5.00Upon arrival at Denver airport, we took our rented car and headed directly to Estes Park via the Peak to Peak Highway. It takes about two hours longer, depending on many stops you take, but it is worth every minute. There are numerous stops you can make to get out and enjoy the beauty and scenery and that is what we did. We made many stops, some quick and others a bit longer; I cannot remember exactly where we stopped but that is also very personal - take the drive and just stop whenever you see something that appeals to you. The scenery of the mountains, view the continental divide and all the wildlife and lakes, it makes for one memorable drive and a wonderful way to begin your vacation in the Rockies.
Bull Deer and. Patterson Glassworks Studio and Gallery made a mountainous pleasure of this memorable trip!

5.00I was duely impressed with the park and nature in my face! The last long snow from a week ago rang my Christmas Bells! I so loved the deer- wild and foraging on the sun uncovered vegetation. Patterson Glassworks Studio and Gallery provided a place to warm up to the artists in glassworks and experience art in motion. I am enjoying my piece of glassworks for Christmas, thank you.
WOW!

5.00Yo this is a must coming to Denver! If you want to come for nature and the pure beauty of this city. They are the ones made for this experience. Everyone there will make you feel apart of a family. I came alone on vacation and built a bond with everyone there. Will was super cool! He had knowledge and history of everything. He also very polite and had top manners to all. Will will make sure you are comfortable from the start to finish and shows high characteristics. Thank you too also Christian for providing me with all the information before I headed to the city. Also for making sure I got my phone back ASAP! Thank you! This is where you need to go and be!!!

Relaxed Tour Of The Rocky Mountains

5.00We are in Denver from the UK visiting family, and on recommendation decided to take a tour with "Colorado Sightseer", we were on the Peek to Peak. And we're lucky to have Christin the owner as our guide. She is super friendly and relaxed , being a Denver local ,full of information, as much or as little as you may want , and a "mine "of facts folklore and all sorts of things that you would never pick up on your own. The Peak To Peak takes you through the majestic Rocky Mountains with its stunning panoramas. We were fortunate to see a herd of female Elk,a privalige ,but apparently regular sight,all sorts of wildlife and birds are a possible , so keep your eyes peeled ! There are lots of opportunities for photos, with stops and walks ( we took in a beautiful lakeside walk en route ) and Christin was more than happy to be flexible within the tour,providing us with lots of little nuggets (Denver pun !) along the way. We stopped at Estes Park for lunch,a picturesque little mountain town with lots of cool shops and eateries. We also took in the famous Stanley Hotel ,lots of history and a small libation if you fancy,well worth the effort. So in summary we would fully recommend "Colorado Sightseer", do NOT miss it whilst you are in Town, a number of different tours are available .... Paul and Bev Staffordshire United Kingdom

5.00Hi highly recommend this company for anyone with 1/2 day or a full day & looking to get out of the city to see more of beautiful Colorado. Christin picked us up promptly in their clean and comfortable van. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the locations we visited & made sure we were well taken care of along the way. Thank you for a great day! Andrea & Wes
