As an elderly couple, we were very impressed with the thoughtfulness of our guide Gator. He was interesting and informative and had great suggestions on what to see.

Denver in a day

Not impressed

JhanaBug, Jun 2018

Communication with the owner/operator of the tour was non existent. I called 3 different times to confirm and ask different questions and they seemed annoyed to hear from me. The car was nice and arrived on time. The driver was polite enough, but was definitely lacking in what he had to say about Denver. There were large amounts of time we drove in complete silence. This was a business trip, but unfortunately my client was not impressed.

David H, Mar 2018

We were kindly offered to be picked up an hour earlier which was much more convenient for us as the weather forecast was dubious with heavy wet snow later that day. We were expecting a Mercedes car but got picked up in a Mercedes van, but that was okay as we had a good view and it was comfortable. Our driver was such a nice chap. Gentlemanly, informative and answered all our questions. Red Rocks Amphitheatre was amazing and beautiful. We got half an hour there, just about long enough. We saw a herd of deer on the hills behind which was lovely to see. As we left Red Rocks to drive towards Evergreen the weather started to close in earlier than expected and the snow came down. We had a short stop at Evergeen lake which was still part frozen. Our driver said only three weeks earlier they were still ice fishing and skating on the lake. We enjoyed learning about how people live in the mountains and their day to day lives. We saw some beautiful wooden houses. As the snow got heavier our poor driver had to make several decisions en route. Not an easy task with you are responsible for other people's safety. But he made good choices and although we did not get to see anything from Lookout Mountain far too misty and snowy with no visibility we did manage to get back on track to visit Buffalo Bill's grave. Driving back down the Lariat Loop was stunningly beautiful. We were glad we weren't driving!! The rock formations and geology are amazing. Because the weather was a bit rough, we did not stop to walk about in Golden but our driver kindly took us to look at Coors Brewery huge place and told us quite a bit about how they use the mountain spring water and its history and also kindly stopped at the old Railway Museum as we drove by to let me take some photos of the beautiful old trains. We enjoyed learning about how Denver was known as a Stock Town, driving cattle through the centre, the changes happening in Denver now and many other interesting facts and figures. Our driver asked us what we had already seen in Denver on our holiday and he added interesting facts to what we had already learned and made a few more suggestions. The whole afternoon, apart from the weather, was very enjoyable and our driver made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We hope this feedback gets shown to our Driver as he was just perfect for us and it was great to spend time in his company. A thoroughly enjoyable trip, thank you.

This was a perfect afternoon getaway from the city! My guide was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and professional--and a very safe driver. Views were spectacular. I have recommended the tour to friends who are considering a trip to Denver.
