Excellent hiking experience - Joe Burke is an excellent hike guide. I hiked solo, he made it very pleasant. He is very knowledgeable and a people person who cares for natural resources and environment. I highly recommend his hiking outfit. Next time I am in that area, will hike again.

Beautiful hike! - Joe did a great job. He contacted us the day before letting us know what to expect. He reached out the morning of letting us know exactly where to meet him within the park. Then during our hike he gave us all sorts of information from history of the area to the type of pants and wildlife we might see. He was awesome.

Excellent views, awesome hike, great company and knowledge - Joey is an amazing tour guide! Wealth of knowledge of the history and the area. Easy to chat to. Saw the beautiful country of Horsetooth Mountain and Poudre Canyon along with a picnic lunch. We were lucky enough to see a black bear and her cubs as well as the donkey deer. Very lucky!!!

Joe is awesome. - I had the pleasure of booking a private tour with Joe to explore Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins, and it was an experience worth cherishing. Joe’s expertise and professionalism added immense value to our journey. What impressed me most was Joe’s professionalism and attention to detail. He ensured our safety and comfort throughout the three-hour trek, making sure we had everything we needed. His friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm for the tour made it a delightful experience for both me and my mom. After the trail, Joe took us on a scenic drive around the area. His personalized approach and willingness to go the extra mile truly set him apart as an exceptional tour guide. I highly recommend Joe for anyone looking to relax but also be able to explore the beauty of Fort Collins. Thank you, Joe!

Exploring the CO mountains - It was great going with Joe! We started off in the morning with some mild weather and drove into the foothills and canyon. The weather wasn't so good in some spots so I asked if he could figure an alternate plan, and he was very flexible. Seeing all the spots on the river, the Rockies for the first time, and talking to him was a fun time. It was like I was on a trip with a friend and I could just learn so much about the natural history of the area. A friendly and respectful guide who knows the area like the back of his hand and the beautiful canyon made this a great trip for me!

Winter hike and drive around the area - Joe had so much great knowledge about the area, history, geology, and local flora/fauna. Fantastic trip felt very welcome and was catered to group level and experience. Took us around the area and went to some local places. Well versed in the regions background on what was worth stopping at. Friendly with local businesses and was willing to adjust around our timeline. Planning on coming back for another trip!

Fun Hike With Nature Knowledge - Joe picked me up and then we picked up another solo traveler, it was a great ride up the poudre canyon. The trail was very fun a steep ascent on the way up but Joe had a lot of fun stops, talking about the canyon ecology, fire recovery, and wildlife in the area. We stopped at the top for a quick lunch and to take in the scenery. We stopped at a local landmark on the way back for a quick bite before he dropped us back off in town. I really enjoyed the trip and especially enjoyed being there with another solo traveler.
