The best!!! - What a fun excursion! My husband and I were in a group with 2 other people so it was very intimate. Tyler was an amazing guide and took us off the beaten path for a much more beautiful hike. We loved visiting the geothermal caves even if we could only last 2-5 minutes per dip. And ending the trip with pizza was perfect. Would definitely recommend if in Denver!!

Nice day, great tour - Not having much time to give details but our tourguide Tyler had been fantastic in every way, like being very flexible on activities and very patient with us who spoke English with strong accents, and amazingly he was able to figure things out. ~ LOL~ Next time we go back to Denver, will find him again! Also will recommend him to friends!

Great time - We had a great time, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us up the glacier the scenic route so we got lots of cool pictures without running into any other people until we reached the top. 100% recommend this tour and the pizza was AMAZING

Great day out - Great experience and well thought-through trip. Comfortable ride into Idaho springs (2 guides/2 cars for our group of 7) with enjoyable commentary on the sights we passed. The hike is not long at all, less than a mile each way, but it is uphill, on the snow (spikes needed) and the altitude is palpable therefore a basic fitness level is required. Part of our group, unfortunately, underestimated their abilities - the guides handled the situation well and with safety of everyone in mind, while not taking away from the enjoyment and experience for the others. The hike itself is picturesque and the views once in the glacier great - but difficult to photograph, the photos really don't do this trip justice. The thermal pools afterwards are super relaxing, and the pizza lunch was delicious.

Scend it!!! Up the mountain and then relax at hot springs - Tour exceeded our expectations. Initial meet up was convenient and well marked. We assumed that the vehicle we traveled in would be bigger, as it was a smaller SUV. The commute to the trail was not too curvy and easy on the interstate. Appreciated the bathroom stop to refill our water and go before we trekked. Provided ski goggles, crampons, extra layers were much appreciated additiona. Guide Tyler led us in a mindful meditation to help me get up to the top. That really helped me get the mindset I needed to get up in the conditions we were in. When I say that the pizza is a must, bring Tupperware! Hot springs were so comforting and enjoyable. Bring some flip flops and the hot springs are separated by gender. Overall the experience was so well worth the day out of Denver and the knowledge and mindfulness we gained from Tyler was unmatched.

Adventurous, grounding and fun! - Tyler was an amazing guide. We got far more than we expected. With guided meditation, wonderful candid pictures and knowledge of the local geography, hot spring and eateries. You will not find a better tour.

Fun adventure! The guides were stellar in their experience and people skills! - The entire experience was memorable. The elevation was messing with my body since I am from sea level. Tyler and Dan were right on point when they coached me through that experience. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you
