Alex made the tour great. His knowledge of the history of the area and how organized he was made it a great day. One of the best all day tours we have booked!
So grateful to have been able to book this tour last minute after another with a different company cancelled the day before. Alex was a friendly and knowledgeable guide that gave us plenty of time to explore on our own at each stop, and I appreciated the free history lessons in between. Truly a great value and definitely recommend!!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We know how incredibly stressful it can be to have travel plans disrupted at the last minute, so we are so glad we could swoop in and save the day after your other tour cancelled! Alex is an absolute gem, and we're thrilled that you enjoyed his historical commentary just as much as having plenty of free time to explore each beautiful stop at your own pace. Providing an exceptional, high-value experience is exactly what we strive for. I'll make sure Alex gets your wonderful shout-out. We hope to welcome you back for another stress-free adventure the next time you're in Colorado!
The trip itself was good road trip. The vehicle was ok. The views were good at the Loveland pass which was fully covered in snow. But the timing at each stop was very less. So if you want to enjoy take a private vehicle instead of shared vehicle like this. Also I want to be very critical of the tour guide Alex. He is not a people person and the worst. I have made multiple guided tours before in Europe but Alex is the worst tour guide I have seen.
Hello Ram Kumar, as we told your other 2 travel partners, Karthik and Saravana Kumar your repeated tardiness at every stop required him to speak to your group about the necessity of being back to on time as your repeated tardiness at every stop delayed and disrespected the other travelers. Many other tour groups would leave without you when you are that late, but Alex was kind and waited for your group every time your group was late. I agree that you should drive your own vehicle next time so you do not disrupt the schedule for the rest of the guests on the tour that do return from stops on time and you can take all the time you want at every stop. I am glad you enjoyed our itinerary and stops an that our brand new touring vans were ok for you and your group. The snow on the top of Loveland Pass is beautiful and a treat for sure. Sorry group tours are not a fit for your group.
Our trip organizer Alex was unnecessarily rude. We came here to enjoy ourselves, but his behavior spoiled the mood by threatening to leave us. We were only two minutes late—arriving at 1:47 pm instead of 1:45 pm—which doesn’t justify speaking to customers in such a harsh and disrespectful way.
We have reviewed the logs and spoke with Alex regarding your tour, and we have a very different perspective on the day's events. Our records show that your party was over 15 minutes late for the initial pickup and continued to be at least 10 minutes late at every single stop throughout the day. Being a tour guide requires balancing the needs of the entire group. When one party is consistently late, it directly disrespects the other guests and the schedule they paid for. You were not late by 2 minutes at the last stop you were late by over 10 minutes. Alex’s priority is to ensure the majority of the group has a fair and timely experience. We stand by our guides when they have to be firm to keep a tour on track. The friction was a direct result of your party's repeated delays and disrespect to the other passengers time and tour.
You will experience the most beautiful scenery! Hopefully you will get Alex as your guide. He was awesome!
Scenery and Alex—a winning combination! We’re so glad you had an awesome experience. Thanks for the high praise and the 5-star support. We’ll definitely share your "hopefully you get Alex" tip with the rest of the team! See you next time for more mountain magic.
Alex was a great guide! Excellent knowkedge about the Denver region including it's history and willing to share it.
Great guides make for great trips! We’re thrilled that Alex was able to share his extensive knowledge of Denver’s history with you. It’s our goal to provide tours that are as informative as they are fun, and we’re glad we hit the mark. Thanks for the 5-star review and for choosing us for your Denver adventure!
Awesome experience, loved being up in the snow at Breckenridge. Will was a wonderful tour guide with lots of knowledge of the tour. Would highly recommend to anyone!!!
There is nothing quite like being up in the snow at Breckenridge, is there? We’re so happy you had such a magical day out there. Will is a wonderful part of our team, and his passion for the area is truly infectious. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Thank you for sharing your experience—we’d love to host you for another trip whenever you're back in the area!
We all had a great time on this tour. Will (Tour Guide and Driver) was very helpful during the trip and extremely knowledgeable about everything we asked. The trip itself was great and I highly recommend taking it (just dress warm!). Thanks Will for treating us so well - he deserves a raise!!!
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are delighted that Will’s helpful nature made such a positive impact on your experience. And we will definitely pass along your kind words (and your raise recommendation) to him! It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon!
I really enjoyed the itinerary as a first time visitor to CO. The guide Will was kind and welcoming to everyone in our group. The van was clean and spacious too. The right amount of time was spent at each location. This will be a memorable trip for years to come. I highly recommend it and it’s also a great value.
Welcome to Colorado! We are so honored that you chose us for your first visit to the Centennial State. It’s wonderful to hear that Will made everyone feel so welcome—he’s great at creating that inclusive group atmosphere. We’re thrilled the itinerary and the comfort of our van helped make this a trip you’ll remember for years. Thank you for the high recommendation!
Our trip was truly BEYOND AMAZING! I planned this Colorado adventure as a graduation gift for my daughter, who just earned her bachelor’s degree, and this tour ended up being one of the absolute BEST decisions we made. It was the highlight of our entire trip. I’ve taken a tour before with another company, and it was fine… but this one? This one completely blew it out of the water. It didn’t just meet expectation…it shattered them! I loved that it wasn’t hours of boring driving. Instead, it was nonstop stunning views, fun stops, and fascinating information that kept us engaged the entire time. Even the drives felt magical because of the scenery and all the stories and history we learned along the way. And then there was Hans, our tour guide. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He made the experience unforgettable. His energy was fun and positive, his humor was spot-on, and he had this natural way of connecting with everyone that instantly made the whole group feel comfortable. He kept the day exciting without ever feeling overwhelming, and we appreciated that so much. We visited so many breathtaking places like the Continental Divide, Sapphire Point, Breckenridge, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, each one more beautiful than the last. Sharing these moments with my daughter made it even more special. It’s a trip neither of us will ever forget. I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about this tour and about Hans. They made our mother–daughter celebration truly unforgettable. We will absolutely be booking again, next time with the entire family in tow!
It is so heartwarming to hear how this trip turned into such a beautiful celebration of your daughter’s hard work and her graduation. It sounds like Hans really has that magic touch too. Please give us a call next time you are in Colorado, we would love to take WHOLE family out!
