Excellent tour for first timers in Denver! Kristine was our host/tour guide and she is amazing. She went above and beyond our expectations. Her driving and customer skills are superb!! Also shared a lot of knowledge about Denver’s history and gave a bunch of wonderful recommendations. I absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Denver! (So many beautiful photos but unable to upload here!) Thank you Kristine! Hope we cross paths again!

We had never been to Denver and came across this tour on TripAdvisor. With our tight schedule this half day tour was perfect. We were in town for a concert at Red Rocks, and stopping there on the tour was a plus- we learned all about the awesome venue, and about it's history and fame. (We also were able to get tips on parking and found our seats -this was a big help when we arrived for the actual concert). Time spent at each of the three stops on the tour were less than an hour, and that was just right for us. Our tour guide EMILY was wonderful! She gave us a lot of interesting information-from the history, to the geology and even the architectural aspects of every location. She even took our pictures with her photographic expertise! EMILY is one amazing young woman....she brings a lot to the table as a tour guide with her vast experience in traveling and her education that is a perfect fit. Thank you Emily for a wonderful day. The three ladies from NJ wish you all the best- you are a talented and delightful young woman! We wish you all God's blessings in the future. AND we WILL be back next year with our friends- hope to see you for the full day tour!
