HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My boyfriend and I enjoyed our tour and had a fantastic experience with Nick on Hiking Aspire Tours. As avid travelers, I would say that our hiking tour with Nick was one of the best we’ve ever done. Nick is very knowledgeable and shared many fascinating facts about the area's history, culture friendly and made sure we had a great day. He took us to incredible Rockies and it truly felt like a day out with an old friend. We hiked on Cub Lake , man it was the highlight of my Denver trip. Thank you , Nick & Aspire Tours for this wonderful first timer experienced in Denver. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back!

Brittany Dhayer

This tour was a great way to see a ton of stops along the Rockies without worry/unknowns! Our guide Mike (Pittsburgh native- which I found great also being from Pittsburgh!) was excellent in pointing out wildlife, stopping for great pictures, allotting enough time to get out and see sights/walk around a bit, talking about the history of the park, mountains, surrounding areas, etc. I wish we could have experienced the full drive of Trail Ridge road, but it was closed at the very top due to weather. Still, getting up to 10,000ft elevation made for awesome views/pics! Making a stop at the Stanley Hotel was nice and the provided lunch/stop at The Barrel in Estes Park allowed for more than enough time to eat and get a beer. I’d love to go back in the summer to allow for some hiking, as there wasn’t much walking in the Rockies due to the April weather. Overall this was a great day and such a cool experience. I would definitely recommend this day trip!

Brooklynn Mckinney

Went with Nick and he was so insightful. As we left Denver he told us all about the city and its history. He told us all about the geographical history on Denver as well. The hike itself was beautiful and he went at our pace, which was a good speed. He also stopped and took a bunch of pictures for us, I couldn’t recommend Nick more to anyone who wants to hike in Denver. The van was so clean and nice. It was such a wonderful trip.

Preston Koenig

Wonderful way to see Rocky Mountain National Park for a day! Easy pickup and drop off in downtown Denver. Comfortable van, small group, great lunch, and beautiful sites. And our guide Ty, could not have been better. Knowledgeable, kind, and so professional. We were in great hands! Wonderful overall value.

Tieyawna Jackson

We booked the Rocky Mountain escape this past weekend and the views were amazing! My fiancé and I traveled from Texas and this tour was one of the best parts of our trip. Mike H. (hope I got his name correct) was phenomenal! He knew so much about Colorado’s history, wildlife, and so much more and made the entire trip that much better! I would highly recommend Aspire to anyone! Thanks again Mike for such a memorable adventure!

Aaron Mohammed

I did this tour a few days ago with my girlfriend. The views were amazing and walking on the frozen lake was so awesome!! It wasn’t just the scenery that made this tour so great, it was also the conversations we had with our tour guide Aaron. He’s very knowledgeable, especially when it comes to the history and culture of Native American tribes. I hope to one day see him on YouTube sharing his knowledge on history, culture, geology, archeology, etc., you should really do it dude!! Our conversations with him were definitely a highlight of our trip lol

Meriel Radloff

I am so impressed with the tour of the Rocky Mountain we did today. Our tour guide, Nick, was very knowledgeable and was a great role model for those who care about leaving no carbon footprints. The tour was informative, the stops are timed perfectly and the scenery absolutely spot on! We especially lived the elk sighting and the hike around the frozen Lilly Lake. Highly recommend this company and the service. Thanks so much for the tour Nick! Well done!

Ryan Lau

We went on a tour with Gentry on the day before Christmas. My family and I truly had a great time and I would gladly say that this was one of the best tours we’ve had in the world. Although some terminology regarding the geography and history were difficult, Gentry was great at explaining everything and she was really easy to understand. In addition to explaining things very well, we were really hoping to see more wildlife during our tour. Gentry was very kind and extremely knowledgeable when it came to the best wildlife spotting spots. Thanks to Gentry, she took us to the perfect places and we saw deer, sheep, and a large herd of elk which was truly fascinating. Overall, my family and I had a great experience and we thought Gentry was a wonderful tour guide. We would highly recommend aspire tours for people who are looking to explore the rockies.

Anna Lee

Highly recommended tour and tour guide! Aaron is not just a great tour guide but very smart! Any question you throw at him he has the answer! He is very passionate about bio ecology and great sense of humor. We have covered a lot during the tour and seen some wildlife. And we also had great people in our tour and made the it very enjoyable!

Elena Cox

I had an amazing experience hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park with our guide Mitchell. He was so knowledgeable about the area and remained cool under pressure when we had to navigate wildfires and icy roads on the way back to Denver. I would definitely book with Aspire Tours again.

Maria Chan

Our morning tour from another company was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances so we decided to do the afternoon Rocky Mountain tour. From the beginning Will was very helpful and accommodating to us to do a same day tour and made it the best possible experience for us given our situation. Nick, our tour guide and driver, was really knowledgeable and had an overall great vibe that really added to the tour. We enjoyed listening to his explaining of Denver’s history, the landmarks and the wildlife spotting. It was an enjoyable and impressive trip. I would recommend this to anyone coming to Colorado!

Lynn K

Our guide Clyde was so knowledgeable about tips for adjusting to the high altitude, flora and fauna of the area, other areas to visit, and places to eat. He showed us incredible spots around several lakes, and we even spotted elk! Clyde was prepared with Yeti traps for each of us as it had just snowed the day before, also with chains/sand for icy driving conditions. And I loved my lunch that catered to my dietary restrictions!

Beth Hodges

The half day Rocky Mountains tour was fabulous! Dylan is an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He was able to highlight facts about the local geography, wildlife, plants, history including the native tribes, and give recommendations in the area. So glad we decided to include an Aspire Tour as part of this bachelorette trip! Schedule larger groups ASAP, the tours fill up. Excited to check out some of their other experiences next time I'm in the area.

Emma Boughan

We had an amazing time on our Discover Rocky Mountain National Park tour. Aaron was a very informative and interactive guide pointing out all the wild life, sharing interesting info, and providing the best photo ops along the way. I would highly recommend this experience for anybody spending time in Denver and wanting to check out some of the beautiful scenery that Colorado has to offer.

Jackie Ning

Had an awesome half day with Clyde! We signed up for the Rocky Mountain Hike. The other folks did not show up so we were lucky to have a private tour! Wonderful views and Clyde shared a lot of knowledge about the area, animals and history. He was very attentive, kind and fun! Would highly recommend. Thank you Clyde and Aspire Tours!

Denise Mendoza

Nick was our tour guide and he made the day better than expected. He was funny, knowledgeable, patient and flat out an amazing tour guide!! We got to explore the Rockies, take great photos and saw wild life. He gave us great suggestions on places to visit around Denver and even suggested another tour for us to capture the most of the city. Nick, we will come again to spend the day with you, you’re the best!!! Thank you for making our 1st trip to Denver so memorable!!

Mayesha Sahir Mim

Had an unforgettable day tour to the Rockies from Denver. Phil was the best and friendliest tour guide ever, keeping us engaged with all the tidbits about the towns and places we were passing. Had the opportunity to see elks, moose, mermot, deers, and pretty birds as well as appropriate stopovers at gorgeous viewpoints and overlooks. Will definitely come back for other tours.

Terri Betts

For my first trip to see my younger sister and her husband in Colorado, my sister booked the half-day Rocky Mountain escape for the three of us. All I can say is…WOW! It is something I will never forget. Our guide Aaron was friendly, funny and so knowledgeable about the area. Seems to take true pleasure in what he does. Very personable. He also was very compassionate when I was struggling with the thinner air. The views were truly breathtaking. I even saw snow for the first time (I was born in and still live in Florida :D). The three of us enjoyed our “escape” into the mountains. They have lived here for over six years but this was a new adventure for them, too. Thank you for being the highlight of an already fantastic trip. It was a great experience and we learned things. Who can ask for more. :D

jeff mcc

I have been all over North America and this was by far the most unbelievable tour I have taken ANYWHERE! Our guide was an expert on the mountain history, terrain and most importantly, LOTS of wildlife. Elk, Moose, Golden Eagle, Ospreys and a dozen other local creatures. This is a must do and it couldn't have been better or more personable. 🤙☮ from Florida, we will be back.

Tabitha

The tour was wonderful! Our guide Eddie was fun and kept the trip light and enjoyable. We did the 4 hour half day excursion. It was a perfect light excursion to explore a small town in Colorado and some beautiful mountain and river locations to capture beautiful photos! Serious tip- definitely wear layers! It gets windy up there :) Thank you Eddie for the unforgettable trip! Also your music selection was PERFECT - driving through the mountains to LOTR music made the experience magical. :) When we come back to visit Colorado again - we will use Aspire tours again for a full 8 hour day next time! Hopefully we can get Eddie again. Seriously thank you!

HeatherJo Saly

This was an excellent tour! Our guide Aaron was so knowledgeable and super friendly. Him being our guide made the experience not only fun but also incredibly informative. Red rocks was amazing and even with very high winds we had a blast. This is a must do for any visitors. Ask for Aaron! Super smart cool guy! Thank you so much!

Tina Louise

We really enjoyed our experience today! Jed was a very courteous and knowledgeable guide with really funny jokes too! Traveling through the loveland pass with all of the heavy wind and snow up to my thighs was the highlight of the trip for me! Of course Breckenridge was amazing too! We rode on the Gondola and ate at the Blue River Bistro… which was amazing! I ordered the moose short ribs and Prosecco!!!! Yummy!!!!!!

Nisha Smales

Has a perfect day touring Rocky Mountain National Park with Phil. Super knowledgeable guide who ensured we were all comfortable and knew the best routes to see amazing views and also deer and elk. He even offered to take pics of the participants and made food recommendations for Denver, Boulder, and Estas Park. Highly recommend.

Nichelle Renaud

Did the half day Rocky Mountain tour. Philly Phil was very knowledgeable and friendly. He consistently checked on us all, making sure we were comfortable and hydrated. Highly recommend.

Hector Velez

Thank you to Izzy our tour guide on the half-day Rocky Mountain Escape. We had a great time, Izzy was very knowledgeable and had a lot of recommendations on things to see/do. Would definitely recommend.

Simon Torrance

A fantastic day's hiking at the Rocky Mountains National Park. Our guide, Zach, was superb: highly knowledgeable, funny, helpful, kind. We felt in good hands. He even administered first aid to one of the party who fell over. It was a great day out, expertly managed by Zach and the Aspire team

Josh Pruss (Audioghost)

Flew out to Colorado from Pittsburgh, Pa and scheduled a hiking trip in the Rockies a number of weeks before my trip, unfortunately I was the only one who signed up! However Will (I think his name was) was super cool on the phone and communicated very well with me leading up to the trip and eventually moved me to a different tour that was more of a driving tour. Nick, our guide, was a great guy - very informative, good stories, always looking out for us and was just very down to earth and overall just enjoyable to hangout with. Even though I didn't go on the hiking trip I scheduled I still had a great time and appreciate everyone's efforts at Aspire to make sure I had a great time in Colorado and I'm very appreciative. I don't go on vacation much and work really hard, it was great to be taken care of so well! Very much recommended.

Ell Kay

We did the Denver foothills tour with Kyle (the Tom Brady of tour guides). Great tour, so much knowledge & interesting information, history, beautiful scenery, relaxing (go at your own pace), and see the real beauty/nature of Denver. Do it! Really great experience. So happy we did it

Levin Bremer

My friend and I had a great day in the rockies with our guide Kyle. He showed us everything and told us the nicest storys. We would recommend Kyle and the tour all day. Thanks again Kyle for the amazing Day!🤙🏼 …

Shannon Brazzil

Booking a private tour was the best decision for our family while vacationing in Denver. Traveling with both our young children as well as my senior parents, this trip did not disappoint! Josh, our tour guide, made our time in the mountains beyond memorable. His knowledge of the history and area combined with his professionalism and care for our family were second to none! While he told us that he was fairly new to this job, we would have never guessed it! In our half day trip, we had the opportunity to visit the Red Rocks Amphitheater, take a light hike at Echo Lake, visit Mt. Evans, and even grab a quick beer at a local establishment in Idaho Springs. Josh navigated our trip like a true professional! This trip was everything that we could have hoped for and more! We are extremely happy that we booked with Aspire Tours and especially with our guide, Josh!

Ry K

Paul, our tour guide from Aspire Tours, was fantastic! He was funny, extremely knowledgeable, excellent driver, and overall wonderful tour guide! The sandwiches were delicious. Paul relayed historical events that occurred at specific sites as we were leaving Denver and the current layout of the city. He informed us where wildfires had spread and how to tell where wildfire damage had occurrd. He pointed out multiple animals we encountered (elk, moose, pika, marmot, and big horn sheep) and gave us excellent information about each of them. Paul pointed out and James’s various vegetation (five petaled avens, sky pilots, Indian paint brush, ect). Paul had a great plan and factored in the possibility of rain. He gave perfect amounts of time to view and walk around various areas. There were various ages on this tour and Paul was relatable and inclusive to everyone. Would highly recommend going on a tour with him!!! Thank you Paul!!!

edubbaej01

Our guide Clyde was awesome!…. Very knowledgeable and fun all around. Quite the adventurer. Company plans very organized tours even providing a delicious lunch. Also, thank you so much for giving special permission to travel to the Rocky Mountains summit via the one-way dirt trail road. It was scary but well worth it. Go Clyde! and thanks Aspire.

Emily

My husband and I enjoyed the “Discover Rocky Mountain National Park” sightseeing tour with Elsa in mid-September. We had a perfect day of weather, but it was still chilly at the summit – bring layers! Although we are active people, we are from Wisconsin and, considering the altitude, chose this tour rather than the hiking tour and feel it was the right choice. Elsa was experienced, knowledgeable, and charming. She confidently navigated the steep, winding mountain roads. Elsa asked the group for our preference at various points (photo op at park sign, time of lunch, which route, one last stop) and chose places that gave us the option to walk more if we wanted to. Overall this was a wonderful tour for out-of-towners who don’t want to stress about logistics. I only wish this tour was one hour longer, to allow for a bit more time at each of the major stops. #treesniffer

Jennifer Behn

Went on the Rocky Mountain National Park tour on Oct. 18. Kyle was an amazing tour guide and shared a lot of history about the area as well as information on the wildlife and other points of interests. The tour had frequent stops for restroom breaks and opportunities to walk around. Would definitely book another tour with Aspire if I make it back to the area!

Margaret Ellen Hocker

Clyde is the TRUTH. We took the Rocky Mountain sight seeing tour with him on Monday. He was so kind and informative. I am not outdoorsy at all, but by the time the tour was complete I was ready to see more and started looking up the next available tours. This is a MUST DO when my group returns.

Russell Wilder

We did the Rocky Mountain National Park tour on October 23, 2021. Our driver/guide Gentry was really great. She was Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful, even refilling our water bottles from a 3 gallon water bottle she had.

Frensheska Ayala

I’d highly recommend using Aspire tour for your guided tours! We did a full day tour with Dylan and a half day tour with Josh. Both of our guides were 10/10. They were super informative, friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and just all around great! We’d be happy to book with Aspire again if we ever re-visit Denver :)

Amanda Happel

Best tour in town! Take a 4 day tour from Union Station! You won't be disappointed. See the foothills like I did (see photos). Great price! Excellent service!

Tim O'Hearn

Kyle, was fantastic! His vast array of knowledge of the park and the surrounding towns made for an amazing experience. His passion for the park, wild life, and history made our tour wonderful. Kyle’s enthusiasm and desire to tutor the guests on his tours really pushed this experience over the top for myself and our group. Thank you!

Miao Wang

We had our rocky national park 1 day tour with Gentry. This is a tour more about taking the shuttle with a small group and going around all key scenic part of the national park. (They have other options for trail and hiking). This tour that we attended is about get the best view, get the background knowledge of formation and the wildlife. Highly recommend if you want a thorough understand and learning experience! Btw, Gentry is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She has a master in geology which makes the tour just 10 times more worth it!

Mike Quin

This tour was absolutely amazing. It is 1000% worth every dollar we spent on it, you really get what you pay for on this trip. Our guide, can't quite remember his name but it was a tall guy with long hair and a slight accent, was the best guide we could've asked for. He had great knowledge of the history of Colorado, kept us entertained the whole time, and showed us great views with lots of information. They also supplied lunch and plenty of water and drove us everywhere. Overall great trip with the most breathtaking views I've seen so far in my life thanks to this tour. Thank you!!

Christine Bossler

Nick was a great tour guide! He took us to Rocky Mountain National Park and took a group of us hiking for the day. He pointed out so many things, told us some history of the area and let us stop for bathroom breaks and to pick up snacks. Highly recommend Nick the tour guide and Aspire tours in general.

Jackie Peck

The INCREDIBLE Gentry led us on the Private Rocky Mountain Escape from Denver tour with my Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society chapter on our visit to Colorado for a national convention. On our last day in Colorado, we went on this tour and this was one of the highest highlights of the trip. It's been a week since we were on this trip and I still cannot stop thinking about it. Gentry was the best tour guide ever. With her kind, helpful, and knowledgeable personality, she made this the experience of a lifetime for me and the rest of our group. She picked us up from our hotel in Aurora and drove us to Denver, on the way to the Rocky Mountains, narrating the ride, the sights, and gave us a lot of history about Colorado on the way. (She also let us play our own music through Bluetooth which made for a cool experience driving into the mountains.) She's extremely well-spoken, friendly, and got along with our group well. She made conversation and answered all of my questions about Colorado. Our first stop was Red Rocks Amphitheatre - she parked and got off the bus with us and showed us around to the Rock and Roll Museum, the stage itself, and gave us some fun facts (the rocks form a natural amphitheater!) . Our next stop was Mount Blue Sky, and this was my most favorite part of the tour. Gentry drove us up to the mountain range, pointed out the foothills and animals along the way. Once we got there, she checked for us to see if we could walk on the frozen lake, and then took photos of our group, and led us along a trail through the woods that's right next to it. It was the definition of a scenic, happy, incredible experience - I have not stopped thinking about it since then. Gentry truly allowed me to have one of the greatest days of my life with this incredible tour, and I cannot thank her enough for her kindness and expertise. Next time I come to CO with my family, I know who I want to lead our tour. THANK YOU GENTRY! With love, Jackie

Jasmin Lee

Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Aaron, he arrived early and prepared snacks and water for all 13 of us. The tour was extremely fun, very flexible (appreciate this!). Aaron had so many fun facts and we learned so much within the 3 hours with him, we’re still talking about him even after the trip. !! Everyone ask for Aaron for your future trips and you won’t regret it!! Hi Aaron! - zed friends from NY

Molly Carson

The Foothills Explorer tour was so much fun! Elsa was the best tour guide we could ask for - very knowledgeable and took us to so many different places!

