Idylle! We're so glad you had a delightful day and enjoyed the tour with us.
We also appreciate your feedback about Central Market. To keep the tour running on schedule and respect all guests' time, we limit our stops to about 10 minutes. That said, Central Market is one of our favorite spots as well, and guests are always welcome to return and spend more time exploring it after the tour.
We hope to welcome you back on another tour the next time you're in Denver!
Kathy_S, Jun 2026
Good, would have liked to go by Molly Brown house. Some more Denver history. Mark was very entertaining and a good singer.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Kathy,
Thank you for your 5-star review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Mark. We try to jam pack as much Denver History and unique spots as we can with our short time together and many of our other tours do visit the Molly Brown House. We will take your suggestion into consideration for this route!

James_V, May 2026
I took the opportunity to do this tour while on a long layover flight. Very glad I did this, and enjoyed exploring the city and walk thru and see Red Rock Park and Amphitheater. Rob’s a very easygoing, friendly and funny tour guide. Thank you for the enjoyable ride, knowledge, and sweet treat throughout the whole trip. Cheers!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for the 5-star review, James! We’re so glad you loved the tour with us. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Rob too, he’ll love hearing that his humor, knowledge, and sweet treats helped make your trip so memorable.
Cheers, and we hope to see you again on a future visit to Denver!
Patricia_D, May 2026
Our guide for this tour was Rob. He was very knowledgeable, personable and engaging. This is a great tour to take early in your stay in Denver because he pointed out many places to see and do. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Patricia!
We’re so happy to hear you had such a great first experience in Denver. Rob will be thrilled to know his knowledge and friendliness helped make your tour so enjoyable.
Plus, we agree—taking this tour first gives you a great introduction to the city and helps you discover more places to explore during the rest of your stay, which is exactly what we hope for! We truly appreciate your recommendation and are so glad you chose to tour with us.
We hope to see you again someday!
Melissa_R, May 2026
Our driver was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, and friendly. The only downfall was Red Rocks was closed and we were unable to visit.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback, Melissa!
We’re happy to hear you had a great experience despite the Red Rocks being closed during your visit, but we appreciate your understanding.
Hopefully when you're back again in Denver, you can join our Red Rocks Express tour!
Angela_R, Apr 2026
Our guide, Brian, was great! We ended up with a snowy day which made visibility of the mountains and some other sites pretty much impossible but Red Rocks in the snow was beautiful. Brian’s Colorado history was great.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the 5-stars, Angela! We’re so glad Brian's company was amazing despite the weather. We hope that seeing the beautiful Red Rocks in the snow and staying warm in the cozy bus made up for the lack of visibility.
Definitely come and join us a again on a sunny day soon!
Jane_K, Apr 2026
Epsie was excellent. The tour gives you a good balance of Colorado history in 3 1/2 hours
We all really enjoyed

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
Julie_H, Oct 2025
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!!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review Julie. We are glad that we got to share all of the unique sights that make the Mile High City so unique and that we were able to share something new with you.

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
Response from Host, 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!

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.

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.

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

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

We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on another visit to Denver.

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.
