I was only in Boulder for the weekend and I didn't know what to see or where to go first. I was really looking forward to this tour since it seemed to offer a good general starting point. Kyle was very personable and knowledgeable. He was able to give us solid background information on the Red Rocks Amphitheater and how it developed, tidbits on the local area like Golden nearby, history of the flatirons and what mountaineering on it is like. He also went above and beyond by giving recommendations on things to explore later on Pearl Street and elsewhere. Having been a transplant, he was able to give us a fresh perspective.

We loved both of these tours and highly recommend them! The pick-up at Union Square went very smoothly and it's easy to find the flagpole where to meet. The vans are very comfy and the guides offered us bottled water several times throughout the tour. There are adequate restroom stops (I have to go A LOT and usually fret about finding a bathroom, but no worries on these tours). The guides have the special pass to go in the multi-passenger lane on the highways, so we avoided a lot of slow traffic. Both guides were very knowledgable and easy-going and made the experiences very pleasurable. Flatirons: the coolest part was seeing Red Rocks Amphitheatre. We had about 30 minutes to get out there and walk around. We also stopped at Chautaqua (spelling?) and did a tiny bit of hiking. The last stop was the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder where we had close to an hour to wander around and shop (tip: some people choose to stay there and take the FlatIron Flyer back to Union Station instead of the tour van). Brendan was our guide for this one (go Cornhuskers!) and he was fantastic about pointing out things to look at and telling us the history of the area. Rocky Mountain National Park: this was an all-day tour and it went really fast. Jed was our guide and we had 7 in the van (we picked up 2 in Boulder and that went very smoothly). The highlight was seeing a long-horned sheep (also saw tons of deer, plus elk in the very far distance). We did a bit of hiking at a few different stops. Plenty of photo opportunities, especially at a gorgeous lake (can't remember the name), and a cute little church on a hill. Plenty of stops (at a cute little town for a few minutes of shopping, at a distillery where we had lunch, and Crystal Springs to fill our water bottles) Jed was fantastic at keeping us engaged and knowing when to be quiet and let us just soak in the beautiful scenery. The next time we're in Denver, we will definitely do another tour with Aspire. We cannot say enough good things about them---the tours were the highlight of a very enjoyable 5 days in Denver.
