Two of my friends and I signed up to do a van tour of Rocky Mountain National Park during our trip to Colorado. They sent us reminders before the tour and gave us a call the morning of the tour to confirm our pick up location, which was really nice to see. Our tour guide, Aaron, did a great job keeping the van tour light hearted, informative, and he was really focused on our needs. He told me he had only been doing tours for a couple months, but it definitely seemed like he had been doing this a lot longer! I was appreciative of how many stops we had for pictures, bathroom breaks, water refills, and exploring different areas of the park. Our tour guide knew all the best places to look for wildlife and we even saw a moose! The provided lunch for our group was turkey sandwiches and chips and it was just right for our day. We really enjoyed our tour and wish we could’ve spent even longer in the park and with our tour guide! Our only complaints were about the seating in the van. We were the last ones on the van when we originally got picked up and we ended up split up in different rows and some of us were squished in the 4-seater back seat. It would have been great if there were assigned seats to ensure parties were seated together as we were not the only group separated. This could have been a unique situation with our specific tour group, but I know it would’ve meant so much to our group of three to sit together since we all live in different states normally. Besides that, the tour itself was great and I’d definitely do it again!
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!
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!
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, cant quite remember his name but it was a tall guy with long hair and a slight accent, was the best guide we couldve 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 Ive seen so far in my life thanks to this tour. Thank you!!
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!
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.
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 didnt seem much because of the interesting conversations along the way. Recommended.
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! :)
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Enjoyed our tour guide Eddie. He was knowledgeable and encouraged the group to socialize with one another. He ensured that everyone had enough water as the day was very hot and warned us about signs of dehydration.We were lucky to sit in the back seats where it was easy to look at the views. Other folks who had their backs to the windows were not as happy.
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.
We did the Red Rocks Amphitheater and Mt. Evans tour. Phillip was a great guide, very attentive to getting me in and out of the van since I have bad knees. The tour was good, we got to see baby big horn sheep! Phillip was a safe driver and answered any question that I had. Thank you.
This morning, my husband and I took the tour Discover Rocky Mountain National Park from Denver. After we passed Estes Park visitor center, we went in the RM NP. Not too far from that entrance we had a lunch picnic. Then the drive up to the mountain started but a lady fell sick, she had light headed and asked the tour guide, Gentry, to take her back down. So the van went back to Estes Park visitor Center to drop the sick lady. After that, Gentry took us to Lily Lake, we were there for 45 minutes. Then the van went back again to Estes Park Visitor Center to pick up the sick lady, we stopped there for 1/2 hour before going back to Denver. That was it for the Rocky Mountain Tour!I understand its not Gentrys fault but its not fair for the customers of this tour to lose the whole day, time and money, could not see anything about the Rocky Mountain NP.We paid $268.20 for this trip.For a good customer service, Aspire Tours needs to do something about this tour.I am waiting to hear from Aspire Tours.Mai Nguyen (booking reference#823988074)This is an edit of a review I did on a Rocky Mountain NP tour (Sept.19,2021)Aspire Tour contacted me and refunded the whole amount I paid for this tour. This is a very good customer service act from Aspire Tour since that tour did not meet the customer satisfaction.I want to thank Will for the refund. If I have a chance to go back to Denver, I will take tours from Aspire Tours.Mai Nguyen
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 thats 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 wont regret it! This is coming from a non-outdoors, non-hiking, and non-people person. :) If you dont believe me, check out the views in my attached photos to this review. I mean...can it get any more BEAUTIFUL?! Thanks again, Ryan!
The tour was fantastic and well worth the money! The views were breathtaking and our tour guide (Will Sharpe) was extremely knowledgeable and kept our group engaged and entertained the entire time! We enjoyed everything about it!
Phil was a awesome tour guide had a great time.. Aspire tours when they found out I had 3 pending third party confirmation, but no actual tour booked.. The customer service manager I spoke with performed a magic act by making room for us on a sold out tour..Everything was a disaster with booking, I highly recommend you book with Aspire themselves and avoid the third party route and you will be 110% satisfied with your tours..
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.
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!
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.
We absolutely loved this tour. Phillip was our guide and did an outstanding job. He made sure we were comfortable and was very knowledgeable and informative. He went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we could.This tour was well worth the money and I would recommend it to everyone.
This was a great day hike! I was in Boulder for a wedding and just didnt 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.
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!
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.
This was a really great tour, I highly recommend it! They did a great job communicating with me before the tour so we knew exactly what to expect. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and shared a lot of history along the way. We had enough time at each of the stops to see everything and explore the area. Excellent value!
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!!!
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.
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!
Great day trip! Highly recommend to book with Philip for a very informative tour. He knew local Denver and awesome geological and environmental info to highlight the trip. Ill be booking again on my next travel.
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!
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!
Our guide, Gentry was excellent. She was knowledgeable and made sure to take us to the best locations while educating. She also offered many tips on how to enjoy our visit to the Denver area.
We had Josh as our guide for the Red Rocks, Evergreen and Lookout Mountain tour. The fog was thick on Lookout Mountain, so Josh made a decision to stop in Golden rather than end the tour early. It was a nice surprise.I highly recommend Aspire Tours.
Gentry was an AMAZING guide! Not only was she friendly and knowledgeable... but since I was a solo traveler, she took all my photos, and even took the time to hang out with me. Perfect drive, perfect guide, perfect tour. Thank you Gentry!!!
Our guide Jenna was very knowledgeable and personable. She was able to answer all questions easily. I would definitely recommend Jenna to anyone interested in going on the Rocky mountain trip.
