Awesome tour - Sarah was a fantastic guide.. Knowledgeable, funny, pleasant the entire time. Kept us on schedule and moving. We had a great time. Would recommend to anyone looking to take a half-day trip to the Rockies. And check a few sites along the way

Great tour into the Rockies with Sara - We originally had scheduled the half-day Redrocks and more trip but we were notified a day before that the morning excursion we booked was going to be cancelled. To Viator's credit, the agent that contacted us helped us find a trip that was equal in length and cost. It was a blessing in disguise, because the trip into the Rockies had amazing views, wildlife, and Sara; our tour guide. She was excellent and a wealth of information about the history, the things we saw during the drive, and the places scheduled on the itinerary. Additionally, she was incredibly personable and made all the participants feel very welcome. My wife and I would not hesitate to book another tour with Aspire tours and especially Sara. Thank you!

Great short trip - I didn't have a lot of time since I was traveling for work , so this was a perfect short trip! Amazing views, great scenery for memorable pictures and Sarah the tour guide was AMAZING! I was so impressed that someone so young can have such wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend it. Just bare in mind this isn't a "hiking" tour and you don't go all the way up the mountain but again totally worth it

Recommend!! - What a great 1/2 day tour! Aaron, our guide, was so knowledgeable and super sweet. We had a great group, maybe 10 or so, and he took time to get to know everyone. The stops were beautiful and Aaron carved out time for pics at all the stops. We had a little time at the stops to do what we wanted and that was appreciated too. Highly recommend if you’d like to make the most of 4 hours.

Nature without Sweat! - My friend and I were visiting Denver, CO for a work conference, but wanted an opportunity to "see nature" before work began. This excursion was absolutely perfect for that! We had three stops- all different, all picturesque, and all an opportunity to stretch our legs and really feel like we were truly in the Rocky Mountains! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided a running commentary on the history, culture, science, and natural elements of the land around where we traveled. He was thoughtful in continually offering us water or a chance to rest. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who needs a touch of nature, or who desires to explore without worrying about not being in the greatest physical shape. AND....if you go to Idaho Springs, I highly recommend the coffee shop "The Frothy Cup!"
