Very enjoyable experience. Saw many sights of Denver, Red Rocks and the surrounding areas. Rob, our tour guide, was knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip interesting.
Alice gave us a great trip around Denver showing us the sights. Her knowledge of the area was vast and her driving was top notch! It was our last day of a week long trip and this ending was the icing on the cake!

This tour was great, especially making the visit to Red Rocks easy. Our tour guide, Brian, shared information on various points of interest and told several interesting stories - he really made this excursion fun - oh, and he was a good driver too.

It was a beautiful breathtaking experience. Our tour guide Mark was fun. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun
Hi Linda, Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Mark and had the opportunity to experience the beauty of Red Rocks that us locals are so lucky to have.
The combo of a bus tour and boots-on-the-ground exploration of Denver and the greater area made for an enjoyable experience! Mark was an awesome guide and driver, very personable as well as knowledgeable of local history and traditions. I highly recommend both out of town visitors and locals alike give this experience a try to sample the Denver area from a unique perspective. I would also advise attendees to bring along snacks since there isn't a designated lunch break (though the ice cream stop made for a refreshing appetizer).
Hi Emily, Thank you so much for your five star review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Mark and that you were able to learn some of the local history. We truly appreciate the recommendation to both our local and out-of-state travelers!
