It was so great! Our tour guide was very informative and we even got to do some gold panning at the end!

Very enjoyable. Lots of interesting history. Would come back again. ARGO was very accommodating. We showed up an hour early & they allowed us to go on an earlier tour. Guide knew his history and clearly is passionate about preserving it through the tour. Thank you.

Forgive me, I believe our guide was Aaron. He was amazing. His knowledge was unparalleled and he was a riot to boot. I’m a geek and love these historical tours and we do them on every vacation, and this was by far the best. Between history and entertainment, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Do it. I’m a CO local and this was a great piece of history to learn about.
