We had a great family tour. All my teenagers and adult children really enjoyed the time with Dean. We reached out to him directly on his cell phone (970-948-4349) to do a last minute custom time tour, and he was willing to accommodate. He gave us a little of the Aspen history as well as the ghost stories! Thank you Dean!

First time in Aspen and pressed for time. Dean's 90 minute walking tour was PERFECT!!! Dean is VERY knowledgeable and a great story teller. This was exactly what we were hoping for. Make this your introduction to Aspen.

Great way to spend time in downtown Aspen and learn along the way. Dean is a great guide and clearly knows and loves his subject. Easy walk around town. Looking forward to taking the evening ghost tour when it is warmer.
