This was the highlight of our vacation, not just the experience of the tour, but the unforgettable scenery and atmosphere during the trip. Will was our guide, and another reviewer reported a pleasant experience. I would extend that to the attention to detail, his dedication to customer service, his overall pleasantness and keeping us engaged with stories, history, and cool little facts about Denver, Colorado, and the areas we visited. He had a genuine care and passion for what he does, and it shows. Will definitely has a thorough knowledge of nature, and really motivates those around him. He was very attentive to our safety, comfort, and overall experience. He made sure we had the right temp, opened doors, offered refreshments, and made sure we loaded and unloaded safely. Every stop we made he gave us great information about the stop, some history, and the freedom to explore. I will definitely return on this tour and others they offer, because I feel they have a great standard of satisfaction.

What a great tour this was......even better after having snowfall the previous day,which was still clinging to the trees at the higher elevation in the bright sunshine.Just beautiful. Our tour guide, Artie,treated us to a recording of "Rocky Mountain High" as we descended from the mountains.....a perfect ending to the day!

I was visiting Denver for a few days with friends and we took this half day tour. Can’t say enough how enjoyable the tour was with Kristen, our knowledgeable guide from Colorado Sightseeing, keeping us informed of the local history, geography, geology and ecology. Nice balance of driving and spending time at Red Rocks, Evergreen and Echo Lake. Also had a couple of unscheduled stops to take photos of a herd of deer and the gorgeous gold hued Aspens. Kristen provided bottled water and snacks during the tour....a nice touch! Look forward to one of their full day tours next time I’m in Denver. Highly recommend the tour and tour company
