My family with young kids had the incredible opportunity to embark on a private sightseeing tour of Mt. Blue Sky, guided by Aaron. It was the highlight of our trip! Aaron is an expert in his craft, and his knowledge of the area and passion for the natural beauty of Mt. Blue Sky were evident. We especially appreciated that when Aaron heard we wanted to visit Dinosaur Ridge during our stay, he on-the-fly, added it to our itinerary. It was so thoughtful and made the experience all the more memorable! The day was well planned, and we never would have found the views, wildlife, and hidden gems on our own. Every moment was a picture-perfect postcard. (Aaron also happens to be a great photographer, so hello, next Christmas card!) Highly highly recommend!

Lots of wildlife sightings. Great guide. Good value for the money. Please remember to tip the guide - just polite.

What a fantastic tour. We went to Echo Lake, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, as well as Mt. Evans. We say sheep, marmots, bison and more. Our guide Jed was amazing. Not only was he wonderful to make sure we all had a great time, were safe, and not having any side effects of the altitude, he is a walking encyclopedia. Wow we learned a lot. Highly recommend this tour, and Jed as a tour guide.

I booked the Mt Evans tour but had to change to RMNP. Boy, am I glad that I did! It was a wonderful time and I got to see many different areas. Ken, our guide did an excellent job. He also had a wonderful playlist that we all enjoyed. I love that we got to see so much of the park with so little effort - just relax and enjoy the view. I was hesitant to spend 8 hours on a tour but the van was comfortable and the time flew by. Ken picked us up in Denver and we were in the park in no time.

Great time with my daughter. Our guide Izzy was fun and informative. She also played good music on the van!

Chris was an awesome guide and customized our itinerary for our smaller group. I would definitely do this tour again

The hike to the top of the peak is PHENOMENAL!!! And the stops he took along the way were so breathtaking. Chris is such a dope guide and awesome and engaging, he’s super chill but so attentive. I came alone and had the best time! Bring coats or jackets for sure! Parts are hot, parts are cold. Bring a water canteen!! You need to book this: the winding road up the mountain is so cool!

Myself and my sister had a great time sight-seeing on this trip. Red Rocks is gorgeous and everything from there to the summit of Mt. Evans was also incredible. Our tour guide Rico M. was super knowledgeable and clearly has a lot of love and respect for the area and all of it's nature. He was also always willing to take photos of anyone in our group along the way. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to sight see and spend time in the mountains outside of the city for the day!

We had outstanding guides: Nick, Jeff and Ty who were very knowledgeable and accomodating. The day was absolutely perfect. We didn't want it to end!
