Half-day Rocky Mountain Hike - Aaron was a fabulous guide and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. He kept us safe on the drive to our hike and during the hike. He was the most educational and informative guide we could have asked for. The hike itself had beautiful views and was the right amount of challenge for an active family.

We had the pleasure to... - We had the pleasure to have Jerry S. as our guide. We ended up doing the full day (instead of the half day). Jerry was very knowledgeable of the history and the trials. Even when I was not feeling good due to my body still setting used to the height he was very patient and helpful. If you don't have a lot of experience hiking (or even if you do) Jerry S. will be and outstanding guide for you!! (IMO)

Beautiful tour! - This far exceeded my expectations. Originally booked for this trip - due to lack of participants I was offered the Denver Foothills Explorer half day tour and loved it. Sean was the guide and he knew EVERYTHING about what we saw that day - from the history of the state, the city to in depth info on the nature we got to see and did it in a very fun, informative way. Coupled with the amazing sites - Rocky Peaks, Dinosaur hill, Lookout Mtn, etc. - it was a perfect way to get to see and explore the area in just four hours. If all the guides are like Sean, this is a highly recommended way to spend an afternoon!

Knowledgeable guide, convenient trip to Rocky Mountains from Denver/Boulder - Trip was convenient, easy, and no hassle.
Our guide Aaron was deeply knowledgeable and shared many interesting tidbits about local animals and plants we saw from elk to aspen trees. He also brought a great attitude and was a blast to chat with on the trail.
We stopped for lunch with beautiful views of the mountains and the scenery was great overall. Recommended.

A great afternoon excursion - Great way to see some sights outside of Denver without having to worry about driving or parking. Seeing Red Rocks and the bison preserve were my favorite parts.

Amazing! - Our guide, Nicole was very polite and knowledgeable. She made our trip wonderful. I rated 4 stars because the AC in the van was not working and it was rather hot and uncomfortable on the way- but that was out of our guide’s control. She did everything she could to make us comfortable, and for that we were grateful. We had an amazing experience!

Fun but not sure it was worth the money. - Trip was a lot of fun but we had to pay for 4 tickets for 2 people just so they would not cancel the trip last second. They called me less than 24 hours before the hike to inform me they were going to cancel because no one else had signed up. Unfortunately at this point we had already had hiking gear ordered and delivered to the hotel for this trip and as it was our last day in town we had no choice but to buy the minimum amount of tickets so that the hike would not be cancelled. The hike itself was a lot of fun, exhausting even for a 45 year old guy in average shape. Climbing to 9040 feet was definitely the must challenging thing I have done in the past couple of years but the views at the top were well worth the exhiastion again though not sure if it was worth $500.

Disappointed the hike was canceled, but Elsa made the replacement fun. - We were looking forward to the half day Rocky Mountain hike. Unfortunately, one day prior, we were notified that the hike was canceled. We were traveling and not able to reach the office to reschedule until we arrived in Denver around 5:00. But the office was closed. The email said there was space on the Rocky Mountain Escape tour at the same time, so we showed up to take that tour. But it was filled. In fact all the tours were filled.
We met Elsa, who was the tour guide for the Red Rocks tour. She was very sympathetic and helpful. There were a couple of cancellations on her tour, so we were able to join.
Elsa was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable, interesting and excited to be sharing her love of Colorado with us.
I wish we had been informed about the hike cancellation with more advance notice. Even 24 hours might have been helpful in rescheduling.
