Had an amazing time on the Red Rocks/Breckenridge/Continental Divide tour! Our guide Ryan was awesome, personable, and full of useful information about every stop and landmark along the way! 10/10 would recommend!

The tour was made especially enjoyable by the professionalism, knowledge, and thoroughness of the tour guide. Alex spoke to us from the time we left the pick-up point to when we made the last stop for sightseeing and picture-taking. His knowledge of the history, geography, art, and politics of Colorado provided the guests with more knowledge than we expected and kept us all engaged and entertained.
History, geography, art, and politics all in one day is a lot of ground to cover, Ozzie, and Alex clearly enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you for noticing how much he puts into keeping everyone engaged from pickup to the last photo stop.
This was a fantastic tour. Stopped at great places with the right amount of time at each. Last stop was lunch in Golden which makes this tour stand out from other tor companies. Learned a lot too.
Lunch in Golden is one of our favorite ways to end the day too, Darcy! Thanks for mentioning the pacing at each stop, since getting that balance right matters a lot to us.
