It's informative with bits of history and Denver folklore thrown in on the ride. Our guide, Mark, was knowledgeable and entertaining. The 45 minutes at Red Rocks seemed too short for exploring. Also, since Mark was bus driver and tour guide, it was impossible to ask questions along the way.
Hi Kathleen, Thank you so much for your review and for your positive comments regarding your experience with Mark and please know Mark and our entire team are happy to answer Qs and do so almost every tour, since the tours are small groups of 14 guests max. The Red Rocks Express Tour is our newest offering, which just launched a few months ago. We will absolutely take your feedback into consideration. Thank you for making us a part of your journey!
Mark was amazing - informative, funny, and so nice. The entire family truly enjoyed the experience! Thank you!!

We had a great time and our guide (SB) was awesome! It was the perfect quick trip to just see Red Rocks without spending hours on a half day trip that included other sites.

This is our newest offering, intentionally designed for travelers like yourself that want to see the famous Red Rocks as the highlight of their trip, so we sincerely appreciate the feedback!
It was so helpful to find a tour that picked up in downtown Denver because we did not rent a car on this trip. Sarah Beth was a wonderful tour guide and shared great stories and history. Loved the opportunity to explore the amplitheatre and visitor center.

Met in front of Union station. SB was great and responsive. Bus is clean and comfortable with AC. Dropped off right in front of Red Rocks entrance. 40-50 minutes to walk around the amphitheater. Whole tour is about 2 hours.
Hi Larry, Thank you for your 5-star review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your with SB and were able to stay comfortable during the heat!

It's great to hear your guide helped make the tour memorable. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another Colorado adventure soon!
Our tour guide was great, he (Mark) knew alot about the city along the way to Red Rock. He made our 30 year wedding anniversary nice!
Thank you so much for your 5-star review, Sharon! Happy 30th anniversary—what an amazing milestone! We're honored you chose to celebrate with us. Mark will be so happy to hear he helped make your special day even more memorable, and we're glad you enjoyed learning about the area on the way to Red Rocks. Wishing you both many more happy years and adventures together!
I had originally booked a different tour, but it was cancelled, as they needed more people. I was offered this excursion, and I loved it. It was through "Discover Denver Tours." Jill was kind in rebooking me for this and added the "Best of Denver Bus Tour: Highlights, Views & Local Favorites." I thoroughly enjoyed both of these with tour guide Mark, who sang to us as well. He's an accomplished singer and theatre instructor, so if you are fortunate to have him as your guide you will be entertained and informed. He has a vegan partner, so he knows his vegan venues, too. For this "Red Rocks Express Tour from Denver," it was just enough time to see the majestic amphitheater and the picturesque scenery along the way including where dinosaur bones were found. In addition, our guide pointed out the mile long of Coors Brewery in Golden, Colorado. Lol. Be kind to your liver in the Mile High City.
A must do when in Denver!!! We were travelling from Toronto and learned so much about Denver from our guide, who was knowledgeable as well as hilarious!!! A highlight of our trip for sure!!!
Thank you for sharing your awesome experience, Allison! We're so glad our Red Rocks Express Tour became such a memorable part of your visit. Plus, the tour guide made it more memorable! We truly appreciate your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
