Awesome experience where we got to see a lot of beautiful scenery/attractions in a limited time. Our guide Jason was super knowledgable , a safe driver, and was kind ( and hilarious!)
Beautiful vistas, cute town visit for 45 min, excellent guide, Hayden, shared geological, horticultural, and historical information.
Hayden was such a sweet and informative tour guide. He truly made everyone comfortable providing water, general tour information as well as food and activity recommendations beyond what we did on the tour. We were able to see the beauty of many viewpoints that Hayden stopped by, as well as wildlife on the mountainside. Idaho springs was the cutest and historic mountain town that gave us a great picture of what lifestyle people live outside Denver.
A wonderful morning tour, briefly stopping at picturesque points for photo opportunities and calling at Echo Lake and Idaho Springs for longer durations to explore. Hayden was a fantastic tour guide, informative and entertaining, as well as a safe driver which is exactly what you need for navigating mountain roads. Highly recommend this tour, for a quick way to escape the city and experience the mountains when staying in Denver.
Honestly, It was all about how authentic Gable was about his love for Colorado. We kept going up in elevation and learned more and more along the way. The weather was crazy, we went from blue skies to cloud/fog chasing us down the Echo Lake. It was all beautiful! (Take a sweatshirt!!) the weather can change quickly.
Not really Rocky Mountain experiences. Too much time to spend at Colorado Springs.
Our guide was so knowledgeable and inclusive. It was a beautiful tour with rich content and friendly banter. I was alone and made 8 new friends!
Fantastic trip! Jason was genuinely nice and well informed about the Rocky Mountain and Denver area. He went the "extra mile" to ensure we saw as much as possible. The add on gondola trip was amazing!!!!! Thanks Jason for the great jokes and especially the well timed Playlist of songs!!!
Genevieve is a great tour guide and an excellent driver, too. Highly recommend this tour!
Great views of the mountains. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Recommend going on the gondola if you have the option.
