Get the backstory about Aspen! - Dean is knowledgeable and very friendly. He is willing to share his knowledge about Aspen with his guests. No need to wonder around on your own through the streets of Aspen and wonder what this or that is. He will give you the back story and so much more. Loved his tour.

Great historical walking tour of Aspen - Aspen is a remarkable and beautiful city with a rich history of silver mining. Dean, out tour guide for this lovely 90-minute walking tour, was very knowledgeable of the history and did a great job casually leading us on a walk around town.

Insightful History Journey - Our tour was the best. Visually we saw Aspen from the best vantage points and visited the city’s most beautiful and historic buildings. Most noteworthy for me was Dean’s perfect telling of the Ute creation story, and how the Ute valley came to be. All cultures have creation stories and they are vitally important to truly understanding history.

Walk through history - Easy walking tour and Dean has lots of history to share. Would recommend highly for first timers to Aspen. From the ski slope to the river, we learned all about Aspen. Great after lunch stroll.

It was fine - This was "ok". Not hugely interesting or amusing. It is certainly a very easy walk. I wouldn't do it again or recommend it to a friend.