Frank Hammer

Five germans on a 16 day round trip trough Colorado with hiking three 14ers, lots of great experience and much fun with our friends from Aspire Tours. Thanks for the super organisation! With pleasure again!

Stephany Montalvo

Aaron our tour guid was informative and a super swell guy. He took us over a frozen lake and through the blizzard we persevered!! Nothing like coming from the south to experience the best of snow weather. 100% recommend! Ask for Aaron he won’t disappoint!!

Bitsy

Philip was our tour guide did the Rocky mountain escape tour. Went through juniper pass to Mt Evans and echo lodge down to Idaho springs. He was very informative and friendly. Definitely gonna do it again soon.

Maya H.

Had a wonderful day with Kyle and a small group of 4. Saw great scenery, including the fall leaves, and had a good workout. Kyle had a really positive energy and shared a lot of interesting info about Denver, nature, etc. also played some great rock music and had good local recommendations. Definitely worth the time and money!!

Lisa Snedden

We were in town for a conference and took 1/2 day to to the Rockies mountain tour. It was amazing and I wish I had down the full day because it went too quick! Not knowing anything about the area it was nice to have someone show us the ins and outs. Ryan was our guide and he was so good! He was knowledgeable and fun! The views we saw of Mt. Evans were breathtaking! Idaho springs was a nice little finish. A cute town and we hit 2 breweries but could have spent a whole day there. So glad we took this tour and if I ever make it back this will be #1 on my list to do in Colorado again!

Chris Hadden

Nicholas Phillips did an amazing job as our guide. It was a great tour full of many picturesque locations and stories of the area. My only suggestion is for individuals to take Dramamine if they get car sick. Ha ha.

Mario Arvizu

Highly recommend the Rocky Mountain National Park tour to everyone. We got to see some spectacular views. Tour guide, Kyle, was extremely knowledgeable. We learned about the wildlife in the park, the water system created by the rockies and does and don’t when hiking. Looking forward to returning for a hiking tour in the spring. I had several questions prior to our tour and the staff was very helpful in answering them every time.

Angela Tillis

My husband and I had a wonderful time in Denver. We took 2 tours. The Foothills tour and the Escape tour with the company Aspire. Mike was our tour guide on both tours. He was awesome and very knowledgeable. Everyone that I had an encounter with at Aspire had a very upbeat and helpful attitude. Josh was extremely kind when he took our first reservation. Will was very accommodating with making our second tour reservation. I highly recommend using this company for your sightseeing adventure....ask for Mike to be your guide (no disrespect to the other guides but Mike rocks)!! Between the 2 tours, we were able to see Red Rock Amphitheatre, Evergreen, Golden, Idaho Springs and Echo Lake Lodge and a few other spots along the way. The views were breathtaking!!!

Joslyn Layne

Our extended family, ages 6-65, took a private tour with Aspire Tours to Rocky Mtn National Park. We felt we got lucky with both the weather and the guide: Mike was the best and made our day so enjoyable. He knows the park thoroughly, and could tell us interesting things about the animals, the mountain peaks, the trees, the trails - you name it. An experienced outdoors guide, we all would book with him again for any excursion. (My mom sent me a photo of him and asked me to send it along to him & thank him again for making our day so wonderful.) We walked (whenever we wanted) for short spells around Lily Lake, and to see a waterfall, to check out the views above the tree line, and to watch the moose & later the elk further back from the road. Fall colors were in bright yellows, and Long’s Peak came in and out of the clouds. There were the faintest snow flurries up above the treeline as the clouds rolled in. We saw moose, mule deer, elk in the park, and even a bald eagle on the drive out. I highly recommend using Aspire if you want to take a tour!

Wendy Yesenia

LOVED this tour!! So worth it. Steve was very informative and made sure we enjoyed every view. I would definitely recommend this tour next time you’re in Denver!

Katie Sellers

Aspire was wonderful at coordinating a private tour for our group of 23 in town for a conference! We had a perfect weather afternoon to visit 3 local breweries. Elsa and Clyde were fantastic guides- safe driving, excellent beer recommendations, and provided fun facts throughout our travel time! They went out of their way to make sure we had a great time! HIGHLY recommend Aspire for your next adventure!

Grace Meadows

We loved this day trip! Book this if you want to get out of the city and into the fresh air. We booked the 4-Mile Rocky Mountain Hiking Tour. My sister and I joined a group of 8 other people from around the US and beyond. We left from Union Station in Denver, which was super convenient. Our tour guide was Phil, and he told us about the history of the area on the drive. On the way up, we stopped for coffee at a local place, filled our water bottles with fresh spring water, and did an impromptu stop to see wild animals. Phil had a plan to take us up a popular hike, but after not finding a great parking spot, he asked if we could change plans. We went to Lily Mountain and had an incredible hike, which was Type 2 fun, as Phil called it. After taking a few breaks to get used to the elevation, we got up to the top and had a 360 view. Gorgeous and breathtaking! After we hiked down, we went to Lily Lake, then drove back to Union Station. I’m so glad we went. Oh, and the lunch was tasty, too!

Vy Vy Vo

The Half-Day Rocky Mountain Escape with Aspire Tours was my absolute favorite part of my annual birthday trip! Enough said. It was my first time in Denver, and as much as I loved taking photos of buildings downtown, I knew I needed photos of the great outdoors in Colorado (for myself and for the Gram...lol). So I did some research and came across Aspire Tours on Google. They had reasonable prices and helpful team members answering my inquiries on the phone. It was super easy to book. I knew I definitely needed to get outside for some sun and fresh air as that's the point of getting away from home so I am so happy I booked this for my last full day in Denver. Ryan was AMAZING as a tour guide!!! He had good vibes right from the start when we all met at Union Station before our departure. He was patient, personable, knowledgeable, and funny! We were never bored as he provided many interesting and fun facts about Colorado and more as we headed to our destinations. He also was willing to take many photos of us (for the Gram...lol). The amount of time we had at each destination was enough to take pictures and explore the area. The entire tour group loved him! Ryan is an absolute asset to Aspire Tours, and I hope to tour with him again in the future! If you are thinking about booking with Aspire Tours, DO IT! Trust me, you won't regret it! This is coming from a non-outdoors, non-hiking, and non-people person. :) If you don't believe me, check out the views in my attached photos to this review. I mean...can it get any more BEAUTIFUL?! Thanks again, Ryan!

Khalin Ikner

Izzy was amazing! She was a great driver and tour guide that got us to some breath taking spots! I would have never guessed she was new to the company 😊 …

Cherith Campbell-Bell

The full day guided hike of Rocky Mountain National Park is a great way to experience the Rocky Mountains if you are a solo traveller and/or only have limited time. Ty was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about Denver, Boulder and the National Park (and beyond!). He was also very considerate about what each member of the group wanted to get out of the day and the varying levels of fitness and hiking experience. I would definitely book onto another tour like this with Aspire Tours in the future.

Sara L

Went on the Rocky Mountain National Park Tour with Gentry and it was great! So convenient to have the whole day planned out for us and not have to worry about driving. Also loved all the expert knowledge and facts that Gentry shared with us. Definitely an experience to drive up to some of the sightseeing points of the park. The only headache was that the original tour I booked was cancelled due to not enough people signing up, luckily we were able to fit in to this tour for the same day, and I am grateful to have been able to experience this tour.

A.J.

We took a hiking tour with Aspire. The guide Gobar was great and took us to Emerald Lake near flattop... Beautiful! The tour provided a lunch (sandwich) and they also carried some snacks. The hike was a total of 6.4 miles but didn't seem much because of the interesting conversations along the way. Recommended.

Daniel Triviz

Dude!! This was a great experience!! ELSA IS THE BEST!!! I recommend absolutely!! You have to ask for ELSA!! She is the best tour guide!! She went above and beyond. And she plays a mad game of pool!! Elsa Elsa Elsa!!!!

Margaux Militello

Dylan led a 10/10 hiking experience on the Cub Lake trail in RMNP. We had a great group and pace! We learned so much all while being able to take input surroundings. I can’t wait to get track out for my next experience with Aspire!

Haim Cohen

Terrific day tour to the Rocky Mountain Park. Jed the tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend your and guide!

Remiya Mathew

Had an amazing experience seeing different areas around Colorado with my family and having Jed as our personal tour guide. It was truly a fun experience. He’s very down to earth and fit in with the family just great. It was a trip to remember. He even joined our snowball fight but sadly we can’t win against someone who can build snowballs like a machine. We would book Jed again for future tours in a heartbeat. BTW had to edit my review because my family has been making fun of me for spelling Jed’s name wrong despite him mentioning like 3 times on the trip, hence me editing LMFAO!

Shelby Worthington

We had a wonderful time on our foothills tour with Aaron this week. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and led a wonderful tour. He had great Denver recommendations for us. He took great pictures of us at our stops! The tour was also great and just what we needed for half a day in Denver. Would totally recommend!

Ebone

Eddie was amazing! The whole trip felt like it was a family road trip because of the environment he set. He was very knowledgeable, funny, and the experiences we got to see in RMNP were memorable, especially for this Texan! Thank you guys for an amazing tour. :)

Our family of four (parents and adult children) booked the Rocky Mountain National Park tour on 09/15/2022. Aaron was our guide. He is a very professional and extremely knowledgeable guide. He made the trip so much fun sharing his knowledge on such a wide variety of subjects: geology, ecology, flora, and fauna. I was particularly intrigued by the information on Aspens and smelling the Ponderosa pines. Vanilla? Yes! Aaron was thoughtful, gracious, and humorous. We had such a great time spending the day with him. The scenery in the park was majestic and spectacular! We also saw coyotes and elk! The communication from Aspire was excellent and they were very accommodating when we needed to switch tour dates. The pick up location in Boulder was very convenient. We arrived early enough to grab a great breakfast at the Walnut Cafe. Touring with Aspire is the best way to see the park! You don’t have to drive, you can sit back and enjoy. You also don’t need to purchase a timed entry ticket from the park. Fewer vehicles in the park is also better for the environment. We plan to tour with Aspire on future trips to the area.

Jenn Burnam

My bestie and I did the 4 hour Foothills tour. It was wonderful, relaxing and so much fun. Josh was a great tour guide and knows his stuff and was an excellent driver. Wish we had more time to do the other tours!!

Natasha Stellhorn

Wow! What an amazing tour. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Lindsay, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and impressive overall (especially her driving skills -you’d never catch me driving those mountains). She knew a plethora of information regarding topography, history, and everything in between. I would recommend this tour and Lindsay as the tour guide to anyone and everyone. Thanks for a great experience.

Priyanka Gangal

This tour is the complete package to exploring the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park. Kyle was our tour guide and he was awesome! He had so much information regarding the park, the mountains, Colorado history and made the tour a lot of fun!! We also stopped at Lyons and the Stanley hotel and walked quick trails at Lily Lake before heading 11000ft up into the mountains. Highly recommend this tour during your visit to Denver!

Jerry Fleming

Kyle our tour guide made this a memorable experience. We did the private tour at RMNP. Kyle provided great energy, knowledge and modified the hike to our abilities. 10/10 will be back to see Kyle again.

Geoff Wilson

Aspire Tours took our company (about 40 people) on an all-day tour to Rocky Mountains National Park as part of our company retreat. They did a spectacular job. Our entire team loved the day. It was paced well, with a nice mix of stops and different activities everyone could enjoy. The team was extremely knowledgable and helpful. Highly recommended!

Roxana LS

Great tourist guide , very charismatic and knowledgeable, it made the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommended for all ages, beautiful views. I look forward to booking with you again in the future . Only negative, regret not booking a full day tour (but that’s my fault :)))

Jenny P

Wow, I absolutely loved this RMNP tour and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area for the first time. The park was breathtakingly beautiful and every view from every side was just stunning. Our group was great and our guide, Will, was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, accommodating to our specific needs and interests, and flexible with the schedule. He was also very attentive and empathetic when some of us experienced altitude sickness along the way. I felt like he really went above and beyond to make sure that we were well informed, comfortable, and just having a good time. I really appreciated his enthusiasm and positive energy throughout the tour, and his love and passion for wildlife and nature made this experience one of a kind. Thanks to Aspire Tours and Will for making my first time in Colorado so memorable! :)

Nancy Suter

My husband and I are golden oldies. We took the best Rocky Mountain National Park tour ever! The weather cooperated (in January), the guide, Kyle, was absolutely super-knowledgable about the mountains, safety precautions for all kinds of weather (we didn’t need any on our trip), recommendations for hiking boots, places to eat in Estes Park and Denver; knew the names of all the mountains, and a great van playlist. He was a good and safe driver. All around a very enjoyable trip. Thank you, Kyle!

Diego QR

Simply amazing. Found them on Viator and booked with Aspire directly. First thing was they gave me a discount just for booking directly with them. Thanks for that Will! The tour itself was breathtaking (Half-Day Rocky Mountain Escape). The views are unlike any other I had ever seen. Moreover, the shuttle was super comfortable and the group was small, almost like a private tour. Thanks for being an amazing guide Steve! I cannot express more how much my girlfriend and I loved the tour. It was breath-taking.

Lily Lee

We took a tour of the Rocky Mountain National Park with Kyle. We were picked up from Union Station by the flag pole. There was good communication about the tour pick up being late because of the snowfall at that night. The van was new, comfortable and clean. Kyle was a safe driver and the drip went smoothly despite the snowfall. Kyle is an avid hiker and well traveled. He lives locally and is a wealth of knowledge with regard so the park, and local sites, restaurants on the tour and the city of Denver. He joined up with us on the light hikes around the park. Cheerful, upbeat, and fun. Really made the day a wonderful memory. Thanks Kyle !

Jessica Brown

We had an absolute amazing time today! Our tour guide Nick was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area which made you feel more connected and involved. Heck, by the end of the tour, I wanted to mine for gold and I never thought that would’ve came out of my mouth. By far, the tour was the highlight of our trip! Highly recommend!

John Visaysouk

Friendly, entertaining, great information I would love to go again. Our tour guide was fun, informative and captivating. I would highly recommend the tour for a trip out to the red rocks. Also Buffalo Bill should be Bison Bill in my opinion should have been buried in Cody.

Susan Horne

Booked a tour to Rocky Mtn NP for a group of 50 people. Wasn't sure how good a tour we'd get with that large a group but our guides, Jed and Ryan, did an amazing job of engaging the group, sharing details of each place we visited. We had plenty of stops for bathroom breaks, snacks, a hike around Lily Lake and to the overlook at Fall River Pass. I think we all know more about the color changing of fall leaves than we ever thought possible. Fabulous trip, fantastic driver, great service from the office staff - can't recommend Aspire Tours enough!

DeAnne Sanders

Our tour of the Rocky Mountain National Park, with our guide Ty, was excellent. Great pace to the day to see as much as possible. We were graced with many wildlife sightings such as deer, elk, moose, a bald eagle, marmots and more. Ty provided great information, hospitality and tips throughout our day through the natural beauty of the park.

jessca

Our tour guide Jed on the full day sightseeing Rocky Mountains National Park tour was amazing! He knew so much about RMNP, Denver, and the surrounding area. I learned so much from him. He went out of his way to make sure everyone felt welcome and had a great time. I also enjoyed the group tour aspect and was able to meet other travelers and make friendships that I wouldn't have made otherwise. I cannot wait to go on another tour! This was honestly such a great experience I cannot express it in a single review. Thank you for making my trip to Colorado so memorable!

patrick fitzsimmons (fitzcOsmos)

awesome tour. our guide Mitchell was super knowledgeable positive and friendly. totally cool guy. we saw Moose elk deer and of course mountains. totally awesome experience and very glad we booked it

alessandrea Vega

Zach was great! This was my husband and it’s first hike and it was totally worth it. It was a perfect balance of safe, exciting and informational. I learned about different types of trees and Native American medicine. I am grateful to find aspire tours. Inspired me to go hiking more often. Great experience

Sandy P

This was an awesome experience. Our tour guide Elsa was very knowledgeable and super friendly, being a native from Denver, she gave us tons of information, not only about the tour, the Rocky Mountains, but also the history of Denver in general. And by the way, she’s an excellent driver. No need to worry about those curves on the mountain.

Jason Krobatsch

Such a great way to see Rocky Mountain National Park! I was hesitant about going with a group, but I learned so much having a guide and had a little solo hiking time as well. Nick was the best! He tailored the tour to people's abilities, giving more seasoned hikers an additional trail. We saw some elk as well! I highly recommend this tour (full day).

Jennifer Gagnon

We debated between the half day Rocky Mountain “escape” vs “hike.” The escape is leisurely (can be done in sandals) whereas the hike is true workout. We opted for the escape, lead by Zack. He was very informative, we appreciated all of his knowledge and stories. The tour was a good mix, you get to see Clear Creek Canyon, Echo Lake, and Idaho Falls. Great tour!

Rob Rupe

Awesome day in the Rockies. Went on a 3+ hour emerald lake hike w Nick as our guide. Incredible views and really fun way to explore the area, very manageable hike. Nick was a great guide, super entertaining, warm and informative. Highly recommend.

