October 10/26 took the Red Rock and Evergreen tour with Christina. Was a lovely trip. Christina is a local and knows the ins and outs of Denver. We were lucky to spot deers and an elk along the road. My only suggestion would be to have a longer stops especially at the Red Rock Amphitheater so we could spend time in the museum.

I took the all day Rocky Mountain National Park tour on Sept. 25th. Emily was our tour guide and was informative of the National Park and all the spots we went. The group I was apart of was amazing to be with for the day. I know a tour company can't make up how people will respond, so that was an extra bonus for a person who was traveling solo.

I went on Adventures West Garden of the Gods & North Canyon today. Idaho Tater was our guide- very knowledgeable about the history of the area . He even had pictures of the area . Easy to understand, helpful, informative and humorous. Would recommend this tour for anyone. I don’t usually post reviews but he was over the top GREAT guide.
