There was a call out and Jed had to come give us the tour. So happy that he was there. So knowledgeable and made the experience even better

The description was a bit vague on what we would do and quite honestly this was a miss for us. We found it to be pretty boring and expensive for the value it brought. For context, we are two 23 year olds that enjoy adventure and unique experiences. Most of this experience is just driving two and from (left at 1 and back at 5pm so really only ~2 hours are the actual activities itself and 45 minutes of it they dropped us off in a random town to try breweries if we wanted, but to us that just wasn’t very valuable. I could see this being a nice experience for anyone who wants to check out the area but isn’t interested in any hiking

Hi there! We're sorry to hear that this tour didn't quite do it for you. You're right in the sense that this is not a physically challenging tour, it sounds like either our Half-Day Rocky Mountain Hike or our Rocky Mountain National Park Hiking Tour would have been a better fit for you! Out of curiosity, and to help us better ourselves, would you mind letting us know what appealed to you in selecting this product over our others? We're always looking to improve ourselves, and it's feedback like yours that makes this possible! Best, Aspire Tours.

This was the coolest experience! We had a very enthusiastic and welcoming tour guide named Aaron. He was SO informative and really brought the energy. I would definitely recommend this for people who want to see the mountains, but also like to take things at their own pace. I wish we would’ve done the whole day because we enjoyed ourselves so much :)
