Denny (aka Carl) was the best tour guide out there! We weren't expecting to laugh and have nearly as much fun as we did. He's a natural at what he does and will seek him out for future tours, for sure! The tour was worth every penny.

We had a great experience thanks to Explorer Tours and our tour guide Terrance! The 4 hour foothills tour was the perfect length and took us to several significant Colorado landmarks outside of the city, including Red Rocks. The travel provided was a brand new luxury van, the group size was kept small, water was provided and we stopped for lunch.

Personnel at Explorer communicated with me every step of the way, from answering questions, booking, times, lunch, etc. I was contacted by a call and email with any changes or updates. I was surprised but happy with Explorer Tours as it seems nowadays that type of service is very hard to find.
