Awesome tour!
This was a great tour! Our guide Steve was awesome! Super knowledgeable of the area and used our time well so that we saw so much in our short amount of time. And after we realized that we’d left something in the van at the end of the tour, Steve drove all the way back to our hotel to return it. We couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience!

Amazing Rocky Mountain Experience!
Our Guides, Aaron and Josh were so fun and informative. We had so alot
laughs and a delicious lunch. They were able to answer all of our questions and I walked away with so much more knowledge than I ever expected! Next trip to Denver, I will definitely book with them. I highly recommend booking a tour with "Aspire!' Ask for Aaron and Josh as your guides!

A great tour with a greater guide
We did the Private Rocky Mountain National Park Tour with the wonderful Jed Gallaher and couldn't have been happier!
We were picked up right on time from our hotel in Denver and Jed is so knowledgeable about all things Colorado. He was extremely patient and informative as he expertly guided us through the forest pointing out different wildlife from Elks, deer to Moose. We even found baby strawberries in the forest and snacked on mustard greens which he picked and our son also became a junior ranger.
It is a ride around the forest (almost 70 miles) with steep terrain and certainly not for the faint hearted so having someone take the reign was a huge bonus.
It was such a wonderful day of exploration and we really enjoyed our dalliance with nature and seeing and hearing about the best of Colorado.
We are very pleased with our choice of activities and tour as we had a great time with a super great guide and would strongly recommend anyone visiting the Forest to book a tour with Aspire and just ask for Jed.
Operator response
Hey there! Wow! Elk, deer, and moose? You all lucked out! We're so happy to hear that Jed took such good care of you and your family, especially when it came to navigating those cliff-side routes. It's always reassuring when you have someone as experienced as him behind the wheel! We'd love to have you and your family back anytime, please reach out when you find yourself back here in Colorado!

I'm still on the "Colorado Rocky Mountain High"
The INCREDIBLE Gentry led us on the Private Rocky Mountain Escape from Denver tour with my Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society chapter on our visit to Colorado for a national convention. On our last day in Colorado, we went on this tour and this was one of the highest highlights of the trip. It's been a week since we were on this trip and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Gentry was the best tour guide ever. With her kind, helpful, and knowledgeable personality, she made this the experience of a lifetime for me and the rest of our group.
She picked us up from our hotel in Aurora and drove us to Denver, on the way to the Rocky Mountains, narrating the ride, the sights, and gave us a lot of history about Colorado on the way. (She also let us play our own music through Bluetooth which made for a cool experience driving into the mountains.)
She's extremely well-spoken, friendly, and got along with our group well. She made conversation and answered all of my questions about Colorado.
Our first stop was Red Rocks Amphitheatre - she parked and got off the bus with us and showed us around to the Rock and Roll Museum, the stage itself, and gave us some fun facts (the rocks form a natural amphitheater!) .
Our next stop was Mount Blue Sky, and this was my most favorite part of the tour. Gentry drove us up to the mountain range, pointed out the foothills and animals along the way. Once we got there, she checked for us to see if we could walk on the frozen lake, and then took photos of our group, and led us along a trail through the woods that's right next to it.
It was the definition of a scenic, happy, incredible experience - I have not stopped thinking about it since then.
Gentry truly allowed me to have one of the greatest days of my life with this incredible tour, and I cannot thank her enough for her kindness and expertise. Next time I come to CO with my family, I know who I want to lead our tour. THANK YOU GENTRY!
With love,
Jackie

Amazing and perfect tour!
Amazing! Ask for Gentry!!
Our group was from Florida and Gentry gave us the absolute best Colorado experience. She is so knowledgeable, kind, experienced, and prepared for anything.
She took our group to the coolest spots, had all the information and answers for every single random question we asked her. (There were 10 of us, so there were a lot!) We all loved her and would definitely come back and ask for her specifically again.
Highly recommend the tours if you are coming to visit or just looking for a great experience!