Cindy Kuettner

This was our first time using Aspire Tours and wow it was such a great experience! Our tour guide Elsa was so fun and knowledgeable and she definitely made the experience one that my family will never forget! 10/10 would recommend and Aspire is lucky to have someone like Elsa on their team :)

Jonathan Mount

Our tour guide Win was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. He kept the group informed and engaged throughout the day. I highly recommend the Rocky Mountain Tour out of Denver. Also, special shout out to Kathryn in the office. My mother accidentally dropped her wallet in the van. She went all the way back and retrieved it for us. And thank goodness she did be cause we were leaving town early the next morning. So thankful for her and the entire team for an amazing day with memories that will last for years to come.

Katie Ives

What a great private excursion! They picked us up at our Airbnb in Denver, our driver Josh was very knowledgeable about all things Colorado that we questioned him about on our 2-hour drive. Then our guide Dillon was just as knowledgeable as he guided us through the Arkansas River. We initially signed up for the float but ended up going whitewater rafting after Josh suggested we may be able to change last minute. They were so accommodating, from picking us up where we were staying, switching the type of excursion, AND even picking up a small cake for a birthday we were celebrating! Once it was time to head back it felt like we had just spent a day with friends. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Jerry Murphy

We booked a 4 hour tour with Aspire and had a great time. Elsa was a terrific tour guide and an expert driver. Best ever.

Bethan Boutin

I’d give them 100 stars if I could - Nick and Zack were amazing on the 1/2 day Foothills tour and we were psyched to have Nick again on the 1/2 day Rockies tour. We learned a lot, saw amazing sights and had a great time on both trips and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Denver! I would request Nick again in the future for sure!

Kevin Sherman

Had a fantastic experience touring Rocky Mountain Park with Kyle as our guide. Supremely knowledgeable and kept it fun. We did a bus tour which is great for seniors. We'll be back for a hiking tour in the future!

Amy Walker

Amazing tour and amazing tour guide. Will was very knowledgeable, kind and personable! Highly recommend!!

Kathryn Errante

We had an excellent tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. Our guide Ty was enthusiastic, very knowledgable, friendly, caring, and looked out for the needs of his passengers. A nice sandwich lunch was provided. We liked the small group format in the transport van.

SOUMYANANDA GOSWAMI

Worth the tour, amidst scenic views and lovely mountains. I recommend this tour to anyone looking for 6-7 hours of solid sight seeing and a bit of hiking. My tour guide, Braelei, was very well informed, had an excellent knowledge of Geology and local history, knew a great deal about birds and animals and definitely a chill person; made sure that there was no conflict of opinion as to the places we were visiting, also a very steady driver. Gave us enough time to explore things on our own.

Bill Rogers

My wife and I had a terrific time on our Rocky Mountain National Park tour yesterday. Gentry, our guide, did and excellent job pointing out history, geology and wildlife on our day-long tour. (She’s a very skillful driver, too!) I recommend Aspire Tours and Gentry for a great RMNP trip.

Paul

I highly recommend this tour company for anyone visiting Denver, CO. I went on their Mt. Blue Sky/Mt. Evans tour on 8/30/2022 and had an amazing time. Our tour guide Aaron is excellent. A+ service from Aaron. He exemplified great energy, enthusiasm, knowledge, and care for us tourists.

Bennett Wixon

I did a rafting trip with Dylan as the Captain in Browns Canyon. It was a blast. He was funny, knowledgeable, and very understanding of some people who seemed nervous on the trip. We were able to stop a few times for breaks and the trip itself had a few exciting currents but nothing overwhelming for a first timer! I would definitely do another trip with these guys, they were great!

Kimberly

We had a large group for the Brews and Views tour with Clyde and Elsa. They were so amazing! Very well versed on the history of Colorado! They took great care of us! Would highly recommend this company!

Jasiel M

Kyle was an amazing guide and showed us all the best spots in the Rocky Mountain national park! He actually lives in the area and is extremely familiar with the park, so he was super knowledgeable and made the experience fun and exciting for everyone. I was a little nervous at first by the price of the tour, but after being out all day and seeing so many animals and beautiful scenery along the tour I knew it was well worth it! I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves adventure and who want to explore nature.

Chris Doremus

Clyde, Clyde, Clyde!!! (That counts as 3 mentions btw) you were amazing the way you got all of us to the park, fed us, educated us, took our pictures and became our friend! Highly reccomend this business, no catches, just fun!

Bria Wilson

This tour is so worth the money! From beginning to end, it was a complete experience that’s very low-key and relaxed, yet fulfilling. Ryan was prompt with pick up and departure, and professional when the fourth guest that was to join us was not able to come. He pointed out plants, animals (we saw elk and a bald eagle!!), and gave other interesting information about Denver, all while driving safely in partial snow and holding a conversation with all of us! We were unable to hike to Bear Lake due to the crowds, but he quickly took us to an alternative location in the park to hike (Gem Lake), which was an awesome, beautiful climb and provided amazing views (and weather, ironically, as it snowed on the other half of the park). It was chilly, which was to be expected, but Ryan even stopped and prompted us to make sure we got adequate gear at a sporting goods store prior to entering the park. He was also well prepared to discuss hiking at the altitude, and was very accommodating to our slow pace as we got acclimated :) the stop in Lyons was very quaint—don’t be fooled by the quiet storefronts, the people inside are bubbly, friendly, and the barking dog has some great food and drink options. Even the sandwiches that Ryan picked up next door for lunch were delicious and filling; we ate at the midway point of our hike. Overall, a real 10 out of 10 experience, too many pictures to count, and would recommend to even a solo traveler (like myself) who has a good chunk of the day to spare and wants to explore the Rockies without needing to do a ton of research and preparation beforehand.

Austin Kuettner

First time with Aspire Tours and I had an absolutely great time! With it being my first time in Colorado, Elsa was very knowledgeable and a great guide for our tour! I would go on another tour from Aspire again! Thanks for the amazing memories!

Chris Landsberg

We did a Red Rocks / Foothills tour from Denver led by Ty. He was knowledgeable and fun. The sights were great. The bus was comfortable. It was an excellent day.

Angel Rua

Great full day tour getting you into Rocky Mountain National Park for an overview of all the park's highlights. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional guide kept us informed of stops and timing, and was always available to answer our questions. Overall, it's a great into tour to the park if it's your first time visiting.

Daniel Owens

We enjoyed the half-day Rocky Mountain Escape Tour on 25 Sep 22. Our tour guide, Izzy, was amazing and made this tour memorable for us!!! I recommend that anyone with a few hours of free time, when visiting Denver, take this tour. It’s a must-do experience!

Makena Garren

Elsa was amazing! Very friendly, funny, and informative. We saw Echo Lake Park and Idaho Springs on our tour! I absolutely recommend the 4 hour Rocky Mountain Escape tour!

Anthony Vecchione

Super awesome!! Aaron was the absolute best tour guide, friend, and adventure buddy. He was super passionate, had great recommendations and really made our experience unique. If visiting Colorado, highly recommend

Jessica Howard

Loved this company! They took us on a brews and views tour for our company. Elsa and Clyde were the best! Lots of interesting info, fun to talk to, and happy to take all the pictures for us.

alex

We took the full day rocky mountain national park tour with Mike and the half day red rocks tour with Gentry. Both guides were very professional, informative, and engaging. Highly recommended if you are visiting Denver for a few days!

Tim O'Brian

We spent an outstanding day At Rocky Mountain national Park with our tour guide named Ty. The day was very interesting and the sites were beautiful I would highly recommend you taking Aspire tour guides if you really want to know the history and the layout of this beautiful national park.

Mark A. Procopio

Get ready to experience a great day! Kyle was great, he's knowledgeable, great driver and shared some of his favorite places along the tour route. It's a fantastic ride too and through Rocky Mountain National Park. I'm sure any and all the guides make for a great day experiencing a day in Colorado. I do and I will recommend Aspire tours.

Joshua Redman

Aaron was a great guid to have during our tour through Rocky Mountain National Park. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the ecological system of the park that made our tour memorable. He has a great personality and very down to earth. If you can get a tour with Aaron, you won’t be disappointed.

Vishnu Rajith

I booked my RMNP hiking tour via Viator. Aspire tours called me the day before the tour telling me that the hiking tour had to be cancelled because they don't have enough people who signed up for the tour. They offered another sightseeing tour on the same day if i'm interested. But, i really wanted to go on a hike, i chose to do the hiking tour the next day. I had to cancel some hotel and rental car booking due to this. Clyde was our tour guide. He is a great guy. Made sure everyone on the tour was comfortable with the hike. shared some of his experiences and stories about denver. He also clicked some great pictures for us. Highly recommend this tour with Clyde. Thank you Clyde!

colin iorio

This hiking guide was amazing, truly an awesome way to spend time in Colorado and visit the Rocky Mountain National Park. Our guide Kyle Harris (@Kyleharris996) was great, and even took a couple of us up to the top of the mountain, which had a beautiful view. He was very informative, funny, and really tied the hike together. Would definitely recommend!

Shaila Saaki

The tour was okay, but didnt meet our expectations to be honest. We only stopped at 2 lakes and 1 visitor center and at longs peak. There were some nice views and the guide was very friendly as well, but way too much time spent in the stops which weren’t necessary at all, specially the lakes were almost similar, there was no need to stop and spend this much time in each, we couldve seen another spot within that time. For 345$ (2 persons), expected to see more spots. Specially since at this time Trail ridge isnt open, it could be compensated by seeing another spot.

Jacqueline Bullock

Our large group had a wonderful time during our brewery tour with Clyde and Elsa!! They were so fun to work with and personable. Will use them again in the future!

Beth Hogan

A recent solo trip to Denver was trying to make the most of a free morning. I signed up for the Denver Foothills Tour and so grateful! Susie was awesome and so informative on so many aspects of the trip as well as Denver. My only disappointment is that I didn’t have time to do the full day tour in addition! One of the groups on our trip had done it yesterday and were so impressed they had signed up for a second tour. Strongly recommend if you aren’t quite sure what to do or see.

Samer Malas

Where do I start?!? First time to the Rockies and Kyle was hands down the s**t! My son absolutely loved him! I brought my son for his bday and it was so much fun. Kyle took us climbing as far as he could safely and it was so much fun! Very informational and kept our attention constantly thru the tour. Loved it and will definitely recommend to anyone I know planning to see the Rockies!

Donna Richey

Elsa was great on our half-day mountain escape! Entertaining, educational and very welcoming. This is a "must do" tour for getting out of the city to see Colorado's beauty! And ask for Elsa.

Kingshuk mallick

Me and my wife went during the 1st week of march to the rocky mountain tour. Let me summarize my review at the onset: We had THE most iconic and memorable trip to the snowy mountains along with these guys. If you are in Denver/Boulder I would highly recommend you to take this trip. Our guide was perfectly on time at the pickup location and all along the way he took care of us and kept us entertained. He was the perfect travel companion and guide you could wish for; funny, informative and excellent knowledge of the region. The lunch sandwich+chips was good (they took our food allergies into account as well). There were multiple stops along the way to use to the washroom and stretch our legs. It was a particularly sunny day hence the views of the mountains were breathtaking providing multiple insta-opportunities. We heard many bear and moose stories and spotted a few dear. On our way back an entire herd of elk crossed the streets right in front of us! A perfect 8.5 hrs trip from Denver.

Dipanshu Walia

This tour really elevated our experience in the Rockies. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide than Aaron. He was very down to earth, fun, and knowledgable!

Mary (Mary Ellen)

The tour guides were awesome making my trip to Denver so much better! Would def use them again. They were full of knowledge and a lot of fun!

Molly McMahon

Booked a 1/2 day hike. We got rained out but our guide was really knowledgeable and he had a backup plan to wait out the weather in Idaho Springs. We got to explore the little street, get a beer and still do a short hike as the weather subsided. It sucks we couldn't do the actual tour but it was a great experience and the tour guide made all the difference!

sigrid wallace

I took one of their Rocky Mountain tours. The price was well worth the all day excursion. Our guide, Jed was A+++++.. I didnt have time to do much exploring on my own. There were plenty of bathroom breaks, a stop for rocky mountain spring water. We had an excellant box lunch in Estes Park. We saw mule deer and elk among other wildlife. Tip your guide they are worth it..

Taylor Kuykendall

I went on the Rocky Mountain National Park tour with Mel. She was an incredible guide! We saw lots of wildlife, checked out a distillery and generally had a good time checking out lots of different types of spots. One thing I was concerned about that might help you make the decision to take this tour (which I would recommend): The reason you don't see much of a detailed agenda, at least on the Rock Mtn. tour, is that your guide will have some latitude to adjust the stops based on your group. This ended up working out perfectly for us as we were all pretty like-minded in what we wanted out of the tour. For example, we spent a bit more time on some outdoor activities rather than stopping at gift shop we all voted to skip. The sandwich was more substantial than I actually expected but there were also opportunities to grab food along the way. Overall, very impressed with the company. Everything went off without a hitch despite weather not being cooperative and I left the tour with even more great recommendations about what to do in Denver. If I revisit, I'd try some of their other tours and because each trip can be so unique, I'd do the Rocky Mountain tour again if I go back with friends.

Traci Winter

Highly recommend! Izzy is by far the coolest person I've ever met! We only had 3 days in Denver and this was but far the highlight of the trip!

Dvowaah Dvinniti Dvinnation

The tour today was quite eventful, engaging and scenic. And our guide Izzy was knowledgeable, funny and considerate. 5 stars to Aspire!

roberto rea

ZACH/ZACK was the best tour guide ever. Super Knowledgeable on plants, Denver, and LIFE IN GENERAL. He helped me get my life together and have a a better outlook on life

Jason Alicea

Amazing tour in Rocky Mountain National Park. After picking us up in Denver, our guide Austin took us up to Cub lake where we ate lunch that was provided by Aspire and was vegan and delicious. There were heards of Elk and even got to see a moose on the trail. This is our third tour with them and we will continue to do more. Thank you Aspire Tours

Alexandra Kadell

AMAZING! I would highly recommend doing the day tour. Our tour guide Jed was knowledge, funny, and cognizant of the experience of each visitor. Jed covered a range of topics such as history, geology, biotic communities, and his "Dad jokes" provided an educational and entertaining day. During the tour Jed took us to multiple locations throughout the park which allowed us to explore, take in the breathtaking landscape, experience wildlife up close, and capture the perfect Instagram post. This is an ideal activity to do if you are traveling alone. Jed made me feel comfortable and provide exceptional one-on-one guidance. I booked seamlessly with Trip Advisor. For folks meeting the tour at Union Station in Denver the group meets in front of the flagpole!

Fernando Iñarra

We had a great time, enjoyed some of the most beautiful landscapes in Colorado. Dylan, our tourguide, made the trip the highlight of our vacation.

Craig Jones

Had an amazing guided walk with Mel to Emerald Lake. Stunning scenery all the way, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mel gave the group a history of Denver, info on flora and fauna, as well as being sure to talk about conservation of the area. The walk was gentle but not too easy (about 4 miles, round trip), and we were provided lunch. Would highly recommend.

Simon Skedd

Hi there Aspire Tours, in the short time I had to spend in Denver, I knew that I wanted to experience more than just what another downtown had to offer, and that is what led me to your company. And I am so glad that I did. With less than 3 days available, I spent a fantastic day touring Rocky Mountain Park with the venerable host, Devon (sp?) who filled the driving time with his vast knowledge of both Colorado, but also of his love of the mountains, RMNP, and the creatures that call the park home. I enjoyed that tour so much that I decided to opt for a last minute sunset hike the next day, with the new-to-Denver citizen, Mel. Another fantastic host who brought her enthusiasm and love of nature (just mention wolves/bears and prepare to be wowed), as well as a caring spirit for the mix of patrons within our group. I would definitely recommend either tour to anyone who wants to get a little 4th grade history/nature lesson sprinkled with the humor from guides who truly have a passion for what they do. Thanks so much for the memories and a reason to return to your State.

Brad Mateer

We took the tour of the Rocky Mountains 8 hour tour our tour guide Jed did a great job would highly recommend this tour and this guide. Jed made thia tour very interesting we learned alot about Rocky National park and the areas around . We were picked up a Denver Union Station. Not too much of a down side. You will be pleasantly surprised.

AJ Wamser

Ryan was our tour guide and he certainly made the trip what it was. It was a great afternoon filled with hiking, history, stunning vistas, and beers with new friends. Do this!

Eoin Byrne

Izzy was the perfect tour guide. Super knowledgeable and fun. She really made the group comfortable and interactive.

Emma Butler

If you’ve got an afternoon to spare and want to get a quick taste of the Boulder Flatirons (and Pearl St in Boulder proper), then the Boulder Hike and Beer four hour tour is the way to go! Jed was a fantastic guide, giving us enough historic facts about the area (as we drove from Denver to Boulder) to keep things interesting, but not so much that it was overwhelming. The hike is nice and moderate, giving you a good view of the mountains and surrounding plains — I especially enjoyed Jed teaching us about the useful (and not so useful!) plants we breed along the way. A beer in Boulder was a nice way to finish up the hot afternoon! A++ would Jed again.

Katherine Rook

This was a perfect way to experience Denver and nearby Rocky Mountain National Park. Ty was our guide and he was knowledgeable, kind, courteous and made our trip fantastic!

IsMiseAnthony

Visited Co. in August 2017 and went on the Rocky mountain bus tour. Had a great time. Bus was good size so you could see out of windows. Great tour guide. Would highly recommend for someone visiting the city.

Hervé W

What a fantastic tour! Steve was very informative and made sure everyone was well taken care of. Great views, steady driving in the curvy heights, and a memorable experience.

