Great tour - It was a great tour around the area! We only had 4 people in our tour, so we got a little more time at certain stops. Kind of wished we could have had longer at certain then others, but overall a great tour.

Highly Recommend! - It was the perfect tour for a short weekend in Denver. We were able to experience the nature that surrounds Denver. The 4 hour tour was our morning, and the perfect amount of time to be back in Denver for the afternoon. The scenery, the mountains, the red rocks - it was all STUNNING! Highly Recommend! And Brian, our guide, was so kind and funny!

Foothills Explorer Tour from Denver - It’s a great 4 hours tour to take if you don’t have much time and you are about to leave Denver for a a late afternoon flight. Bryan was a great tour guide and I think we had enough time for each place we went to.

Great way to spend a half day - Brian was a fantastic tour guide. The tour was great for families of pre-teens/teens - gorgeous sites/views combined with a bit of history while driving from one site to the other.
