Wonderful day trip

5.00My daughter and I had a great time visiting the Rocky Mountains for the day. Our guide, Brennon, was very knowledgeable and provided information and advice well beyond a typical guide. He was also very attentive with the senior members of the group. We lucked out on beautiful weather, spectacular scenery, no crowds, and animal sightings.
A lot of fun!

5.00Our guide was super knowledgeable about so many things in Colorado! He was a great driver on those roads leading to Rocky Mountain National Park! All the places we stopped were beautiful! The only issue my sister and I had is, one of the places we stopped to shop. We didn’t have enough time to look around the huge store. One of the towns we stopped in for lunch had no vegan lunch options for us, so we had to have Vegan ice cream for lunch. Which was delicious! So If you are vegan be sure to bring snacks! We only saw a few mule deer. Overall it was fun! I would definitely recommend using this tour company. You do have to pay for parking close to where they meet up. All the stops were beautiful!
What an amazing tour! We...

4.00Jared is so knowledgable and always provides useful tips and recommendations. His narration was perfectly accompanied by soothing background music - he mentioned it was inspired by figure skating - love it. All in all, don’t miss out on the beautiful scenery and this engaging, informative tour. And if you’re visiting in winter, be sure to dress warmly, protect your head from the wind, and stay hydrated!

5.00This tour was the star of my Denver trip in which I also went down to Colorado Springs for Royal gorge train and cog train to pike peak summit from manitou springs , Jason our tour guide is a lively character , very knowledgeable and a very safe driver as well , we saw many elks and different types of wildlife , the snow was just perfect to blanket everything for awesome pictures but not making it too cold either , and it was a memorable day in the Rocky Mountain winter wonderland that I will cherish for long