Tera L

Jed lead such an amazing tour, I didn't expect such a unique experience! We started with the historic town of Lyons, drank from a fresh (filtered) mountain spring, walked out on to frozen Lilly Lake, crossed a frozen river (you could hear the water rushing beneath your feet!), stopped at some very worthy local diners., & so much more. At Elkins distillery (where they make whiskey using local spring water!), we watched the bartender smoke cherry wood in front of us before preparing their signature house smoked cherry whiskey. Colorado Cherry Co will ruin all other pastries for you, they're literally that good. We were lucky enough to see bighorn sheep, whitetail deer, & numbers elk herds. Jed has a magpie friend (Marcos, that lives near one of the scenic points) who will literally land on his outstreched hand, very neat. The most memorable part will be Jed's delivery. He talks about very unique park information, history, town history, agriculture, wildlife, current events, culture, & so much more that you probably never even thought of. His passion for this area of expertise shows through and it is very much appreciated. The tour wasn't boring, dull, or lecture-like. He didn't drone, he even made jokes. And I think "Operation Pothole" should be a legitimized bill. 10/10 enjoyed this adventure.

Clayton Loback

Great time, Gentry did an awsome job explaining Colorado’s past and recent history. Very helpful with recommendations, in fact we just finished dinner at the Appaloosa Cafe downtown a spot she recommended that has local meats and brews. I would recommend this tour for anyone that can spare 4 hours and get outside of downtown.

Andrew Dang

I personally don't travel much so I didn't expect much when my friend booked it. I ended up really liking it and would highly recommend it to people close to me. If you haven't seen the mountains before and would like a friendly knowledgeable guide to show you the sights, then this tour is for you. CO is really a sight to behold. Bring your winter gear just in case and have a blast.

George-Thomas Pugh

My wife and I had a fantastic experience on the Rocky Mountain National Park tour. Our tour guide, Jed, was absolutely amazing. His knowledge and expertise of Colorado and the great outdoors is unsurpassed by any tour guide I have ever met. His familiarity with the immediate area made the trip a real special experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone (and have already recommended it to several people.)

Alok Vimawala

We loved our Rocky Mountain National Park tour with Aspire Tours. The day started out with a transportation mixup and we had to wait a while at the Boulder pickup spot for another van to come pick us up. However, the rest of the day more than made up for the mixup in the morning. Our tour guide, Kyle, ws great. He was fun and very knowledgeable about the area. The tour company paid for our drinks at Elkins Distillery to make up for the transportation snafu in the morning, something we had not expected and were absolutely delighted by! Kyle also went out of his way to make sure we got to see some elk in Estes Park. Overall I highly recommend Aspire Tours. Their staff are knowledgeable, the tours are fun, and provide amazing customer service.

Christine Aykac

From booking the tour to spending a day to the aftermath of communications everything went very well with the Aspire team. First, recommend the tour to everyone, a great way to experience the Rocky Mountains. Our driver, Philip was a great guide; he made the trip very enjoyable, informative and pleasant. Kristen went above and beyond to find and then send my gloves to me, Toronto. Thanks all!

Jean-Luc Lachance

I bought the Rocky Mountain Tour from Aspire Tours during my last trio to Denver. And I want to share you my review below: Gentry is a wonderful guide, her knowledge of this area is impressive! I got some wonderful pictures! She also gave me/us information on Denver and on the local history and it was very informative and fun. At the end, she gave us great recommendations for places to go and eat in the Denver area! Highly recommend Gentry and this 4 hours tour of the Rockies!

Yvonne J.

Four Hours in the Foothills. I took the half day tour to the foothills with Viator. You will get a taste of what the foothills has to offer. We visited Red Rocks, Lookout Mts, Buffalo Bill gravesite, a drive along Lariat Loop to the town of Golden for shopping or a meal. Along the drive we saw deer and elk. Our driver, Mike, was profession, friendly, and knowledgeable. He had lots of informative tidbits. If you want a deep explore this might not be the tour for you. I enjoyed the quick getaway.

Minal Batavia

Had a real fun time. The guides Jed and Elsa were great with their funny jokes and very knowledgeable. Went for two consecutive days with them

Michelle Ameen

I was spending a couple of days in Denver by myself while waiting for friends to get into town. One of those days happened to be my birthday. I really wanted to go hiking (but, not alone), so I thought I would book the hiking tour from 8 am - 4 pm. Mel was our tour guide and she was fantastic! Not only did our group get along super well but, Mel was super well versed in a variety of history and geography related topics. The original trail we were supposed to hike was closed and she improvised quickly, taking us on another awesome hike instead. We got to see a waterfall and lots of beautiful scenery! If you don't mind exercising and want to hike while visiting Colorado, I highly recommend this tour!

hardtothinkofaname

this tour was amazing. so much fun. our tour guide Jed was super knowledgeable about the park and it's ecosystem. would book with these guys again. We were staying in Estes Park and the tour picked us up on the way into the national Park which was very convenient. we did the full day tour into the national Park.

I had a fantastic time! Our tour guide Eren is a very knowledgeable guy. He picked us up on time at Union station and managed the time perfectly. He gave lots of great information about the places we stopped. He was very helpful and professional, ensuring we enjoyed our time. Also, he gave many incredible suggestions about places to visit in Denver. I'll indeed suggest this tour to my friends, and I can't wait to revisit Denver and go to more places with Aspire Tours.

Ryan Ghassemi

This was a last second booking and it ended up being the best thing we did while we were in Denver. Please do yourself a favor and go book a tour with Aspire. Not only are they more affordable than other tour companies, but their guides are cool and very informative. Best tour I've gone on, and if I was in Denver for one more day I would've done another tour. I recommend the Red Rock Amphitheater tour. My tour guide was also fantastic.

Raghunath Mysore

Michael is a super guide with an amazing knowledge about Rocky Mountains. A day well spent in learning and appreciating the natural environment near Denver. Thanks Michael ; you made our tour pretty educative and interesting. Good planning and management from Aspire Tours !!

賴曼菁

Our tour to the Rocky Mountain National Park was amazing!!! Our guide Nick is a very nice guy, but informative and knowledgeable at the same time. He also told us lots of fun facts about Colorado. He took care of all of us very well and responded quickly to our needs. He is a superb guide; we were so surprised when he said he had just started this career not too long ago because he is very professional. We have a memorable trip today and will surely choose Aspire Tour again if we have chance! Bruce and Maggie

Michelle Burrell

We were fortunate to have not one but TWO, 1/2-day tours with Nick. He is personable, knowledgeable and kind. Our first tour was the Rocky Mountain Escape and our second tour was the Denver Foothills Explorer. We were picked up and dropped off on schedule. We felt safe in their vehicles and with their driver. To us, it was the best way to see and experience nature without stressing about the drive including traffic!

Abhishek Bhunia

We wanted to see as much of the Rockies as possible without having to drive and at the same time learn about the area. This trip turned out to be better than what we thought. It was a warm sunny day consistently on the upper 60s, perfect for taking pictures. Our guide Mike was amazing! He is well versed with the history, wildlife, geography and life in the Rockies and full with local/sightseeing tips.

F REED

This was a wonderful half day tour! Our guide, Jed, was extremely knowledgeable and light hearted. He was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about Denver as well as all of the additional sites and areas that we passed through!. Jed even provided tips for those of us who weren't from the area about adjusting to the altitude which made me personally feel more comfortable. I was able to get some wonderful pictures and some nice souvenirs along the way. I would highly recommend this tour. Perfect for a half day!

Shanna Carpenter

LOVED our Denver Foothills Explorer tour today. Our tour guide Jed was super knowledgeable and fun! We saw a lot of spectacular views. We also heard a lot of History, as well as fun facts, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely book with them again!!

Sean Murphy

Amazing tour! Highly recommend! Girlfriend and I were exploring Denver without car, Aspire provided a great value to see many scenic spots around the Rockies. Mitchell our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and very entertaining for the whole group. Group consisted of 10 with a wide range of young and old, we all had a blast! Vehicle was spacious, lunch was tasty and views were incredible!

Vivian Lam

The Denver: Rocky Mountain Half Day Explorer Trip was an awesome, quick tour of the Rockies. I met up with my best friend one weekend to explore Denver, CO for the first time. We wanted to do all things Denver so going to the mountains was a must. To be honest I wasn't really sure what I signed us up for, we just knew we wanted to get to the Rockies. This was a great tour because it was a good teaser of the Rockies with amazing viewpoints. My favorite was spending time at the Red Rock Amphitheatre. I had a blast climbing all the stairs and taking in the grandness of it all. The stadium must be amazing during a concert. I can not wait to come back. I would definitely tour with Aspire Tour again. I highly recommend them for anyone's next adventure. Our guide was Will and he was very refreshing. He had some knowledge of the history, good enthusiasm, and he was a good driver.

Griselda Michalec

Jed was such an amazing guide on our Brews and View tour. It was absolutely worth it! We met great couples, bonded, and had such a great time. If we are ever in Denver again, we are definitely requesting Jed as our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, keeps things fun and lively, and showed us a great time!!

Kevin Foss

Did the Foothills Tour and thoroughly enjoyed it! The ride was comfortable and the tour guide knowledgeable and took care to keep to schedule. Red Rocks was snowy and windy, but that's nature in December. Things were clearer at Lookout Mountain and the views were great. We had plenty of time in Golden for some shopping and a snack. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

Sarah Pavan

I can’t say enough how much I loved this tour! I did the Rocky Mountain National Park tour with Nick, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about the park and gave us plenty of time to explore at stops. The weather was great, and we got some terrific photos! And pick of all luck, we saw an elk on the way out - a great cap to a truly unforgettable experience. Thank you Nick and Aspire Tours!

Diane M (DeedeeM)

We did the Rocky Mountain National Tour. Our tour guide Shay aka Shay Butter was phenomenal. She was very personable and possessed a great wealth of knowledge about the Denver area leading up to the Rocky Mountains. She drove our van safely and responsibly. She practiced good safety measures checking on all of the guests reminding us to drink water since we were going to higher elevation. Our group was very social and we took so many beautiful photos at so many beautiful sites. We enjoyed every moment of the tour. Oh and the lunch provided was great too! We had some fresh turkey sandwiches and chips. Although we didn't get to see any elk, we saw lots of deer and a few chipmunks. The sites were all so breathtaking which really made it all so worth it. It's just unreal how majestic the views were. This tour was totally worth every penny. Would totally do it again.

Ranithia

Ryan was my tour guide May 16, 2022 for the Rocky Mountains and was great! Very knowledgeable man and excellent tour guide. Honestly felt like we had the best guide. He kept conversations and took time to know his group. This was a full day tour and he made sure to show us some eyegasm spots. He went way above and beyond in his role as a tour guide! You will not be disappointed with this company. Enjoy

Carl Lemaine

I booked the Rocky Mountain National Park tour for my wife's birthday. It was one of the best tours ever, not only because of the gorgeous scenery, but we had the best tour guide - Josh. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. We highly recommend Aspire Tours Josh as your tour guide. Carl

Melissa John

This tour was money well spent! Firstly, I appreciate that safety first guided all of Mike's conversation throughout the day. He is an excellent guide. He made sure everyone had an opportunity to be properly equipped before we headed up the trail. More importantly, he allowed everyone to hike at their own comfortable pace while getting the group together and under a watchful eye. I totally appreciated that! He even made sure we got to see elk before the trip was over. The full day tour and views from the park were worth every penny!

Sae-Jin Esther Lee

I went on the Rocky Mountain Gem Lake hike and our guide, Josh was really friendly. He waited and checked on everyone and answers questions smoothly. Definitely give this place a go!

A Carlisle

This was a great tour of Rocky Mountain National Park with our guide Steve. He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and a great all around guide. The tour van was comfortable and clean. Steve did everything to make our drive pleasant and comfortable. We did this tour because we could not get a timed pass into the park and it far exceeded our expectations. Well worth the money and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was nice to not have to have one of us driving. The scenery in the park was beautiful and Steve even offered at every spot to take pictures of all of the individual parties. A good sandwich lunch was provided. All around 5 stars.

Alexis LaVacca

We had an incredible tour today with Clyde. He helped to exceed all of our expectations and was so knowledgeable Amazing day! Thanks Clyde!

Shannyn Warrick

We picked this tour as a last minute thing to do over breakfast and showed up at 1pm for what would be the best part of our trip! Our guide, Aaron, was very well educated and passionate about the information he was sharing with us. He introduced us to the most beautiful scenery while sharing the history of the land we were exploring. We originally planned on just driving around and exploring the area on our own but were both so glad that we chose this tour. On the drive back, Aaron gave the group the longest list of recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the Denver area. We did our best to try everything we could fit in a weekend! Our tour with Aspire was a fantastic experience that we will definitely recommend!

Frank Kuo

Knowledgeable and passionate guide. Well managed schedule. Great points of interest plus excellent explanation, plus occasional bonus such as wildlife sighting. Highly recommended!

Brian Murphy

Amazing experience! We did the all day hiking tour in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Philip, our tour guide, was friendly, experienced, and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!

Hannah Billings

First time traveling solo and I took a leap of faith and booked this tour.. and I can without a doubt say it was one of the BEST decisions ever!!! Kyle was absolutely phenomenal. He talked to the group the entire time, sharing interesting facts and knowledge, personal experiences while exploring Colorado, and making everyone feel so comfortable. The tour itself covers so many amazing scenic spots and is a must if you are wanting to experience the beauty of Denver! We had plenty of time at each spot to explore and roam before we started the trek to the next spot. So grateful I booked this tour on a whim for my one day in Denver, and can’t wait to come back and book another Aspire tour!

Anita Li

Took a 7 hr Scenic Mount Evans Tour from Denver with our tour guide Kyle. Kyle is very knowledgeable shared a lot tips with us and helped us took some beautiful pictures. Would definitely recommend this tour with Kyle.

Anita Rodgers

Fantastic tour and tour guide! Informative information about the Denver area and the Rocky Mountains. And the tour can be slightly catered to the groups wants! Want lunch by a lake or a waterfall? The choice is up to you! Our guide Eddie was great! Willing to make stops long the way, and kept the conversation going! If you are looking for a beautiful view, information, and a good time, I highly recommend Aspire and Eddie!

Aubrey Jenkinson

If you are looking for something that isn’t too strenuous or too much hiking, the 4 hour tour is great! Ty was our tour guide and he was awesome! Very knowledgeable about all of the areas we stopped and had us all introduce ourselves so we could be more familiar with each other!

Ana Henning

I stumbled across Aspire Tours after booking with another company who ended up canceling our tour less than 1 week prior to the scheduled date. Let me tell you I am so glad that they did because this experience was AMAZING. I do not have enough good and positive things to say about our guide Aaron. Not only is he great at what he does but you can see and hear the passion that he has for his job. He was filled with so much knowledge and made the trip both interesting and fun. At the end of the tour he even gave tons of suggestions of places to visit and eat. Thank you so much Aaron!

Anna Marhero

We want to say a Big Thank You to Ryan, our best tour guide. We joined the trip to Breckinridge and Ryan was our tour guide. Ryan was so friendly, nice and very professional. He introduced and told us the history about the city and uniqueness of the town. He took care of his clients very well and very dedicated to his job. We had a good trip with Ryan. I strongly and highly recommend to join the Aspire Tour when you were in Denver. You won’t get disappointed.

Stephen Disrud

Kyle, our tour guide, had lots of insights about the area, which really helped us make the most out of our day. We got to see beautiful areas we wouldn't have found on our own.

Ben Terry

Great tour of Estes Park! Troy was a great guide and had an impeccable playlist for the entire 8-hour journey. We will never forget the views we saw on this trip.

Austin White

We did the 8 hour hiking tour for Rocky Mountain National Park. We had a great experience on the tour. The hike was somewhat challenging, but not intense. The views of the park were incredible. Our tour guide Wyn was very nice and took care of all the group's needs. He was a good driver and told stories about Denver and Boulder and other places along the way, which kept us engaged. During the hike, he talked to each of us and got to know us. We booked the hike so we could hike in a group setting with a leader who knew what he was doing, and our tour guide was very experienced. Our only complaint was that he used some bad language, and we also got back to Denver late. Otherwise, we were very satisfied with the trip.

Kiara A. Collazo

Very great tour to the Rocky Mountains! Steve was very knowledgeable, attentive and caring.

Amanda Weiss

Jed was our guide and we had so much fun! He was very knowledgeable and witty. We enjoyed the views and commentary and learned a ton about the area.

Navoda Perera

We took the Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Mount Evans tour and it was amazing. Well worth the buck. Kyle did an amazong job as our tour guide. He is well informed on many things ranging from history, wildlife, geography to some pretty good recommendations for Denver. He seemed pretty experienced driving in the narrow mountain roads up to Mount Evans, and played some good mountain jams. We took the tour on our second day in Denver. Would definitely recommend it and hope we could do a Rocky Mountain National park tour with Kyle in the future.

Angie Nelson

Elsa was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and super friendly. I recommend Aspire tours. We will definitely book another tour through them.

Amy Sachnoff

We just want to say what a great job Kyle Harris did on our tour of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods on July 27. He was very informative and had a great personality. If you want a great tour, choose Kyle. Best, Amy and Scott Sachnoff and The Kandels.

Jenny Fisher

This tour was great! Everything was easy from booking, the meeting spot & the drive in the van. Our tour guide Jed was a great!! He was informative, kind & funny! I only had a short time to get out of the city & this tour was a wonderful way to do it! It included a lovely walk in clear creek, a short stop in a cute town & peaceful moments at echo lake! I would recommend it to anybody!

CFII

I thoroughly enjoyed the Half-Day Rocky Mountain Escape tour. Our guide was great! Very knowledgeable of the local area and kept everyone engaged with fun facts throughout the tour. Pickup and drop-off was easy at the Union Station location. The way the tour progressed from canyons to mining town to the high elevation of Echo Lake within a 4-hour window was perfect. When you stop at Idaho Springs, hit the Frothy Cup coffee shop first as the lines tend to get long early on. I would definitely use Aspire tours again when visiting Denver.

