    Our tour guide Matt was GREAT! He was knowledgeable about detailed history of Colorado and made sure our group had an adventure. Matt is definitely an experienced mountain driver and we felt safe the entire time. He pointed out details we would have missed otherwise while traveling to our destination. Matt ensured we had plenty of time to sightsee and eat lunch while in Idaho Springs! It was a memorable adventure!

    Alex was a great guide and driver. The scenery is breathtaking. Alex planned our trip stops based on his knowledge of typical weather. Plenty of time for lunch in Idaho Springs. Monday is a good day for the tour. Traffic was littler.

    We had a great day with Hans as our guide. I don't think I would have wanted to drive to the summit in our car, but having an experienced driver is so much better. The sights were amazing, and Hans timed our trip well around the weather and road conditions. Highly recommend!

    The journey to the summit was just as spectacular as the summit itself. Our guide Alex was a virtual discovery channel. Will never forget the experience
