Traveler reviews
Great Locations, Unsympathetic Tour Operator
I am giving this a 5 star review as my family and I visited these locations privately and they are beautiful. Please be aware that altitude sickness is a real thing, my daughter suffered it and we had to miss the actual tour. I suggest leaving a few days before before the booking to recover if you arrive into Denver from lower altitudes. The tour operator however had no sympathy for this and refused to move my booking or refund me anything, which under the circumstances was quite disappointing. 5 stsr review for what you'll see, 2 star for the unsympathetic tour operators.
Rebooked but still a good time
We were rebooked because they had a minimum requirement to go to Mt Blue Sky.
Wonderful Day
This was the perfect way to spend our day seeing beautiful sights around Denver! Zach was an amazing guide - just the right amount of info and relaxation. It was wonderful having someone else do the driving and deal with all the ins and outs of the various areas. Would definitely recommend!!!
It was beautiful and fun!...
It was beautiful and fun! We enjoyed Red Rocks, Idaho Springs is a wonderful walking town. The climb to Mt Blue Sky was thrilling but I was a little unprepared for the altitude, cold and wind! Be sure to carry a jacket!
Mount Blue Sky tour
Beautiful scenery! Our guide Alex was knowledgeable and entertaining. Would do another tour with him any time!!