Parimal Patel

We had a awesome time on the RMNP tour with our guide Zach. You can tell Zach loves what he does and that comes through during the tour with details pointed out on each of the towns/cities we passes through, flowers, and wildlife. Time well spent, awesome way to see RMNP.

Dawn Smith

Amazing day in Rocky Mountains with Mike as our tour guide. I highly recommend the 8 hour tour of the park & our guide! It was a beautiful day, scenery was breathtaking & our guide was very informative, accommodating, personable & just fun! He was very professional & knowledgeable too! And made sure everyone was having a good time! It was a fantastic day! The day was planned out perfect, the van was comfortable, & good food too!! It’s a must do in Denver with Aspire tours!!

Kathy Keith

Elsa was amazing and very knowledgeable of Colorado. I so so enjoyed it!!!! Highly recommend Elsa! She was adorable!!

Juhi Chaudhari

Went to Rocky Mtn NP with an older relative but had no trouble experiencing the park at all. Ty was a fantastic guide and took great care of us. He even showed us an extra spot after completing the planned spots on the trip. Highly recommend!

Nicole Schmitt

We came from Virginia with 6 in our party. We met up with Troy out of Boulder. Our family considered this tour the highlight of our whole vacation and we did pretty much everything from a concert at Red Rocks, Royal Gorge, the Gardens etc…. Troy could not have been any better and he made our Rocky Mountain experience memorable and fun. He is very knowledgeable on all accounts and went out of his way to customize our trip to our desires. Our son turned 18 on that day and he even bought him a small souvenir at the gift shop for his bday. In between conversations he had a great playlist going to include John Denver’s Rocky Mountain High right as we were entering the park. He said that was a coincidence lol but we all enjoyed that immensely. Very recommended and worth every penny.

Josephine Lev

Jem was our guide and we truly had such an amazing experience with him and our group on the beer hike. My husband and I arrived to meet 4 others for the hike and we all got to know each other and enjoyed talking so much that we actually stayed in Boulder and left via bus later on instead of driving back with Jem. Jem truly is exceptional at his job, he clearly knows a lot and loves what he does. Would recommend Aspire Tours to all! 5 Stars for Jem.

mike furst

Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. Austin, our tour guide, was great. You can't do much about the weather as the higher elevations were unreachable due to falling snow. He was knowledgable and understanding. Would do it again with Austing in better weather. Photo taken by our tour guide, Austin.

Robin Dobbins

All I can say is what an amazing tour this was. Time flew by with one Majestic view after another! Lindsey was our tour guide, and she was great! Very knowledgeable and quite experienced. I also enjoyed her laid back personality as it went perfectly with the whole experience. If you are on the fence, I would say this is the only way to see Rocky Mountain Park. Having a knowledgeable tour guide, knowing exactly where to go for all the good spots, was invaluable. I can't have imagined trying to do this park on my own, it would have been stressful, unable to sit back and enjoy the view. I highly recommend this company, you won't regret it!

Christopher Blue

My wife and I booked the Denver Rocky Mountain National Park tour and we absolutely loved it! Aaron, and his friend (a naturalist by trade) were absolutely fantastic tour guides!! They were patient, accommodating, extremely knowledgeable, and they made sure we got the best photos and views we possibly could during our tour! The van was comfortable, the stops we made were all meaningful, and we got to meet some fantastic people along the way. The information they gave was valuable to the experience and I learned quite a bit. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see just how majestic the mountains of Denver are. Won't be forgetting this experience anytime soon!

Damaris Nunez

Gentry was a great tour guide!! She was so nice and gave great info. Definitely do the tour with her if your in Denver

Caleb Nelson

Elsa was such an awesome guide! She made great conversation with all of the guests of the tour and was very knowledgeable about the trails we were on. Elsa was super fun and gave great recommendations for things to do after the tour too! Thanks Elsa!

Dana Williams

I came to Denver for the first time for a 4 day weekend and this was the second tour I took with Aspire this weekend. Both tour guides were absolutely amazing! Aspire, keep up the great work! I did the Red Rocks and Mount Evans tour with Jed. He was absolutely wonderful. Super knowledgeable and fun to be with. He is a man of many hats, which I found fascinating! We gotta see tons of goats and marmots on the tour. Despite the freezing cold and occasional rain/sleet up on Mount Evans, the views were spectacular. Thank you Jed for helping make my first trip to Denver a memorable one. I will definitely be back!

Savannah Tarrant

Review of Rocky Mountain NP tour: Nick was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and fun! Rocky Mountain was beautiful and a must see. Pick up from union station was easy.

Vanesa Henderson

Ty was an excellent tour guide! The trip was amazing and so were the views. We saw some elk! I highly recommened them for an amzing tour.

abir djendou

Aaron was our guide, he was just awesome not only funny but very knowledgeable listing all fun facts related to our tour in the Rocky Mountain national park and Denver in General, but also addressing all our questions and needs, we were spoiled with beautiful weather and company, I already recommended this tour to all my friends and family, thank you again for not disappointing and offering a beyond expectation experience.

Brayden K.

Elsa was spectacular, kind, and fun. Thanks for taking care of our group. :)

Ali S.

We went on the 8 hour hiking tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. We were picked up timely at Union Station. Our Tour guide Dylan was fantastic. He had a wealth of knowledge and a great positive personality which made the hike great. We had a group of 6 which was a perfect size. Lunch was delicious. They did make one stop on the way out to the park so we were able to get a snack and coffee. This is a tour I'd highly recommend and it was worth every penny!!

Keith Falvey

Had a wonderful time on our half-day Rocky Mountains trip with Izzy. Izzy was wonderful and knew so much about the area, nature and really made our trip me memorable.

Emily D

Fantastic day in Rocky Mountain National Park with guide Aaron!

Susan Mathieson

An absolutely amazing tour! Ty, our tour guide, took my family and I to the most incredible spots in RMNP. Definitely something to experience if you haven’t been!

Steve Szalecki

Book with Aspire Tours! We did 2 tours in Colorado and each one was FABULOUS!! The first was full day trip, rocky mountain tour with Gentry, we had the best day ever! And the second, was with Aaron on the 1/2 day Red Rock tour - amazing!! Both tours were so fun, tour guides were very well educated, funny, nice and made sure we were comfortable and hydrated. We wish the Red Rock tour was a full day instead of a half because it was amazing and so much to see. Absolutely book these tours and be ready for the best time ever around Denver! Many thanks for making our trip so memorable. Best, Liz

sam winter

Izzy is the coolest guide ever. Amazing and fun experience. It was the highlight of our trip to Denver.

Cara R

Elsa was a fantastic tour guide! We saw incredible mountain views and had an awesome morning! Highly recommended!!

Angela Webb

Izzy is the BEST! She's full of knowledge, stats, history and recommendations. I loved hearing about her personal CO experience!

Nita LaNee'

Bralee....If I remember correctly was amazing!! She was very knowledgeable, very sweet and pleasant to be around. We really enjoyed our day with her. Awesome job Aspire Tours and Bralee.

Kristin McSorley

We had the pleasure of going on our first (and definitely not our last) hiking experience yesterday. Ryan was our guide... he was knowledgeable, considerate and clearly passionate about all things Colorado, Denver and nature. He was as authentic and wonderful. We had a great ride to Estes Park, amazing and scenic hike and tons of advice on places to see while in Denver. We absolutely loved our day. Without hesitation, make this trip part of your Colorado experience.

Steve Baumgartner

Great tour with a super guide. Jed was amazing and highly recommend. His laid back style coupled with his extensive knowledge of so many things made for a spectacular day. Highly recommend and ask for Jed.

Shari Risi

I had a great experience with Aspire Tours. I had to change the tour I had chosen because there weren't enough participants and they were very helpful and kind in this. At no extra cost they let me choose another tour. I really appreciated the support I received! I did the Breckenridge tour with Mike who was an amazing guide. He is first of all a skilled driver, very caring, patient and kind. In addition, he told us many curiosities along the way, which made the tour even more interesting. Tour is well organized, clean and follows Covid guidelines for a unique and safe experience. Highly recommended!!

Cody Colding

Had a wonderful time with Kyle on our Breckenridge tour. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure we knew what we were doing and where and when so no one got lost and the tour was very smooth! My husband has never seen snow and this trip was about making that happen. He did such a great job my husband and I were very satisfied!!! Thanks Kyle for such a magical experience. Side note: all Covid guidelines are followed very closely. We felt very safe and comfortable.

Katherine Curry

Loved the tour and the ice capped mountains and landscaping was beautiful. The tour guy dillion was very knowledgeable.

Britny Hughes

My guide Aaron was knowledgeable and quick with facts! This was such a great way to see some amazing sights, explore the scenery without having to drive it and learn some things I definitely didn’t know! He also gave great recommendations for after the tour. I had a great time and would do it again!!

Amy McMillan

Jed was our tour guide today. He was very knowledgeable with the history of Denver and all of our stops. He made adjustments to the plan due to traffic, but still made sure we had plenty of time at every stop so we didn’t feel rushed. I would definitely recommend the Aspire Tours for a day of fun and history to anyone looking to wnjoy Colorado without having to drive themselves.

Tori Netzer

The Foothills tour was fantastic despite odds against us. We did the tour on a day where the winds were epic. It changed up some plans, but Michael was ON POINT. He is professional, courteous, fun...what a fantastic experience. Perfect way to finish our Denver vacation.

Kristy Reno

Had an amazing red rock and foot hills tour with Jed! He was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job navigating through the snow. We had an amazing time and next trip to Denver we will definitely book another tour with this company, loved it!

la Rufus Mitchell

Amazing tour! This was the perfect blend of riding, walking and hiking. While the landscape was created by God, Adam did an amazing job of personalizing the tour, making it feel as though it was created for you and your group. Adam, was very knowledgeable, patient, kind, friendly and went over and beyond a typical tour guide. Adam, is not a guide, but an excursion advisor for all levels of tourists. Travel tip: book a tour with Aspire and ask for Adam to be excursion advisor.

Sangeeta Joglekar

I had a great experience at Rocky Mountain National Park. Adam was really good tour guide with lots of information. We got to see big horn sheep, elks and deer. Since it was extremely cold weather with snow on the road, I was glad that I booked a tour rather than driving myself. Overall, it was a really memorable experience.

Michelle Aviles

Steve was our tour guide and we had an awesome time! This was our first time visiting Denver and this tour is perfect for anyone who wants to check out some great scenic view but not hardcore hike. We may try one of the hiking tours next time. The bus ride felt safe as there were only a few other couples and we all wore masks the whole time. Steve had water for us and provided lots of interesting history about each location and Denver/Colorado in general. The music on the tour van was also awesome! Would highly recommend for a first time Denver tour seeker. --Michelle & Will from Florida

Casey Keown

We had an awesome time with Jed. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating to everyone on the tour. There was adequate time at each stop, and we got to see a lot of wildlife. This is something that you could plan out on your own and save money, but the knowledge of the tour guide made it worth it. I would recommend this tour to any first timer in Colorado.

Tom S

Booked a last minute tour to the Rocky Mountain National Park. After booking there was a small error with my pick up location but was quickly resolved by a phone call. Dillon was my tour guide and he was very friendly, knowledgeable about the park, it's roads and even just the nearby towns that we passed by as well. If you have 1 free day in Denver and need something to do I would highly recommend this full day trip to RMNP. Even in the winter with blistering winds it's worth a trip to see the beauty mother nature has to offer.

Kate Brown

Aspire Tours was awesome! My fiancé and I took the Colorado foothills tour with Jed and he did a great job. He was able to answer any questions thrown at him and had a great mix of tour info and letting us explore areas on our own. We would definitely take another tour in the future!

Valentina Pizzo

Our guide, Gentry, has been really really nice and prepared on the rocky national park. She is funny and she told us a lot of interesting stuff. However I would recommend this tour only if you are alone and without a car, since it's a tour on which you spent a lot of time in it. It takes 1h30 to go and come back to the park, and inside the park you walk only at stops. We did like 4 stops of 30 min each where you could walk around a little bit. Lucky, we made picnic in the park, otherwise we would have spent one hour at the restaurant instead of in the park. It was nice, but I just want you to know how it is organised so that you are prepared. No need for hiking shoes. Everything is pretty flat. Moreover the tour did not included the lunch even it should since they told us so during the reservation. That was unexpected. I recommend the tour for Gentry and the views.

Jarrett Jones

We booked this tour through Amtrak vacations. I called Aspire directly several times with questions about our tour. Each time the person who answered was friendly and helpful. Our tour guide was Ryan and he was awesome. Very friendly and informative about the area, it’s history, local wildlife, etc. We got to see several awesome animal sightings along our tour of the Rocky Mountains National park. We even got to see a herd of Elk passing along side the road leaving the park. It’s was an amazing sight. Ryan even dropped us off at our hotel saving us the trouble of calling a cab from union station. We would highly recommend this tour company.

Carlos Espin

The beers and brews tour was worth the time. Just so you know, the views are mostly done in the comfy passager van on the way up the mountain to the bars. You won't be hiking at all, but you will def have a chance to try many different beers. I would definitely go on this experience again without hesitation. Thank you Mike for being a great tour guide and driving us around to some amazing bars.

Yesrab Khanam

100% worth taking the tour..Everything about the Rocky mountains was amazing. Our tour guide MIKE H was the best! He was very informative, super nice, funny and knowledgeable about each and every destination. My Husband and I highly recommend taking a tour with Aspire Tour. Will be coming back for another tour!! Colorado is beautiful!!!

Robert Musgrove

We booked the All Day Rocky Mountain tour and were so impressed with our tour guide, Jenna!!! She was very knowledgeable about the area and made the tour so fun and interesting!!! There are many stops and you get to go to a variety of locations all the way up to over 12,100 ft elevation. The scenery was incredible and if you are lucky you will see some wildlife as well. Highly recommend this tour - especially if you are concerned about too much walking/hiking. It was a perfect way to see the Rocky Mountains!!!

Flora Gallina-Jones (Frankie)

I had an amazing time with tour guide Aaron and a small group of other hikers. Aaron was full of knowledge about the history and ecology of the region, and guided us through an enchanting hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. We had the privilege of seeing a bunch of wildlife and some of the first real snowfall in the park this season. So glad I joined this hike tour!

Dana Vermilyea

Mike H. was an outstanding hike guide! He shared bits and pieces of history and interesting facts all along the hike. He also showed a genuine interest in every single person in the group and kept just the right amount of conversation going. The Turkey sandwiches were yummy and there was plenty of water. The hike itself was breathtaking and just the right amount of time. I would highly recommend this! Especially if you have never been to the Colorado Rockies before.

Susan Hutchins

This was a great day hike! I was in Boulder for a wedding and just didn't have time to research day hikes and be bothered with the planning that comes with getting into the park. Aspire tours was quick to respond, easy to work with and did all the work. Our guide Mike was friendly, well informed, kept to the schedule and created a relaxed atmosphere for the day. I would highly recommend this company for your outdoor adventure needs.

Leon Kennedy

We had Steve as our tour guide. He was very polite and informative of the history within the Bear Creek mountains of Colorado. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone who is looking to see a little more touristy side of Colorado and I will be definitely using Aspire tours again!

Dan Popp

We had a wonderful time on our Rocky Mountain Tour. Our guide, Gentry was exceptional. She had great knowledge which she shared throughout the tour, and had a great deal of flexibility to tailor our schedule according to the time allowed. We would recommend this tour to anyone! Great Value!

Rob Ryland

We had such a great experience with Jed as our guide today on our half-day tour of the mountains. He brings an encyclopedic knowledge of Colorado history, geology and wildlife which greatly enhances the experience. He also provided great tips on local breweries and restaurants. Would definitely book with him again.

Ash Goel

We had a wonderful time going on a Mt Evans and Red Rock Amphitheater tour with Aspire. Ryan, our tour guide was absolutely amazing. We did a private tour, so we had the entire 14 passenger van to ourselves and throughout the tour Ryan kept us engaged, telling us anecdotes as well as giving us history of the land. He even accompanied us on a short hike at the top of Mt Evans and took amazing pics for us. He is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell that he enjoys what he does. We contacted Aspire at the last minute and they were able to get us in. We totally recommend this company as well as Ryan!!

Kyle was our tour guide and the whole experience was amazing. Our hike through Estes national park was great! We saw breathtaking views while learning history. We enjoyed our lunch by the beautiful lake! My wife and I couldn’t have asked for more for our anniversary trip.

AJ Jax

Aaron was an awesome tour guide! It felt like a long lost buddy showing me around his favorite place! He was so attentive and helpful. There were times the altitude was a bit taxing on me and he made sure we were all hydrated and safe. I got to see and play in snow for the first time in my life! The views were so picturesque. This tour made my trip unforgettable!

Paige Ratterman

I signed up for the foothills half day tour while on a business trip to Denver. I would highly recommend this experience if you are looking for great information, beautiful views and great bang for your buck. I learned a ton of information from our awesome tour guide, Dylan! It was so much fun and def worth checking out. Highly recommend.

Jason McCarty

We spent a little over four hours traveling in and around Golden, Colorado as well as ascending Mount Lookout. The tour is appropriately titles Brews and Views. We visited 3 breweries. One seemed convenient, one was certainly historical, and the third was a micro-brewery with high standards. We had to choose between food and scenic drive; however, I had planned ahead an eaten lunch prior to departure and that helped our group pick the scenic drive, which was definitely worth it. Phil was our tour guide, and he offered beer notes, historical notes, and landmark notes. All in all it was a pretty chill afternoon, and I would not mind doing it again if there were different brewery options.

Jithin Kurian

Aspire Tours is amazing. They are very accommodating. Jed was an amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and really taught us a lot. He just didn’t take us to places. He really talked us through each site and told us even the geological features of each site. Jed is a down to earth guy. We have been on many tours, but definitely liked Jed and Aspire tours the best. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! And ask for Jed. Aspire Tours and Jed definitely made this vacation really worth it.

