5.00We wanted to see both Garden of the Gods and Pikes Summit while staying in Denver. We could not be happier with this tour. Zach made sure we had all the information as we spent the perfect amount of time at more than the two first mentioned. Thank you, Zach! The perfect introduction to history, geological information and fun facts of Colorado!

5.00It was a great experience with our host Alex. I went solo, and felt perfectly comfortable in the 12 seater van. We covered a surprisingly large number of spots given the duration. Not really hiking, more like short nature walks at each of the stops. Very enjoyable, I would recommend!
Absolutely a must see.
