My friends and I were wanting to see the mountains and red rock amphitheater but since we’re not natives to Denver, we weren’t sure the best way to do that - especially with having to Uber everywhere. This tour was phenomenal and took us to everything we wanted to see and more! Our tour guide, Jed, was very knowledgeable and fun to spend the morning with. I highly recommend this tour, it is worth it for sure!!!
Absolute Wonderful Experience

Our guide, Nick, was stellar. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and inclusive with everyone on the tour. His interpersonal skill was most appreciated. The tour was breathtaking! The tour instructions were well explained, tour guide was timely, and well priced for a four hour tour. A most memorable experience.

Jeff was a great tour guide, very engaging! He was spontaneous, along the way we saw something interesting and he asked if we wanted to stop and get out and we did! Got some amazing pics!!

Denver Must Do!

I had a wonderful time in this tour! I loved Aaron’s energy and his knowledge about the Denver scenery. This is a great tour for those who need to explore Denver and are limited in time. You get to see some beautiful mountain views and explore a nice little town. I took this tour hours before my returned flight which I wish I should have done at the beginning of my trip. Aaron gave some really great restaurant recommendations and other fun things to do in Denver. A definitely must do in Denver.
Jeff was a great guide through an amazing area!

Overal it was a good tour, but the transportation wasn’t ideal as the initial van had a flat tire and we ended up using a bumpy shuttle.

I don’t understand why the tour would begin at 1 when Red Rocks closes at 2 if there’s a performance. I was so disappointed when we couldn’t see the stage area. Why else would you go??
Mike was fine as a guide. He wasn’t as tuned into guests needs as I expected. I was uncomfortably warm in the van. I did ask for more AC. He could have cooled the van down before we met back to continue.
Overall it felt like wasted precious time in Denver. Disappointed.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
