5.00Though the excursions are amazing, you will spend a few hours in the van, but it's comfortable and the guide keeps you engaged.

5.00Had an amazing experience on this tour. It was my first ever tour and first time in the Rockies. Anne did a phenomenal job engaging and providing a memorable experience. The bar has been set high for any future tours I do. I did the full day tour and it was just perfect to see the true beauty of the rocky mountains. Highly recommend.

5.00🌟 5-Star Review I booked an Aviator tour to the Rocky Mountains and had an amazing experience. Our guide, Hans, was kind, patient, and truly excellent from start to finish. He made the entire journey enjoyable, informative, and stress-free. His knowledge of the area, combined with his calm and friendly personality, made the tour unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour — and especially Hans — if you want a perfect Rocky Mountain experience!
Just a ride not a tour.

1.00Didn't like it at all. Wasn't worth my time and money. Advertisement was better than the experience. But I guess we paid for the drive to the mountain. Didn't see nothing. Didn't experience nothing. Not a tour just a ride. If you are scared to drive up the mountain. A bunch of stops.
Great tour with great guide! Thanks Hans!

5.00Hans was a great guide! Super much seen, much learned and had a very nice atmosphere! The spots were great and you had enough time everywhere to take a look at everything in peace and circle the lakes. The spots were also very little visited (November), which improved the experience even more!
Awesome Tour and Company

5.00My wife and I took three Colorado tours in three days, and this was by far our favorite. Our guide, Phil, was easily the best guide we had out of all of the tours.

5.00Totally enjoyable trip seeing mountains, sheep, elk, mule deer and wild turkeys. Planned route was blocked due to controlled burnings but our guide Phil did a great job alternating to Bear Lake which turned into a very picturesque walk with plenty of photo ops. Enjoyable day trip that I would recommend. Had 12 people but van ride was very comfortable.
Highly Recommend this Tour (and Phil!)

5.00My wife and I did three Colorado tours in three days, each with a different tour group and guide. Phil from Colorado Sightseer was our absolute favorite guide, and this was the best tour of our trip. He had to adjust the itinerary due to controlled burns at the park, but we loved the changes that he made.
Flawless trip and top tour guide

5.00Fantastic day out with a very gifted tour guide, Stephen, who looked after all his guests with care and respect. The tour is well put together and goes through amazing sights. Pick-up and drop-off at Union Station were timely. Would recommend 100%, though wish the van had a glass roof!
