My husband and I recently participated in the Breckenridge Mountain Explorer tour. Our Boulder tour was cancelled due to low enrollment, and we were offered this tour as an alternative. I'm so glad we wound up on this tour, because it was a blast. Kyle was our guide, and he was absolutely wonderful. He had tons of knowledge about Colorado, the wildlife, mountains, mountaineering, good food... you name it. Everything about the tour was stunning... Red Rock Amphitheater, the town of Idaho Springs, the Tenmile Range of the Rockies, Breckinridge, along with all of the wildlife that we spotted, including bighorn sheep, elk, and buffalo. What an experience!

Hi donner2016, First, thank you for being flexible and switching to another tour after the Boulder tour was cancelled. We try to give our guests as many options as we can so if a tour is cancelled they aren't out of luck when it comes to having a fun adventure. Second, thank you for taking the time to share you experience and the positive feedback. We are happy to hear you had a good time on the Breckenridge Mountain Explorer tour with Kyle! We hope you will keep us in mind for your next trip so we can show you Boulder, the Rocky Mountain National Park, or maybe some of our favorite local breweries! Kind regards, Kristen