Kyle was a great, extremely knowledgeable tour guide. We had beautiful sights and lots of neat towns and gift shops to check out. Definitely worth it to experience the Rockies in a day.
Will, our tour guide, was awesome and so helpful. He took such great care of our group, spotted lots of wildlife, made sure we stopped when needed, took our photo with the gorgeous scenery, shared lots of facts and interesting history of the area. He made our trip super memorable.The sandwich lunch was great and we enjoyed eating by the waterfalls. The coffee stop was fun and lots of cute things to purchase.
We had a wonderful tour of the Foothills. Gentry was an experienced, well informed, eager to answer questions and share her vast knowledge of the area, geology and paleontology. We had a great time!
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🥰
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!!
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.
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 Colorados 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!
Tour guide was awesome!! He was informative and ensured everyone had a good time, took plenty of photos, and took in the scenery. Id absolutely book a tour with these guys again. Thank you Jed!!
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!
Ryan was knowledgeable and fun tour guide. Appreciated the water and snacks available during the tour and the points visited were great. Would definitely recommend this tour and suggest you ask for Ryan.
Took the scenic mount Evans tour Denver today. Kyle was our tour guide and he was great. I take tours in every city I visit and he was a top notch tour guide. Would strongly recommend this tour.
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 wont regret it 😀
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.
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.
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.
Mike was great and the tour was perfect. It was exactly what we were hoping for. We got to get out and experience the stops fully. Mike set us up with the knowledge to move around without the stress of figuring it out on our own. We will do this again!
I had a great experience with the Mt Evans 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!
We had a great time in the national park, with Dylan expertly guiding us. We were fortunate to have not one or two, but three moose sightings; not to mention a number of elk herds along the way.
Phenomenal tour. Phenomenal tour guide. Gabor made us feel taken care of and kept us upbeat on a cloudy day when views were almost nil. Highly recommend!
I had an amazing trip to the Rockies! Our guide (Braelee) was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. Great value, beautiful views, and very informative.
The tour was wonderful, mostly because the tour guide was excellent! Brailey offers information on everything from the history of each location, the habitat, and so much more. She truly is a walking encyclopedia, but interesting! Shes conscientious, patient, enthusiastic, and seems genuinely interested in her work as a guide. My fellow travelers were good conversationalists and fun to be with throughout the day. Thank you Aspire, for putting together a great experience.
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 didnt 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 Aspires website to ensure you are scheduled for the right tour. Overall an excellent experience and Id recommend Aspire Tours to anyone visiting Denver or the surrounding areas!
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!
We only have one issue to share. The back seat in the bus is too small to fit four adults comfortably, otherwise the trip and tour guide were excellent. thank you
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.
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!
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, theres 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!
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
Brailey was my tour guide and she was phenomenal. She was so knowledgeable about Colorado, the region, trees, plants, animals -- everything! The tour was a great option to get out of downtown Denver for part of a day. So glad I went.
Ryan was great! Super flexible and fun! We were able to tailor our trip with his recommendations.A very fun day!
The Rocky Mountain National Park tour was terrific. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, kind, a good drive, and connected with everyone on the tour. We saw all the best parts of of RMNP, and we enjoyed the whole experience!
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!
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!
Our hike and brew tour with Dylan was fantastic! We enjoyed every part, and Dylan was the perfect guide. We learned some history about the area, trails..etc.Brewery that was chosen was also great, cheers to you Dylan, it was great to meet you!
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.
Win a was both knowledgeable and entertaining! The views and experience was second to none. I would recommend this tour over and over!
This was an amazing and deeply satisfying tour experience. Its 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.
We had a great time on our tour. Scenery was incredible and Jenna was awesome! Would definitely recommend this tour.
Our tour guide was excellent! Very knowledgeable and informed. Really appreciate her very much! Beneficial to Aspire Tours!
Our tour guide Gabor was phenomenal! Friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He is a five-star guide. However, our tour, the Rocky Mountain Escape, was not especially exciting. We stopped at a touristy town where all the stores were closed, then at a lake/park that did not offer much to see. Gabor stopped roadside on the way back, where we were afforded stunning views of the Rocky Mountains, which kind of saved the tour for me.
Kathrin and Aspire Tours provided a great experience for myself and a group of friends taking a trip to the Denver area this past fall. They had great recommendations, service, and communication and went above and beyond to make the experience truly amazing. We appreciated all the care and thoughtfulness the entire team gave us. Would definitely recommend Aspire Tours for anyones next trip to Denver.
Personally I got disappointed with this trip. As most of our time got wasted in bakery and restroom/restaurants. Our tour starts at 9 am. After bakery and restaurant finally we reached cub lake trail at 11am. In just a 2 hr hike, veg sandwich is given to us at cub lake. When we asked why he didn’t cover Bear lake trail. He refused as it requires permit and refused to move forward or going to another trail, saying that he has to reach Denver by 4 pm. As this is advertised as 8 hr hike. It is only 3 hr hike = 1.5 hr upside + 1.5 hr downside. All other time is wasted.
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.
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 cant 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 wont regret it!
It is a great tour, we saw many wild lives and water falls in Rocky Mountain National Park. our tour guy Will is excellent. He asked everyone what we want to do and see before the tour started. He customized the stops to give us a great experience. Will studied Ecosystem management and Tourism in the Colorado State University. His sense of humor and knowledge About the park ecosystem made the trip fun and educational. He took great care of everyone on the trip and made additional rest stop at customer’s request. At the end of the tour, he got a big round of applause from everyone on this tour. Will, we really appreciate your great work to make our tour such a fun trip. Jenny
