Very knowledgeable tour guide. More facts than an encyclopedia. This guy was a native of Colorado and very colorful in his stories. Would recommend.

Matthew was our tour guide, and he was amazing! The whole experience was definitely worth the money paid. I recommend this to anyone who has a few hours to spare in Denver.

I had originally booked the Boulder Foothills Tour which was cancelled due to lack of interest. I was offered this tour instead and it was ten times better than I ever imagined. Meeting outside Union Station was great and the staff were very helpful (I wasn't on the list for a tour since I had changed last minute but there was no issue about that). Alyce was our tour guide and from the start, she was funny, engaging, kind and welcoming. I was glad I wasn't the only solo traveller but even if I was, it wouldn't have mattered, Alyce gave everyone special attention and answered any and all questions we threw at her. She had even brought ice cold bottles of water for us! Alyce also brought her family along which was really lovely and she played fantastic music in her van (especially John Denver!) whilst giving us a running commentary on what was all around us. Our first stop was the Red Rock Amphitheatre where you could explore by yourself or stick with Alyce which made the experience very easy going. The views of Denver were breathtaking and I was delighted that this was a featured stop as I didn't have a car with me and wouldn't have experienced it otherwise. Alyce brought us up Bear Creek Canyon to our next stop which was Evergreen, Colorado which was so green and picturesque (exactly what I imagined Colorado to be). She gave us great recommendations on what shops and bars to visit, offering to take our photos and pointing out all the historical architecture and interesting tidbits. We stopped by the nearby lake too which was a great addition to our tour. Our last stop was Lookout Mountain which gave us excellent panoramic views of Denver County and where you could visit Buffalo Bill's grave and visit the museum if you wished. We got back to Denver around 1:20pm which was fantastic time given we left around 9am or so. I genuinely can't speak more highly of Alyce and the attention she gave us that day. She was so approachable and knowledgeable which is exactly what you want in a tour guide but she went that one step ahead to make sure everyone felt comfortable and welcome. It made it into a truly memorable experience and I can't wait to go back to Denver to take more tours with Aspire.
