Great tour for everyone visiting Denver for the first time! Alex was our tour guide. He was amazing, very informative, and professional with a great sense of humor. Accompanied by a diverse group. Beautiful concert venue at the Red Rocks Amphitheater. Peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking views at the Lookout Mountain. Excellent photo opportunities on each stop, and delicious food at Golden. So If you are looking for a fun half day adventure: look no further… this is your tour!
The experience was overall very good except for guide mixing up itinerary and we were unable to make a stop I was looking forward to. Guide should have a mic on. We were sitting on rear and missed out on so much information.
Hi Vanessa, we’re sorry the missed stop and difficulty hearing the commentary took away from an otherwise enjoyable day. Guests seated toward the back should be able to hear and enjoy the guide’s commentary, too. We appreciate you bringing these shortcomings to our attention.
Van and trip overall was nice, but the biggest issue was that the guide didn't actually know the stops that were included so we completely missed Wild Bill museum and ended uo driving around a hillside neighborhood looking for buffalo that never appeared instead. When someone asked about the museum she said the route had changed due to traffic and they were working to get the website updated. She did at least confess later that she looked back at the route and apologized that we didn't go there because we were supposed to. She was very nice, but usually on a Viator trip we get more history or general info as we are driving from place to place. She did have a few things along the way, but there were long periods of travel silence as well. The timing of rhe 4 hour trip was nice, but pad some time because we got back around a half hour late.
Deborah, you should have been able to enjoy your day without uncertainty about the itinerary. We’re sorry the missed museum stop, limited commentary, and later-than-expected return left you disappointed. This fell short of the organized, informative experience we aim to provide.
Good tour, our tour guide Ryan was very knowledgeable. Red Rocks was amazing. All the stops we made were incredible.
Hi Charles, thank you for joining us on our Denver and Foothills Mountain Tour. We’re glad you enjoyed Ryan's knowledge and that Red Rocks and the other stops were highlights of the day. We hope you have the chance to explore more of Colorado with us in the future.
Great tour to explore places outside Denver for people who don't want to drive just want to enjoy the ride
Hi Robert, thank you for joining us on our Denver and Foothills Mountain Tour. We’re glad the tour gave you an easy and relaxing way to explore some of the beautiful places outside Denver without having to worry about the driving. We hope you’ll join us again on another Colorado adventure.
Loved this tour! The stop at Red Rocks Amphitheatre was stunning, and the views from Lookout Mountain over the Rockies and downtown Denver were incredible. Watching the buffalo roam Genesee Park was an unexpected highlight, and Golden was a great last stop to walk and dine in. My wife and I really enjoyed the scenery the whole way through — highly recommend.
Thank you, Nicholas! We’re glad you and your wife enjoyed the variety, from Red Rocks and the views at Lookout Mountain to that unexpected buffalo sighting. It’s lovely to hear that a walk and a meal in Golden rounded out your day in the foothills.
Ryan our guide was great and very knowledgeable.
Red Rocks is such a memorable place to explore, and we’re happy you loved your visit! Thank you for recognizing Ryan’s knowledge and taking the time to leave a review. We’re glad you chose ilimo for your day in the Denver foothills.
Great tour. We were able to stop and photo many bison! The drive down may make you queasy going around the tight turns! Our driver was very informative about Denver's history.
The bison sound like a memorable highlight, Marsha—what a great opportunity for photos! We’re glad you also enjoyed learning about Denver’s history along the way. Thank you for sharing your experience, including the helpful note about the winding mountain roads.
Alex, our driver & guide was full of interesting information. A half day tour was excellent and I recommend it. Highlight of the day was Red Rocks Amphitheatre. We were allowed plenty of time at each place and ended in the town of Golden for lunch on our own. Then a quick ride back to our meeting point by the Train/bus station.
Thank you, Rose! We’re glad the half-day pace suited you and that Alex’s local knowledge added to each stop. Red Rocks is a memorable highlight, and it’s lovely to hear you also enjoyed time in Golden before returning to Denver.
Ryan did a great job. the tour gave us a nice overview of Denver and he answered all our questions. he spoke clearly and loud enough for all of us to hear.
Thank you, Natalie! Clear commentary and time for questions make a difference, so we’re glad Ryan made it easy for everyone to follow along. It’s lovely to hear the tour gave you a good introduction to Denver and the foothills.
