I’ve done quite a few tours in various cities and this is my favorite one so far. I also did the half day Rocky Mountain tour and this one was, in my opinion, far superior. You don’t get to hike a ton, but we were able to go all the way to the summit of Mt. Evans which was beautiful. Our guide was Nick. He was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and gave a comprehensive tour with background information on Denver, wildlife, and history. He was accessible during all stops to take photos for everyone. I would highly recommend requesting him for your tour. I was hoping to see particular wildlife (goats!) and when we spotted some during our drive he actually pulled over so that we could all take some photos and I was able to see them up close. How kind is that?! Plus, everyone else in my tour group was really fun and we had a great time together. Also there are snacks. I was hesitant to do this tour, especially since I travel solo but if you’re on the fence you should absolutely give this one a shot! 10/10.

My tour guide Hudson was one of the highlights of my solo trip. He is so knowledgeable about pretty much all things Denver and he is an amazing photographer especially for us solo travelers. He took us to a great spot in Idaho springs for us to enjoy our lunch and he guided the tour so well so that us tourist could avoid the bad weather and enjoyed the entire tri. 10/10 would recommend