Mary Falagoy

Ryan was our guide. Before we started our tour he gave us a brief summary of where we will be going and what to expect on this tour. He was very informative and friendly to everyone. He made us feel welcome. His knowledge of wildlife, mountains and history of Denver was on point. The lunch provided was delicious and it was more then enough. We were able to see some species of wildlife. The highlight of this tour was the beautiful mountains and nature. By the way, guide will give you time to take pictures, check out visitor gift shops, and bathroom breaks. I would highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Denver. You won't regret it 😀

Tamecka Robinson

We were visiting from Louisiana and wanted to do a tour of the mountains, so we found Aspire Tours. Aaron was a wonderful tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, fun, and made the tour enjoyable. He was willingly to go above and beyond to make us as tourists happy!! Aaron recommended a lot of good places for us to try and enjoy!! We would do the Aspire Tour again because of Aaron! Keep up the great work Aaron!!!

Serin Zachariah

Aspire tour is the way to go! I’m very satisfied with how the tours went. I was in a group of 13 people and our tour guide was excellent! Shout out to Jed for being extremely patient, knowledgeable and easy going! It was our first time visiting Colorado and Jed truly made it memorable! We did three days worth of tours through Aspire and Jed was our tour guide for two of the days. He certainly exceeded our expectations of these tours. He treated us very well. He went above and beyond when taking pictures too! A great responsible guy and kept our safety first and foremost. Thank you Aspire Tours and Jed for making our Colorado trip a success!

Sandy Schneider

Great tour of the Rocky Mountains. Kyle knows what to look for and understands his passengers. Made sure we were well hydrated throughout the day. Took us to great locations with amazing views. He has superior supporting background information to make the tour enjoyable and fact filled. Glad we got a chance to see Big Steve.

Cherie Leischner

The tour we chose was Hike & a beer with a local guide. We wanted the opportunity to hike for a couple of miles. Including a local brewery stop at the end made this a perfect choice. We were picked up and dropped off in Denver at Union Station. Our hike was in Boulder's Flatirons mountains. When you pick this tour ask for Kyle!! You will end the tour feeling like you've made a friend. He makes you feel comfortable from the start sharing his own background and knowledge of the Denver area. He picked a great trail for the hike with beautiful views and was accommodating and encouraging to all in the group and you can't beat his van playlist.

NICOLE ROONEY

Aaron did an incredible job on taking us on the half day Denver: Rocky Mountain escape tour. He was very knowledgeable in the history and development of the area as well as the ecosystems and forests we passed through on our way to the top. Would very much recommend this tour and Aaron to anyone visiting Denver.

K Guerin

We had a private tour with Will yesterday and it was amazing! He curated it to our specific needs. Will was very knowledgeable about the animals, trails, surrounding areas and more. We learned so much and felt super comfortable the entire day with him. We had a beautiful hike and stopped half way for lunch in the park. Would DEFINITELY recommend and would absolutely do this again. Ask for Will, he will not disappoint!!

Michael Finkelstein

We took Mountain Evans tour today September 28. Our guide Kyle Harris was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, funny and professional. He gave us a lot of useful tips about Colorado state overall, and Denver in particular. We will definitely use Aspire Tours as company in future visits to Colorado. We will recommend Kyle as as tour guide to our friends.

Ruel Smith

I wasn't sure when I purchased this tour. Seemed pricey... Man was I wrong. It was worth every penny. Kyle took us to a lot of destinations, and was polite, fun, and informative. Great sense of humor. It was an all day trip and never boring. The Rockies were beautiful and we had fun looking for elk and mule deer. We didn't see Big Steve up close, but we came close to a huge male elk. It was awesome. I really enjoyed the tour.

Gabby Fernandez

Our tour guide was super friendly, accomodating & knowledgeable (Michael). He was very professional and helpful. The route and stops that were part of the trip were really beautiful and appropriate. He even took our pictures without wauting for us to ask him. I recommended this tour to other vacationers we met yesterday and they are doing this tour tomorrow. Thank u for setting this up and giving us a great experience!

Jake

The Rocky Mountain National Park Tour was excellent. Our awesome tour guide, Gabor, was very engaging, informative, and humorous. The scenery is breathtaking, I mean like perspective altering, life changing type of experience. The vans were prompt and the timing was perfect so that you spend just enough time to not get restless or bored. Worth every penny and all five stars. Thank you so much for making this the best trip ever.

Susan Clemente

We had a great time on our Rocky Mountain National Park tour! Lindsey was an excellent guide - she was friendly, knowledgeable, and took us to some great spots. The tour does involve lots of time in a van (driving from Denver and back, plus the drive through the park), so if you are someone that gets car sick - this might not be the best tour for you. For us, it was perfect as we were picked up right in Denver and driven to the park. We didn't need to worry about the timed entry reservations, renting a car, or anything - Aspire took care of it all! One other suggestion - if you plan to book a tour, I would do it directly through Aspire's website to ensure you are scheduled for the right tour. Overall an excellent experience and I'd recommend Aspire Tours to anyone visiting Denver or the surrounding areas!

Maricela Avalos

Super great tour. Our guide Jed was really welcoming and shared so much knowledge. The ride was never too silent which was great for a sightseeing tour. He shared great information about the Rockies and Colorado’s history as well. Plus he offered some great spots for where to take pictures/grab a bite to eat when we would stop. Thanks Jed!!

Tom Godfrey

My wife and I took the Pike’s Peak, Garden of the God’s, and Manitou Springs private tour. Mike H. was our tour guide. We could have not have had a better experience! Mike H. is a perfect example of what tour guide should be about. He checked all of Maslow’s needs. First he, was very diligent on checking to see if we were safe, comfortable, and if we were in need of a snack, water, or toilet. His SUV was very comfortable at all times. Next he was the most intelligent & interesting guide we have ever experienced (and folks, we have done many). Mike pointed out educational tidbits about the floral, fauna, geological, geographical, and historical items along the way. Mike H is the total package.

Jerryn Poothakary

Easy meet up location (In the front of Union Station if coming from downtown Denver), our tour guide Nick was new and did an excellent job and was also a safe driver! Went to couple towns and did some exploring and eventually went to the Mountains where we did some hiking. Very friendly and professional service, and recommend others to Aspire tours!

Donna McCray

First time to Rocky Mountain National Park and it was well worth it!! Our Guide Jenna was Excellent. She is funny, knowledgeable about the park and surrounding areas of Denver. She absolutely loves her Work and it shows. And excellent at parking the van, lol!! This tour is definitely worth going to for first time and back for second. I definitely will take more tours with Aspire!!

Chad Hurley

Our experience on the Rocky Mountain National Park trip was phenomenal. Lindsey was our guide! Not only did she guide us through all the stops, she guided us on the drive to the park. Her knowledge was incredible on the state of Colorado and having served with the park system, she had so much to share with our group. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and learning about the park and all things Colorado.

Kirsten Blazek

We had the best experience on our tour of the Rocky Mountain National Park with Aspire Tours- Christine was incredibly knowledgeable about the area ,she also communicated really well with us about what we were doing next and was very friendly and helpful. She answered any questions thrown at her with good grace. She is also a VERY good driver and despite climbing up steep mountain roads we felt completely safe in her hands. We would definitely book another tour through Aspire!

jeffrey rosin

We did the Rocky Mountain National Park tour, our guide was Kyle, he was unbelievable! Every aspect of our tour was top shelf! Kyle had the most amazing local knowledge, we saw Francesca the moose, great photo op! And Big Steve the elk of Estes Park, with a very sizable harem😬. This was the perfect end to an epic tour, Kyle went out of his way to ensure we could capture the moment with pictures. If you decide to do this tour, do yourself a favor and request Kyle, you will end up singing his praises too. Thanks Kyle, we will be seeing you in the future.

Liz Zetina

This was a really great first time backpacking experience for me. I had been wanting to visit Colorado & go on an outdoor adventure for quite some time. This trip delivered beautiful scenery, an outdoor adventure, and an opportunity to meet some lovely people (both the guides and the other backpackers). The guides made every effort to keep the trip safe and fun. The trip was well planned and the guides were prepared for the occasional / unexpected circumstances. Our guides provided a lot of information, as well as tips about outdoor recreational activities. In addition they made recommendations about places to visit during the remainder of our stay in Denver. It was very evident that the guides are passionate about what they do! I consider myself a moderately experienced hiker, however with a pack and the starting elevation/ elevation gain.. this trip provided a good challenge for me. I wanted to remain active during my visit to Colorado, and I was definitely able to do that. It was a fun adventure, perfect for me as a beginning backpacker. And what can I say bout the Rocky Mountains? ...Beautiful scenery, large mushrooms, and great lakeside accommodations at Odessa Lake🥰

Mark Snelgrove

What a great way to see some out of town sights! Elsa was a great guide who was fun , competent and knew her stuff. Don't hesitate to experience this tour!

J. Michael Joiner

Wow! We just finished an incredible private tour of Rocky Mountain National Park with Kyle Harris. Kyle was responsive to every request we made and made suggestions along the way that were all great. He found all the best views, wildlife, and stops for food and refreshments. He knows the area and the history. If I am ever in the area again we will definitely ask for Kyle, maybe even for a hiking tour.

Shane Prather

While in Denver we did both the red rock tour and the Rocky Mountains National parks full day tour. Both were AMAZING! We were lucky enough to have Eddie both times who did an incredible job. He was super knowledgeable, entertaining, friendly and funny. Highly recommended booking with them!

Laura

I was a solo traveler to Colorado and had no idea what to expect but the experience far exceeded my expectations. The tour was thoughtfully planned so We had ample opportunities for bathroom breaks and even an opportunity to stock up on snacks before the hike. I enjoyed getting to stop in Lyons and learn more about the area on our drive up. Our guide, Dylan, was so knowledgeable and professional. The hike was fun, wasn’t too difficult and I learned a lot in the process. 10/10 will recommend to my friends!

Mary Kane

We had an excellent tour with Aaron. He was precessional, knowledgeable, friendly and very attentive during the tour. The tour of the Rockies is wonderful. We saw deer and elk. Lunch was very good. (Turkey sandwich). One suggestion that may be be beneficial is to have the tour guide wear a microphone so people in the back of the van can hear all of the information. I recommend this tour.

Caryn Russman

Went on a day tour escape to the mountains for 4 hours and it was great! Our tour guide Will was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He even offered to take pictures of people at the various sites we visited. The views were absolutely beautiful and the little town we stopped in was cute as well. They had free water and hand sanitizer in the van which was a pleasant surprise. So glad we did this.

Stephanie

We loved our tour! Lindsey was our guide and she was very knowledgeable, providing fun facts and history throughout the entire trip. She was also a very safe driver during our journey to Rocky Mountain. There were many stops which enabled us to take pictures and walk around. I would recommend this tour.

Amy E

We signed up for the Rocky Mountain national park tour. Our guide was Will. He was great! Perfect personality for this job! He was knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. This tour is for those that want to see the park and learn some things along the way. Much better than if you go yourself because you wouldn’t get the extra information that your guide shares. He made sure everyone was comfortable and happy! Great lunch, great tour! Great playlist Will! 😊😎

Kristie Cody

This is an awesome team! Catherine helped us make a great decision & Will completed the seamless process. Dylan was our guide on the Half-Day Rocky Mountain Escape tour and he was Ah-MAZING! We were ecstatic to see a bighorn sheep as a result of his positive vibes. I look forward to my next Aspire tour!

Sebastian Tirador

My girlfriend and I purchased this excursion to not only see the rocky mountains but also to participate in hikes during the tour. Unfortunately, most of the tour was just driving around and stopping to use the restroom, eat, and shop. We did hike on one trail, however this was only because we asked the tour guide if we could. The trail they took us on was around Sprague Lake and lasted about 30 minutes, keep in mind we were on this tour from 9am - 5pm. The tour guides Mike and Adam were both great and very knowledgeable of the rocky mountains and Denver in general! We believe that the listing of the tour was a little bit misleading since the details mentioned there would be hiking involved and even specified to come prepared for that. We are disappointed and expected more from the tour.

Barbara Davis

I had a great experience with the Mt Evan's full day tour! I was delighted with the small group and our personable guide, Braille. She was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the general area, our individual stops,and detailed info re the flora and fauna. She safely drove us up and down the narrow, two way, switchback 14 mile road calmly and professionally, while managing to point out mountain goats, sheep, marmots and pikas! She told us lots of interesting stories of some of locals and kept us engaged. Rocky mountain high!

tj tp

My mom and I went to Breckenridge tour led by Jed and Erin on 11/17/21. The tour, the stops made (Idaho springs, red rocks, loveland pass, Breckenridge , the last stop with the big bear sculpture). The tour was 8 hours as listed leaving union station at 9am. Plenty of restroom stops along the way (like 4). Gondola ride was the highlight along with Loveland pass stop. I have to say the tour is very safe thanks to Jed’s driving. Erin took some amazing pics for us. Both tour guides provided such great information about the different areas for each stop, Denver and Colorado in general and were very helpful in providing recommendations for dining and activities in Denver for our stay. Both Jed and Erin are amazing individuals who clearly have a passion for Colorado state and it showed throughout the tour. We were very lucky to have them lead our tour! A special thanks to Will for changing my tour date on very very short notice. Thank you Will, Jed and Erin!

David Lacho

Ryan was great! It was really neat to see his passion for biology and nature come through on the hike and it gave us all a good appreciation for Colorado's beauty. Really kind guy. The hike was easy/moderate but appropriate for the group. I wish it was slightly more challenging. The lunch was a nice add. Overall I recommend this activity!

Elisa Andrade

This is a beginners backpacking trip for intermediate hikers. So if you are used to day hikes but never camped overnight, this is for you! Guides Kat and Gabor were amazing. Their genuine passion for the outdoors shines as they ensured we had a fun and safe trip. Very knowledgeable and kind, they are open to sharing their worldly experiences for an enriched experience in nature. From the beginning of the trip, transportation to the park, providing gear, getting packed and fitted, there was clear communication and attentiveness to the needs of each individual in the group. You walk for hours in the Rockies with all your stuff on your back traversing through several micro climates and discover so many beautiful sights along the way. What is more rewarding for me are the thoughts that resonate from being connected and immersed in nature. Our guides were also great camp chefs who not only supplied lunches, dinner and breakfast but kept all that food safe from bears. I highly recommend this! Kudos to owner Kat for getting out of the office and joining us on the hike. She cares about all aspects of the tours and asked for feedback.

Matt Appelhans

Went on this trip for my wife’s birthday and was not disappointed! Dylan made the trip so enjoyable by sharing fun facts throughout the trip about everything we were seeing. Breath taking views at 3 different look out spots. A note to buyers-understand this is a guided van tour with stops along the way. For us, it was a perfect way to spend an afternoon in the mountains!

Tim and Melissa Barnes

Jed was an amazing tour guide full of great information! We had a motley crew of moms and surprisingly didn’t scare him too badly! The views were stunning and the hiking required very minimal and on a paved path. I would definitely do this again if given the opportunity.

Jacob Vinzant

The tour was a very good time. Much more relaxing than driving yourself. Our tour guide Lindsay was very pleasant and gave a good amount of information during our trip. She was knowledgeable and it turned a simple your into a learning experience which is exactly what I enjoy. Would recommend to anyone looking to tour the Denver area especially the national parks.

Gail McKenna

Will as a guide was beyond amazing. He was so informative about many things. It made the tour so enjoyable. He was amazing!

Naomi D. D.

Kyle made our Pikes Peak/Garden of the Gods adventure memorable and relaxing! We didn’t feel the pressure of a timeline and were able to enjoy ourselves and the sights. His knowledge of the area makes the experience richer, and his friendly and flexible demeanor put us instantly at ease. We especially appreciated his concern for putting safety and health (altitude adjustments) first as it was key to us having a great experience from pick up to drop off. Kyle was very accommodating in every regard!

Gisela Pumarejo

Worth the money! Rocky mountains are breathtaking and this tour allowed us to admire and experience their beauty. We had plenty stops along the way for exploring and taking pictures. Hands down to the tour guide Brailley for being so awesome and incredibly knowledgeable about nature and wildlife. She made the tour an unforgettable learning experience.

Rose Cricket Wallis

I really enjoyed the driver who was very knowledgeable about the Area. Dylan was easy to talk to and fun. What I enjoyed the most was the walk around the lake, views and the elk that was seen crossing the road. I would definitely share my trip with my friends and recommend that they take this trip also.

Robert Milam

I took two 6 hour tours with Aspire on consecutive days, after attending a convention in Denver. The first was a Rocky Mountain National Park trip with no hiking, but with a lot of stops to let people get a good taste of the region. The second was a Rocky Mountain National Park trip that included a five mile round trip hike to Cub Lake, a very nice hike with only a sprinkling of rain, and with lots of elk and some mule deer near the road and not far from the trail. We saw no bear or bighorn sheep, but did see two wild turkeys.

quentin alston

Nick was Awesome! Very knowledgeable about the city and Rocky Mountain National Park! He was on time, very polite and had a great sense of humor. Nick made sure we stayed in schedule and would stop often for bathroom breaks and to stretch our legs. This is a good value for a tour, and the pictures alone are worth more than words! I wish Nick could be my and my wife’s personal tour guy for EVERY SINGLE PLACE WE VISIT AROUND THE WORLD. Lol Well done Nick!

CL Cousineau

Our trip guide was Kyle. He did an awesome job of explaining things as the tour progressed. He was very informative and has many personal experiences to share. I only wish we could have booked the full day tour, however, it was sold out. We highly recommend Kyle as a tour job! Thanks for the great experience.

janknitg

My husband and I took a tour from Aspire Tours based on the recommendation of Packup and Go, (another fantastic company). We did the all day tour from Denver to Breckenridge, with stops at the Red Rocks and the Continental Divide along the way. Dylan was our guide and he was fantastic!!! His knowledge of the area is amazing, he shared interesting tidbits along the way. He couldn't have been nicer. His suggestions for our time in Breckenridge were great. I can't say enough about this company and about Dylan, what an asset he is to Aspire Tours. If your in Denver, I would strongly suggest a tour with Aspire Tours, you won't be disappointed!

