I booked my dad and his wife a trip to Colorado for his 69th birthday, because ever since I was a little girl, I had always heard him talked about wanting to see the Rocky Mountains. It starting out as a DISASTER! I had made him car rental reservations, and paid for it in advanced, and to mine and his horror, the car rental company would not let him pick up his car, because he didnt have a credit card. I felt awful, because here was a man, who raised four kids by himself, done without, to make sure us kids had what we needed, would not be able to have his one life-long wish, to see the mountains and elk. I didn't know what to do. Luckily, I found Colorado Sightseer online, and called, and a young lady answered the phone and she arranged everything for him, and even offer to pick him up. He had the best time, and hasn't hushed about since he got home. This company went BEYOND themselves to make sure he had a magical experience, and I cant express enough gratitude to them and the tour guide! Thank y'all so much!
