Amazing tour with professional, very capable and friendly guides. Highly recommended even to families with kids

We rented 2 Jeeps for our family of 6 and had an absolute blast! It was the perfect off-roading experience; better than we expected and more rugged than we expected, which was perfect! It was an exciting adventure and Brandon was awesome, personable, and made sure everyone was having fun! It was a true Colorado experience and a must do!

Forking over $500 for a an experience isn't a small decision for our family, and I'm delighted to report that it was worth every penny! No one in our car had ever done any off-roading, and I honestly expected it to be pretty mild, but it was pleasantly gnarly for this novice. We were hoping for a moose sighting it settled for an elk. We saw tons of pretty wildflowers and got some stunning views. Brandon was great. The Jeep was great. Like I said at the beginning ... Worth every penny.

It was fabulous! Tom and Alma were awesome. They both made us feel comfortable about the drive. Tom always was in contact with us on the radio giving us information about the area and pointing out sights! It was a great day!!

Our Jeep tour was simply amazing. Brenden, the tour operator, was extremely knowledgeable and made the trip really fun. Would definitely do again

Great off road trip. Get ready to drive over rock filled trails. Branden was the best. The Jeep Rubican is an awesome machine

Brandon was great! Funny, knowledgeable, and very encouraging to everyone in our group. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a different way to see the Rockies.

Highlight of our mom/daughters trip!! So rugged, so fun, and so beautiful! Our guide helped everyone change gears for terrain and stayed in constant comm with us all via walkie talkies. BOOK THIS HALF OR FULL DAY JEEP EXCURSION. YOU WONT REGRET IT, but you will if you don't do it. The stops for pics are amazing. Truly a beautiful and memorable experience in our pink Jeep. Loved it!

Brandon was an incredible guide & historian! The tour was exciting & adventurous. Would definitely recommend YOU DRIVE Jeep Experience.
Look forward to a sunset tour on our next Colorado visit

This was definitely a hilight of our trip to CO! First time jeep drivers and our guide/owner walked us through everything we needed to know/do. Would 100% recommend this experience!

With low-moderate experience 4 wheeling, we booked this trip. It absolutely overdelivered!!! Brandon and Alma’s experience, knowledge, stories, guidance, and paparazzi of our trip made it the highlight of our week in Denver. We took a route for myself which was more difficult and technical and my daughter with less experience - finished the drive back - perfect compilation for the day of fun. I was VERY IMPRESSED. You will LOVE this trip. 12/10 recommend

We had a great time being able to maneuver the rough terrain portion of the tour, with the guidance (using a handheld radio / walkie talkie) of Brandon, our tour guide. Brandon was in his own Jeep ahead of us. There are several tour levels of difficulties you can select from easy/moderate, intermediate, to advance levels. We had spectacular view of the snow capped mountains and the lake was beautiful. I highly recommend this tour; and actually already have recommended this tour to my sister and her family. Thank you Brandon for providing my family with a memorable 4th of July!

Took the time to explain Four-Wheel Drive System (4×4) and the difference between AWD, 4x4, and the 4x4 system of the Jeep. The correct way to use these systems and the correct way to prepare for your trip. Great experience and fun trails.

Excellent experience …. We enjoyed every minute of this activity, and got highly impressed with the professionalism of the staff.
Vehicles were in great condition, staff was very knowledgeable of the equipment and mountain route, the tour was flexible and adjusted to the skills and expectation of drivers, and to top it off, a number of nice surprises to take home!
100% worth it….. if you visit the area don’t miss the chance to do this!
