Private customized tour of Denver, Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and mining towns.

Overview

I offer my tours in English, Spanish and French.

This is a private tour cerified by the State of Colorado for private SUV tours. Let's explore Denver and the scenic beauty of the Red Rocks Park along with several mining towns.

Imagine that Denver was once not long ago full of Cowboys and Indians who roamed the mud filled streets of Denver. Now market street and Larimer Square (the area where Denver was founded) is now several blocks of swanky restaurants and boutique stores.

Leaving Denver we ascend to over 6400 feet when we visit the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. In the park there are miles of hiking trails that are intertwined with sandstone cliffs. Rolling Stones had previously ranked Red Rocks the best musical venue in the United States.

Onward, we will go up through several beautiful canyons past Evergreen and then upto Idaho Springs. From Idaho Springs we ascend to the old mining towns of Central City which once claimed to have the richest square mile in the world. .

RiNo Art District

RiNo stands for Riverside North and it is home to trendy art galleries and hip breweries, jazz bars designer funiture makers, winemakers and other distcraft distillers. Often there are concerts during the summerand every September street artists fill the area and paint the outside murals of many of the local businesses in the RiNo area.

Colorado State Capitol

From the RiNo area we will drive to the State Capitol where we will stop for pictures of the outside. Many clients love to go to the 15th step of the Capitlol Building where the step is marked as being a mile high. Depending on the day of the week and time we may go inside the Capitol building for a tour of the inside. This is where the govenor's office is and the congress and senate of the state.

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts is one of the biggest in the US. Per capita the residents give more the performing arts center than any other city in the US;

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater is known world wide as one of the best if not the best outdoor amphitheater to play music. The park itself is a showcase of astonishing crimson red stones that shoot out of the earth and reach for the sky. Inside the Visitor Centor you will learn about the history of the park and about all the famous music artists that have played there. In August of 1964 the Beatles played there and if you were in Denver then you could have bought a ticket for a whopping 6 dollars and 60 cents.

From Central City we will travel to Idaho Springs. Idaho Springs claims that it is the city where the gold rush began. In Idaho Springs we will stop for a quick bite and perhaps some shopping.

This tour was exactly what we wanted! Brad customized our private tour so that we got to see all the things we were hoping to fit in this trip. He knew so much history to go along with the sights. Brad was very accommodating as we did not book until a few days before. The website showed that he was unavailable, but he managed to get us on his schedule. We will definitely use him the next time we are in town to see more of Colorado!!

Brad was great- offered fun and useful information. Picked us up at our hotel and brought us to all the downtown/RiNo sights before heading to Red Rock and mining towns. Excellent day!

The tour guide - Brad was awesome. He was very knowledgeable of the places where he took us. He gave us a lot of time to look around. He took us to a fabulous restaurant that make their own fudge and cook real Buffalo. Overall it was a great tour!!!