Mohammed Malik

So good :) I highly recommend this tour. Red Rocks Amphitheater is stunning, a world class music venue built into and around prehistoric rock formations. Mt. Evans also didn't disappoint - other than the stunning views, we saw elk, marmots, and wooly mountain goats. Shay (aka Shea Butter) was our fantastic guide :) She is a great storyteller and knows a lot about the history and wildlife of the area. She kept things very interactive during a well-paced tour.

stephanie hutcheson

We did the half day Rockies tour with Jed. The trip was beautiful, Jed was incredibly knowledgeable about literally anything that you could think to ask. He had great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The scenery was breathtaking. Overall I am really glad that I decided to take this tour, and would highly suggest booking with Aspire, and especially Jed in particular.

Pierre Joseph

Had a great time on this tour. Jed was awesome. Super informative and friendly. It was a good way to see alot of cool things in Colorado. Loveland pass was awesome. The town we stop in Idaho Springs was pretty neat. The time spent in Breckenridge... not nearly enough. That place is so awesome. I went during November. I'd love to see how everything looks in the summer time. So I definitely will be back. Awesome, awesome, awesome tour.

Maribel Mota

Our Guide "Shay Butter" was the best! She was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about our tour from beginning to end. Absolutely loved the experience! The Rocky Mountain National Parkbus si worth the ride! The tour van was clean and comfortable. We highly recommend Aspire Tours to take you on your next tour!

Maclaine Coles

A delightful experience. Our tour guide, Gabor, was a bundle of interesting facts and recommendation. He made our tour enjoyable, educational, and exciting. We enjoyed seeing the Red Rocks Amphitheater and Echo Lake Park, the Aspens changing colors, walking around Idaho Springs, and searching for the allusive Big Horn Sheep. Very fun trip. Would definitely recommend.

Cindy Manifold

Steve was a fantastic tour guide and a great photographer to boot. This is high praise coming from a portrait photographer!! He was so knowledgeable as well!! My only regret is that we don’t have time to do a full day Rocky Mountain tour!!

Frank Junio

Our first visit to Denver from California and we had a free afternoon. That morning we booked the 4 hour tour. Our guide/driver was awesome. Full of information and very knowledgeable. He knew his stuff and kept everyone’s attention. Thumbs up to his driving also. We had a great afternoon and back in time for the Rockie/Giant game.

Blake Mobley

We had our first experience in the Rocky Mountains this past weekend with Aspire Tours all Day National Park Tour. We consider ourselves absolutely lucky to be able to have Tour Guide Shea "Butter" driving our van. She took a personal interest in making our first experience to the mountains as excellent as humanly possible. Everything from logistics, timing, to driving went perfectly without a hitch. She provided a much higher value to the trip with her history lessons, explanations and general knowledge of the area. I highly recommend if you are taking this trip in the near future- ASK FOR SHEA!

Ryan Roberson

Our tour guide, Will, was very knowledgeable and fun. He made the tour a great experience. We enjoyed getting to see multiple waterfalls, hiking some beautiful places and having fun taking pictures of the scenery and wildlife. He went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. Our check in was smooth and the whole day was wonderful. 10/10 recommended

C n

Our guide Garbon was amazing. He was full of energy, share so much information on the trip. I went on a full day tour to the Rocky Mountains, highly recommend to get the most of first time visit. Guides are very knowledgeable and experienced. I felt safe every minute of it. They offer other tours as well. They try to make it as comfortable as possible. They really care about your well being health wise, especially with the ones who might not do well in elevation.Thank you! Will book again soon!

Jennifer D

We did the full day Rocky Mountain tour. This was amazing. So glad we picked this to do! Jed(i) was the best tour guide. His immense knowledge of the area and the ecology really gave us tremendous insight into the area and the beauty of the park. If you are looking for something to do - this is it!

Max Lowden

Excellent tour of the Rockies! Kyle was the best. He is very knowledgeable of the area and of nature. He kept us engaged while giving us our own pace during the hike. I would definitely book again! Max L. Pennsylvania

Rena Hughlett

This was my first visit to Colorado allowing time to do some sightseeing. Being without a car, I was wondering how I might visit some of the parks surrounding the area. So while in Denver, I stopped to get some information at Union Station and asked about tours, and was referred to Aspire Tours. It was a great experience, beginning to end. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and interactive with our group. He also made sure everyone felt comfortable with covid guidelines. I would give a five star rating if we had been able to have a little bit more time at the Red Rocks park. But if you would like to see the incredible beauty of the mountains and parks, Aspire tours is a great way to go! The transportation is comfortable, there's plenty of water to keep you hydrated...you will want to do this, trust me. And, its just fun to share the experience with others too. I highly recommend booking a tour with Aspire! My only regret was not being able to get to a bank beforehand, so I could tip our guide. He was such a great guide!

Roselyn Baskerville

Our family of four did the private tour of Mt Evans with Kyle as our tour guide. We had an enjoyable day! Kyle was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was nice we could relax and not worry about the driving! We also didn’t have to worry about getting a timed pass to enter the park. Would highly recommend!

Myra Lerma

I booked the Foothills Explorer half day tour for my husband and me. We chose a Saturday morning tour from 8:00am - 12:00pm. Pick-up area was right in front of Union Station which was easy to find. The groups were then split up into large vans and we were off. Our tour guide, Brailey, was awesome! She is very knowledgeable and has a really upbeat personality. We really enjoyed touring Red Rock Amphitheater, checking out the small mountain town of Evergreen and learning some cool facts about Buffalo Bill. I highly recommend this tour if you're like me and wanting to see Red Rocks without the fuss of renting a car and driving.

Savini Pabilona

Aspire tour was amazing! We had the BEST time hiking and our guide Phil was awesome! Would recommend!!

Ryan Whalen

Hike and Brew tour was great. Went on a private tour with 9 people to the Flatirons. The hike was beautiful and Dylan was a great guide. He was extremely informative on the hike, had a great sense of humor, and took us to a fun brewery afterward. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Chris Akin

Had an awsome time with Gentry our tour guide. She was amazing and extremely knowledgeable about the whole state of Colorado, tour was great driving up and down the mountain and beautiful scenery everywhere you look. Would definitely recommend it and if you do ask for Gentry you won't regret it.

Georgi Barrett

Lindsay was a wonderful tour guide! She enriched the experience by her knowledge of the Rocky Mountains and the varied terrain and wildlife. The bus tour is a great way to visit the first time as you get to see a wide variety of places. The lunch was amazing! Thank you!

melshelx

We did the Boulder Hike and Brews on July 11 with Dylan as our guide (Eddie was shadowing). The Flat Irons were beautiful! Dylan and Eddie were very informative about the area and took breaks at different intervals, which was greatly appreciated, to allow my family (from a much lower elevation) to catch our breath. Highly recommend this hike! A few days later, July 13, we did the Rocky Mountain National Park Tour with Eddie as our guide. This was a nice day four us to recuperate from our previous days hikes and see beautiful sites from a very comfortable van. Eddie was a fantastic guide!

Tammy Panbecker

Jenna was amazing! She is a wealth of knowledge, funny and very accommodating. She took us to great places in the park, including high elevations, lower elevations & all in between. Lunch was very good & filling. Traveling was so nice by leaving it up to the experts. We arrived on the train & did not have to worry about getting around the park or park passes. Do not hesitate book you trip with Jenna!

Michelle Tortorelli

Aaron did a wonderful job as our tour guide on the foothills explorer tour! He kept us safe and informed despite the high winds. He was knowledgeable and had the whole group interacting and having fun together!

Jess

Josh was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable. He ensured everyone had time to aclimate to the altitude changes. He pointed out great things along the way. Mt. Evans was spectacular. Josh ensure those who wanted to make the 15 minute hike to the top had time. Recommend everyone bring warm clothes for the upper altitudes. All in all, this was our favorite tour of many. Thanks Josh and Aspire!

Renee Cote

This was an amazing and deeply satisfying tour experience. It's exactly what I wanted which was to experience the mountains of Colorado. Our tour guide, Jed, made it all possible and then made it even better. His knowledge and passion for the mountains, wildlife, trees and plants was extensive. He was so nice and accommodating. The views were breathtaking and each stop was adequately timed. Even the lunch sandwich was delicious and very satisfying. If I go on any other tours, I will try to get Jed as my guide. He truly made the a grand tour. All my expectations were met. Great company and tour.

Justin Gonyea

We took the Half Day Rocky Mountain Escape, and it was amazing! Our guide, Mitchell, took our small group from downtown Denver up to Echo Lake Park at the base of Mt. Evans and then to Idaho Springs. He was very friendly and knowledgeable every step and stop along the way. I would highly recommended this trip if you only have a limited amount of time like we did. It was well worth it.

Dalia Yusuf

Wonderful experience! We enjoyed breathtaking scenery throughout the way, and the stops were so refreshing. Our knowledgeable guide, Mitchell, promised us an informative, fun, and safe trip, and he kept his promise. He was energetic, helpful, and considerate. We were a small group of travelers, and although we did not know each other, it felt like traveling with a group of friends. Highly recommended!

Sofia Khan

We had a great time on our full day Rocky Mountain hiking tour with Phil. Aspire tours was very responsive to my questions and booking was a breeze. Phil really catered to our group - we learned a lot but he kept it light and enjoyable. The views were breathtaking and it was perfect having Phil guide us through them!

I went on the Half Day Rocky Mountain escape. We were fortunate enough to have a really experienced, highly informative, and very personable guide - Jed. Excellent tour that accommodates everyone including the less able. Spectacular views. I would absolutely do this again. Worth every penny!

Kelli Wilson

Mike was an amazing tour guide! Gave great history of Denver during the car ride and during the hike he took time to speak to every single person and make sure no one was too far back. Excellent experience and would definitely do again!

Tori

Had an amazing trip with Steve!! He is a professional photographer and took us through all the coolest niche spots in Rocky Mountain national park. I loved how personal this tour felt and stopping at monuments I otherwise would’ve never seen. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone looking to explore what lies beyond Denver. An amazing day!!!

Kenneth Spoerl

The Rocky Mountain NP Tour on Sept 13 was one of the best tours we have taken Our guide/driver Ryan was personable, knowledgeable, and a safe driver. It was a full day with plenty of stops for photo ops, lunch (which was supplied by Aspire) and taking a break. The scenery in the park was incredible. Spotting and photographing the male bull elk was a big highlight. Highly recommend this trip as an educational and scenic intro to RMNP.

Alex Hammer

Got a tour of Rocky mountains from Denver. Lots of nice stops along the way! Great trip and great tour from Ty! Definitely recommend if you’re trying to see the Rocky Mountains.

Ellen Fox

My husband and I had a great experience with Aspire Tours! Dillon is a super fun and knowledgeable tour guide. It was nice to have a guided tour because it meant less planning on our part. We really enjoyed the views and stops along the way. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Rocky Mountain National Park! It’s so beautiful in the winter! The tour is a fantastic value. We spent the whole day exploring Estes/Rocky Mountain, and I feel like I learned a lot from Dillon’s detailed knowledge.

Cassie Catalano

We came to Denver wanting to explore both the city and the mountains. This tour is an excellent way to explore without having a car! Mitchell was very knowledgeable and professional. We saw so many great spots and the packed lunch was excellent! I highly recommend!!

Monique Cromartie

Excellent tour with Aspire in Colorado. Our tour guide Gentry was simply amazing, very professional, communicative, knowlegeable, and personable. We saw a lot and did a lot in one day, with the most amazing views and great picture taking spots throughout the tour, as well as animal sightings. Lunch in the park was amazing as well. Very satisfied with our choosing this tour.

Dan Feldman

Our family took the Rocky Mountain Tour from Denver. Our tour guide Phil was very professional and had a great wealth of knowledge of the mountains and wildlife! He was very entertaining and was very attentive to all of our needs! The mountains were magical and my family of four including my 16 and 11 year old loved the tour! I recommend this trip to anyone and the sandwiches given were also a surprise bonus.

Free Man

Phil, our guide was very engaging. This tour is perfect for just a taste of Rocky Mountain culture and history. The views are awesome alone. Timing was flexible. I got help up in traffic getting to the meeting point, bc of a marathon. Tour guide actually waited. Wow

Ai Okamoto

Lyndsay was an amazing tour guide, who was very knowledgeable about the geology, weather and also wildlife. She was also very courteous and professional. The tour itself was very interesting with well planned scenery of lakes, wildlife, trees, shops etc. Not very active, but still ability to walk around. I learned so much about Colorado! And loved it!

Sonia Villegas Green

It was a great experience! Enjoyed being picked and dropped off in downtown Denver and having a chance for us to just enjoy the sights without driving. We learned so much. I had never seen The Red Rock area. It was beautiful. Our guide was fantastic, fun, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour. Had a blast!

Ellen Emery Johnson

I enjoyed my tour of RockyMountain National Park. My guide, Jed was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna that the park offers. We spent just the right amount of time at each of the spots, which were all chosen very well. I’m an older person, not in the best shape, and for me, I got to experience the beauty of the park and the Rockies. On my own, I would have been hard pressed to know where to go, where the best sites were, how to make good use of the limited time I had. Choosing this company was an excellent decision. It was the highlight of my trip, and the photos I took will always remind me of the splendid day I had on this tour. Highly recommend.

Mary Pender

Fantastic day spent hiking in Rocky National Park. Our Aspire guide Dylan was amazing! He was not only super knowledgable but also very friendly and kind. He patiently waited for some hikers who needed a break. I highly recommend Dylan and this tour. Such a beautiful hike!

Steve Keown

Aaron was our tour guide and he was fantastic. It was myself another teacher and 8 high school students. We could not have had a better time. He was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see the Rockies and Red Rock.

Vicki Zwart

We had the absolute BEST time on our tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. Win was our tour guide and he is amazing; he's a fountain of knowledge about the park, its wildlife, its botany, the environment, and climate change. There wasn't a question from our group that he couldn't answer. He also made sure that we saw as much of the park as possible during our trip - with the culmination being the rare sighting of two bull moose feeding! WOW! It was so awesome! Win also has such a positive personality and way about him. He left us smiling the rest of the day. We can't recommend him enough! And hope to see him again soon!

Jagjit Dass

First time in the Denver Area and I wanted to hike Rocky Mountain National Park, Aspire did a good job of handling my changes to my trip, providing transportation, and employing great guides on an enjoyable hike. Major props to Philip and Josh for guiding our group, providing lots of info on the Denver and the park area, taking us on a hiking trail that was really scenic and being cool guys overall. I would book Aspire Tours again if I return to Denver.

Sasha Powell

Jed was such an amazing tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and he made the tour interesting by telling us some history! Coming from PA this was my first time in CO. I took the “Denver: Rocky Mountain Escape” tour and the price of this tour was way beyond worth it with all of the sites you see. If you’re thinking about this tour, do it! Breathtaking views and beautiful sites!!

Kayla Logan

I originally booked the Rocky Mountain National Park tour for my family but due to the forest fire the tour didn’t run on our scheduled date. Tara informed me in a timely manner and offered me alternative options (by the way, I’d called a few times prior to my trip and she was professional, polite and very helpful each time). We decided to go with the afternoon Denver Foothills Tour and it was the highlight of our trip. Barry was our tour guide and he was exceptional! It just so happened that we planned our trip on days where Denver experienced record low temperatures and had quite a bit of snow but he made sure to drive safely and kept the van warm in case we needed to return to it ahead of time. He navigated the tour so that we were able to get the best experience at each stop. Evergreen was a nice and quaint town and the view of the snow-covered mountains and trees atop Lookout Mountain was so beautiful and serene. We were able to spot a few elk and mule deer during the tour which my son loved! I highly recommend booking with Aspire Tours!

Maria Rosin

Kyle was awesome! He took us everywhere! We went to an amazing coffee shop and bakery in Lyons to start. Then he took us all over the park and he was so knowledgeable about the area and history. We saw Fran the moose and were about 8 feet away. He played amazing music and was so entertaining and fun! We ended the tour seeing Big Steve and a huge heard of females! We even saw them in the water! I highly recommend Aspire tours and ask for Kyle! Thank you so much Kyle for a beautiful day and adventure!! We will be back in the Spring 2022!!

Tanya Parra

My family and I took a tour to the Red Rocks and Amphitheatre a few weeks ago. Aaron was our guide and he was very informative! He was always very attentive with all of us and was engaged throughout the trip. I highly recommend that you ask for Aaron as your tour guide! 13/10 recommend! You can tell when someone loves their job and that makes all the different in your experience!

Justine Long

Had a great time on the Half-Day Rocky Mountain Explorer tour! Kyle was very knowledgeable and was an excellent guide! The tour was the perfect glimpse into the beauty of the Rocky Mountains!

David Hardy

What a great experience! I only had a little time to spend in Denver and I am so glad I chose this tour. Aaron was our tour guide and was pretty amazing! He had a wealth of knowledge and kept the tour interesting and engaging. In addition to the normal sites, we were also able to see elk, bison, and Blacktail mule deer!

Lynn Lotz (lotzproperty)

We scheduled an all day private tour with our party of 7 people. Everyone really enjoyed it. Our Tour Guide, Mike, was great! Very informational, pointed out and explained lots of things, never felt rushed when we stopped, took us someplace that wasn't initially on the tour that after talking with our group he thought we would like. WE DID! Would definitely use Aspire again, they communicated well from start to finish of the reservation to the tour day. Thank you to them and Mike!

Shawnay Mazell

Had a great tour to Rocky Mountain National Park! Our guide, Mike, did an excellent job of engaging with the group and was extremely knowledgeable. The hike we did had exceptional views and I felt like Mike made sure we all had an enjoyable time.

