    We found the tour exhilarating as an occasion to come face to face with the real Americana - the Colorado Gold Rush. Our guide Will made the tour a comprehensive presentation of this page of the American history, weaving a captivating narrative on our way there. And a special bonus was the tour of the Phoenix mine with the charismatic Daniela, a true professional, with the knowledge of the mine and the mining process inside out, and more. So, we truly experienced the mine through her animated and captivating tour, including the tools and the process. In addition, she is such a vivacious and lovely person! A fascinating tour overall!

    We had a beautiful day to explore Clear Creek canyon, Central City, some ghost towns and the gold mine. Our guide, Will, was open to our questions & gearing the tour more towards our interests. We had a lovely half day tour.
