I do a lot of traveling for work and always try to squeeze in a tour between work. Having said that, I've gone on more than a few of these types of tours solo and this was by far the best in my experience. This half day tour is the perfect way to maximize a morning or afternoon and get the most of the outdoors seeing the foothills of the rockies, the Buffalo Bill Museum & final resting place, and Coors brewery! Theres a little bit of something for everyone on this tour and thats all before the amazing guides! The tour picked me up right on time at Union Station in downtown Denver. The guides were helpful, knowledgeable, and all around genuine people. It was such a great experience that I look forward to my next trip to Denver where I will happily join one of their full day tours into the mountains. Thanks for an amazing day!
