Highly Recommend!! - This review echos what everyone else here has said: JUST BOOK IT! This tour far exceeded our expectations. The trail was challenging yet manageable, and the views were incredible. From the moment we met up with our guide, Brandon, he was friendly and so much fun. He was so knowledgeable about the area and the jeeps we were driving. We are big on creating memories through experiences and this one is well worth it. The only regret we have is doing the half-day tour. If/when we go back, we are booking the full day tour! Highly recommend.

Laughing All The Way Trip to 11k Feet - Highlight of our mom/daughters trip!! So rugged, so fun, and so beautiful! Our guide helped everyone change gears for terrain and stayed in constant comm with us all via walkie talkies. BOOK THIS HALF OR FULL DAY JEEP EXCURSION. YOU WONT REGRET IT, but you will if you don't do it. The stops for pics are amazing. Truly a beautiful and memorable experience in our pink Jeep. Loved it!

10/10 YALL HAVE GOT TO DO THIS! - Just book it. This was an AMAZING tour. We did the sunset tour (seemed like it was more geared towards beginners, which we were) and Brandon was awesome as a guide! My best friend and I decided to this on the last day of our trip to Colorado and it was probably one of the coolest things we’ve ever got to experience. They were super good about explaining everything, the jeeps were well kept and the scenery was WELL worth it. Also, big shoutout to Alma. She communicated very well through our emails and clear with directions. Highly recommend doing this tour if you’re in the Denver Area.

I love Jeep tours!!! - The level of assistance and storytelling was fascinating; the stories were lively and captivating to hear, and the vistas from the summit took my breath away. This was an event too incredible to describe. The well-planned track is easy to follow and appropriate for every occasion. It is both enjoyable and demanding at the same time. The folks that were driving infront of me were really pleasant and delightful to be around. It was both enjoyable and motivating. I cherished the gorgeous vistas and unobstructed sky from the summit. In addition, the Jeeps themselves were incredibly immaculate. In the Jeep, there was essentially no filth, grime, pine needles, or dust anywhere. These individuals were so friendly, and everything came together beautifully. I wish it could have lasted a life time.

Exceeded my expectations by a lot - This trip genuinely exceeded my expectations. This is a real off-road experience where YOU do the driving. It was fun and exciting, but I never felt unsafe. So glad I tagged this in to my trip to Denver.