Brenda Hoover

We joined the RMNP tour in Estes Park. Our guide Lindsey was excellent! She was so friendly and very knowledgeable. She is one of the best tour guides we’ve had! She talked to us the whole time explaining about the park, sights, animals, etc. Beautiful views, a little time to walk around and explore a couple of areas and the gift shop afterwards. Lunch was pretty great too. They provided nice big deli sandwiches and chips. We only had one free day to explore the park, and this was a nice overview. Would recommend!

Thomas Grooms

We had a wonderful day at Rocky Mountain National Park, largely due to our Aspire Tours guide. Ryan was highly personable & professional, plus he was incredibly knowledgeable about the park & Colorado & nature in general. Another huge plus was that he tailored our tour to our interests & physical ability. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Race Clark

Tour was a great way to see and learn a lot about Denver and also the surrounding geological features and history. Gentry was our tour guide and she was unbeatable. She is SO knowledgeable about all things Denver and the surrounding areas (seriously geology, animals, science, history, activities, you name it). Her tour was fascinating and entertaining. She even holds a masters in geology!

Megan Snyder

We had a great experience on this tour. “Two Toed” Kyle was extremely knowledgeable of the park and showed us some amazing sites. He provided the best high quality H2O around. Whenever we visit the area again we will definitely be booking another tour and requesting Kyle as our guide.

PJ R

Had a fantastic half day tour in the mountains in Colorado. Our tour guide, Aaron was a fantastic guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna of the state, highly highly recommend.

Don Roberts

The Mt. Evans tour from Denver was was a great experience. Our tour guide, Josh, was informative, friendly, and kept us on schedule. The day went by quickly with visits to various sites, lunch, and stops to acclimate to the increased elevation. Beautiful and a must see. I would highly recommend this tour.

Ru B

Our tour guide Kyle was very knowledgeable about the red rock, Evan mountain and the surrounding areas. He was professional and treating everyone with respect. I would highly recommend the tour if you visit Denver. Steve, who was helping with the tour, took us to a nice water fall place. He made sure everyone was comfortable.

Regina

Best 1/2 day trip of Foothills I can imagine. Steve the tour guide did an excellent job providing educational information about Denver and the history of the area. The drive to Foothills was comfortable from the moment we got in the vehicle. The scenery was beautiful with plenty of time for taking pictures and enjoying the sights.

Stephanie Johnston

Ryan was AMAZING! We took a private tour of Rocky Mountain National Park and it was worth every penny. The views were incredible and Ryan also took us through a few small towns around the park - so quaint and cozy! Ryan was knowledgeable about the area and shared tons of fun facts throughout the tour. He was also very personable and easy to chat with on the drive to and from. Definitely recommend!

Addie Walters

VERY impressed with this company. Our tour was canceled on our original date and they immediately called with other options and booked us on another date that worked with our schedule. Great communication and very pleasant!! Our tour guide (Jeff or Jed, I think) was AMAZING. He has experience in geology, ecology and Colorado history and gave an excellent and informative tour. We highly recommend this tour group!!

Claribel Diaz

Our tour guide Kyle was AWESOME! I felt like we saw and did so much without feeling rushed. We learned so much and the recommendations he provided for after the tour were great! I will be taking more tours when I come back to Denver.

Miranda Nelson

Amazing tour for the price, so worth it!! Our guide Aaron was the best! He was very informative throughout and had just the right amount of jokes!! He also had a lot of suggestions for places to eat, drink, visit, etc while visiting. Also, always made sure we had enough water and would refill us if needed and made sure we were feeling good! The views were spectacular! We never could have gotten up there ourselves. It was also great spending time getting to know the small group of people we were with! So glad I booked this, go for it!!!

Caitlin Miller

I had a great time on the Hiking Adventure in Rocky Mountain National Park tour. My tour guide (I forget his name I'm so sorry!) was awesome and very informative. Unfortunately, there was a lady on our tour who had a hard time keeping up with the hike and that made the experience less enjoyable for all of us since we had to constantly wait for her to catchup. I recommend this tour for people who have experience hiking and are physically fit!

sherry jones

Kyle, our tour guide was awesome. He drove us to Rocky Mountain National Park and showed us all the best views and wildlife. It was a great day for The Jones Family Party of 9! Also a big thanks to Will, who helped us get all the details set up.

Cyril Zachariah

This was an amazing tour!! Our tour guide Jed went above and beyond. He is very knowledgeable and helpful, he definitely knows about the land, environment, and made sure each member of our group was safe. Jed felt like another member of our family.I will definitely recommend taking the Pikes Peak tour as well as Breckinridge tour with Jed!!! Thank you Aspire Tours LLC and thank you so much to Jed for being a great tour guide. Way to go Jed!!!!!!

Mary Higdon

What a great day! Our guide, Will, was wonderful- informative, helpful, and charming. We spent the day in Rocky Mountain National Park, a place I’ve been often, but saw things today I had never seen before. Will pointed out big horn sheep, mule deer, marmots, and elk - all surrounded by the amazing mountains. Well worth the price to be driven around and ha e so much fun!

Dara K

Great and fun tour for just the right amount of people and covers a good bit for 4 hours. Our guide Gentry knows her stuff! Very informative and her knowledge of Denver/surrounding areas makes me and other tourists want to move there. Thanks so much for a great experience! Will recommend this tour for anyone who visits Denver!

Katy Funabashi

Mike H. was an excellent tour guide! We hiked Wild Basin, and had beautiful waterfall views. He was knowledgeable about National Parks and Colorado history, took time to meet each member of the hiking group, and kept us entertained with fun stories.

blaine lewis

This was our first trip to Rocky Mountain National Park and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our guide, Win, was amazing- he's got an interesting story for everything, speaks with conviction regarding the wildlife, and gives great historical perspective. He relates a lot of the history of Colorado to today and how the natural terrain has adapted and more recently, suffered. He would pull over for anything just to tell a cool story and made everyone feel super comfortable. Just an awesome dude, made a really nice day trip even better.

Margaret Schum

We were more than pleased with the Foothills tour on our first trip to Denver. It was exceptionally informative and really gave us a “lay of the land” and a good idea of what we wanted to the rest of our trip. Our tour guide, Brayley, was a true gem. She was a wealth of knowledge on the history and culture of the area. Brayley shared so many valuable tips that made the remainder of our stay so enjoyable. We could not have asked for a better experience or better guide. This Aspire tour was truly perfect!!

Karen Ruiter

MIke was a excellent tour guide and made the trip to the park and the hike very enjoyable. He is an experienced hiker and gave us so much information about the area and the mountains. The hike had beautiful views and we stopped often for water breaks and pictures. The weather was perfect and the people on the tour were great. Definitely recommend.

Jim Rabalais

My wife and I took the full day tour to Rocky Mountain National Park on Sunday, July 18. It was a wonderful trip. The scenery was beautiful. We enjoyed a picnic lunch at the falls. Our guide, Mike, was friendly and informative. It was an amazing trip.

Christi S

Absolutely AMAZING tour. I don't even know where to start. I signed up for the Rocky Mountain National Park 8 hour tour. We weren't rushed, saw things beyond beautiful and met amazing people. Our tour guide, Ryan, was the best tour guide imaginable. He described things we saw, answered questions and truly loves what he does - it's obvious. We had a varied group with us from all around the country. Some in groups, couples and solo travelers. They catered to ALL. On another note, lunch was included in the trip, I'm vegetarian. Couldn't believe they actually provided me a delicious vegetarian lunch. As my diet is different, I tend to fend for myself. Nope - they took care of all of us. Highly recommended, the other guides seemed awesome too (we ended up on 3 vans as it was a big tour). But if I take another tour I'll request Ryan again. 5☆ ratings all around company. Oh forgot to mention, I had booked a shorter tour and it was too late to change according to the website. I called and the woman overrode it so I could book the longer. Grateful for that too!!

Skyeatshorizon

My wife and I took the 4 hour tour package and had a great time. We were taken to a couple small trails and given more then enough time to walk them to our pickup spot, while taking pictures along the way! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Colorado. Shoutout to our tour guide Josh for being very knowledgeable, friendly!

Brandon Punke

This tour was well worth the money. I booked a solo trip to Denver just a few days before and this tour was perfect. The guide, Gabor ( may have misspelled that), was really friendly, super informative, and professional. The vans were comfortable and provided great views as we were driving. The stops were perfect, beginning with a brief stop in Lyons for coffee after getting some insight into Boulder from our guide. We then saw some mountain goats on the way to a small church in a pristine setting. Next up was Lilly Lake which is surrounded by mountains on all sides and has a one mile patch around it. We then headed into Rocky Mountain National Park and were able to visit the Alpine Visitors Center. There is no way to accurately describe the beauty you see on this tour. And the knowledge and humor shared by the guide was perfect. I’d definitely do this again when I’m in Denver.

Firouzeh Morad

We had a great time with Jed and Aaron as our tour guides. Both were excellent at explaining and keep us safe hiking along the path. Jed knew all about the environment, mountains, wild animals, wild plants. Aaron was also very knowledgeable and both kept us entertained.They stopped during our hike multiple times to make sure we were all right , had water, etc. The path had awesome views. Highly recommend this tour!

Kaytlin Kuettner

Honestly the Rocky Mountain Tour with Elsa was something i’ll never forget. Elsa was so personable and did a fantastic job. Definitely the highlight of my trip to Colorado :)

Molly Keener

Wonderful tour of Rocky Mountain National Park! Our guide, Eddie, was fun and informative, making us laugh while he shared stories and teaching us about the geologic history of the Rockies and surrounding area. As a solo traveler, my fellow tour attendees made me feel welcome, and our entire group had a great outing. Highly recommend this tour for those who want to see lots of RMNP in a single day, and especially for anyone traveling solo!

James Hilbert

Eddie was our tour guide through the Rocky Mountain National Park. He was super knowledgeable about the flora and fauna as well as the geological aspects of the park. He made sure to make a personal connection w each guest as well as encouraging the guests to connect w each other. He took requests for music and had some of the guests singing along as we made our way to and from the park. Aspire was accommodating for those guests who are gluten free. I would strongly recommend Aspire Tours for the Rocky Mountain National Park tour.

Erika Kotero

I had such an amazing time on my tour with Aaron. My husband and I have been to Denver many times but wanted a tour to get out of the city and see the beauty of Colorado. The half day tour was exactly what we were looking for, great sights and extra time in Golden. Tons of facts and great recommendations, I highly recommend booking with this vendor and request Aaron!!!!

Danielle Cerullo

I highly recommend this tour and company. The tour guide Dylan was exceptional in his knowledge, ability to help us all feel comfortable and confident, and his calm demeanor. He was attentive to everyone’s needs the whole way through and let us know exactly what to expect. The views were just breathtaking and the whole hike was incredible. He kept us at a pace we were able to handle which allowed us to take in the spectacular scenery.

Michele

The Rocky Mountain tour was great! Amazing introduction to the mountain. Our tour guide- Lindsay was very knowledgeable and provided a ton of history and facts about the entire area. She also made sure that everyone was comfortable and got what they wanted out of the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to see all of the highlights!

Melissa Hoercher

I had never been to Denver and knew that a hiking tour of the mountains would be the perfect way to see places I would never have found otherwise. It was my good fortune to have been paired with Steve. He began by sharing his story of 42 years in Denver. Throughout the tour his knowledge and appreciation of the city and of his” backyard”- the canyon and rapids- made for a truly enjoyable afternoon. Good balance of vehicle and walking time, too. I recommended this specific half day tour and this guide in particular to some locals who were interested because of my enthusiastic review! I have dinner reservations tonight based on the restaurant recommendation of one of the couples who were in my Aspire group. Great way to find venues in an unfamiliar place.

Shannon Russell

We had a great private tour with Mike on Aug 15! He personalized the tour to exactly what we wanted and was very informative about the region. We had a little mix up on the date of the tour, totally my fault, and Aspire was super accommodating so we wouldn't miss the Rocky Mountains! I recommend booking with Aspire on your next trip!

Carla Edwards

Our family spent a half day with Shay on the Denver Foothills Explorer tour. Shay has an energetic and infectious personality and her passion for her job really showed. We enjoyed a visit to the Red Rock Amphitheater and Lookout Mountain. How amazing it must be to attend a concert at the Amphitheater! Before heading to Lookout Mountain, we stopped in Evergreen for some tasty pastries at the Muddy Buck. Buffalo Bill's graveside was atop Lookout Mountain and was interesting to see. Overall, this was an enjoyable morning, especially if you just have a short period of time to get outside of the city.

Lona Oliver

Aspire tours answered all of my questions when I called to confirm our tour. The guides approached us and made checking in easy. We followed Eddie and joined a family, another couple, and a solo traveler to become a family for a day. Eddie was knowledgeable about the area and showed us amazing places within the park. We spotted 7 elk in someone’s yard in Estes Park where Eddie stopped so we could watch and take pictures. Our time was valued and he catered to our wishes about stopping or continuing with our journey. Our drive back to Denver included family sing along to some fabulous tunes. I highly recommend booking with Aspire and if possible, look for Eddie!

Cup of Joisms

Ask for KYLE!!!!! Our tour of the Rocky Mountains was nothing short of amazing. The views were breathtaking and unbelievable! Our tour guide Kyle was so knowledgeable and personable. After about 10 min we felt like we had known him for years. He wasn’t pushy or rude and he didn’t ramble on and on. He gave a clear schedule as we headed toward the mountains then got to know us a little better and where we were from and things we were interested in seeing. He took that info and catered our tour to our combined interests. He suggested great places to eat and get drinks ! I would definitely do the tour again and I would really hope to get Kyle as our guide again. (There were 9 of us and we did the 8 hour tour to the Rocky Mountains)

Nicole Perry

My husband and I recently did a Rocky Mountain National Park tour with Aspire. At first we were signed up for a hike, but a few days before they had to move us over to the sightseeing tour. At first I was disappointed, but in the end I am glad we did the sightseeing tour. Our guide Mike H was amazing. He was so knowledgeable! He tried his best to find windlife but it rained quite heavily later in the afternoon, but he kept trying!! He got us up to the top of the Alpine Visitor Center just before the rain and we had a chance to get to the 12,000ft peak. He was one of the best tour guides we had on the entire 10 days we spent in Colorado. I highly recommend Aspire tours and try to get Mike H as your guide if you can!

Shepard Hockaday

The objective of this email is to send you feedback on our tour guide named Lindsey for the Rocky Mountain tour we went on today. She was outstanding in every way. Great driver, great narration, and very helpful and considerate of others. She did an excellent job! Happy group from Michigan and North Carolina.

Srinadh Madhavapeddi

We took the Rocky Mountain National Park private tour. It ended up being a great decision! Kyle picked us up promptly at 9 am and we had a full day of beautiful sights, lots of details about the park and the ecology, history, geology, plants and animals that we would have missed otherwise. The trip to the Continental divide and lunch at 12000 feet at Rock cut and venturing to the west side and seeing the origins of the Colorado River was truly spectacular. We saw some wildlife too. On the way back, Kyle went out of this way to show us Boulder Falls that we had missed on the previous day. All in all, couldn’t be happier with Aspire and our great guide, Kyle! Highly recommend.

Lindsay Saito

Our family of 4 went on the Rocky Mountain National Park tour. Our guide Lindsay was fantastic. She was kind and patient and her knowledge about the park and the surrounding Denver area was incredible. We saw Mule deer, Bighorn sheep, elk, and had an up close look of a Moose at Sprague Lake which was exciting. This tour was the highlight of our Denver trip. I would highly recommend it.

Katherine Ramos

Steve was our guide and he did amazing! So informative about Denver and the surrounding areas! We did a half day trip. We packed in so many sights! Red Rocks, water fall, Echo Lake, and Idaho Springs. Great easy walks! We didn’t get to do as much hiking but I believe that a full day trip would be amazing too!!!

Michael Konkoly

Will was our tour guide on Aspire Tours Rocky Mountain Tour on 8/15/21. He was very detailed on the explaination of the sights and their history. He offered outstanding customer service and competence to reach our goals of the day. He was very friendly and eagerly answered questions. He made this a memorable tour of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. My sister Ginny Mulack and I both give kudos to Will and to the outstanding organized tour and its great value. We had a wonderful learning experience.

Belinda Thibodeaux

Eddie was our tour guide. He was fantastic! Very considerate and knowledgeable. He made the day very relaxing and enjoyable. He took care of us like we were family. The Rocky Mountain National Park was gorgeous.

elizabeth rantala

Phil with Aspire Tours was amazing!! Made you fall in love with Colorado! Best experience would definitely recommend!! Gives you plenty of time and space to explore! I didn’t want to leave the Rocky Mountain National Park!

Allysa Lui

The tour with Lindsay was amazing! She was very informative, interesting and friendly. She was a park ranger previously and shared a lot of good stories and info with us while we traveled around the rocky mountains. She took into account the weather and found a covered eating place. We also felt like we had just the right amount of time at each location.

Mari Jo Schlosser

What a great way to spend a morning during our short visit to Denver! Our Chautauqua hike in Boulder was perfect for our family and our guide, Jed, was fantastic. Having lived here his whole life, he was a wealth of information about the area and it made our hike that much more enjoyable. We highly recommend Aspire and specifically Jed!

Sheryl Bourque

My husband and I went on a Rocky Mountain sightseeing tour. I am not in great shape for hiking and our tour guide, Phil, from Philadelphia, was more than understanding. He was patient and let our group go to stops and those who wanted extra hikes could and those who just wanted pictures and time in the Rocky Mountains could do that too. He was very knowledgeable about the terrain, the wildlife, the history and the ecosystems. I recommend this tour and Phil especially as he was patient, took great photos of us, and let us ask him tons of questions. There were 10 people on our tour in our van. WONDERFUL!
