Ryan arrived on time for our hike. It was a beautiful and challenging hike. Great views throughout the hike were the reward. Ryan was conscious of my “hiking” ability and adjusted the hike accordingly. If you are interested in hiking in Boulder , I would highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed and you will feel a sense accomplished after doing such an amazing hike!

I love hiking , and having a private tour with Aylin could not have gone better . We met at the beginning of the trail and she taught us about boulder in our way up . The hike was moderately challenged but she made it easy . What I love from private hikes we went at our pace and we were able to take pics rests and so on . I hope she starts to do more hikes in the near future . I recommend this activity 120%! Livania
Great morning activity! Good company. Highly recommend.

What a great little hike! To be honest, I thought it would be longer and more strenuous, but Ryan and I were having the best conversation... it went by fast and I was not ready to wrap up even when we were in the parking lot. 'Can't recommend this enough. I lived in Boulder for years and never did this hike -- so happy to have signed up for it on this trip. It does have a bit of uphill/elevation gain, but Ryan is happy to adjust his pace to match your needs.
A great hike!

It was great to go for a hike with Aylyn and Ryan! As a solo-traveller I am glad that there are guided tours like this one. They give you the opportunity to discover Boulder's beautiful nature in company. I totally enjoyed it!
