Explorer Denver Tours consistently delivers excellent experiences across their various Colorado tours, with guides like Mark, Brian, David, Bob, and Robert earning enthusiastic praise from travelers. These guides go beyond typical tour duties by preparing thoughtfully for Colorado's unpredictable mountain weather with extra jackets, handling altitude sickness concerns, and ensuring lunch is taken care of. Reviewers repeatedly highlight how knowledgeable and friendly the guides are, sharing entertaining stories and local history while making sure everyone gets great photos and feels personally attended to. The tours themselves showcase Colorado's highlights beautifully, from Rocky Mountain National Park to Red Rocks Amphitheater, Pikes Peak, and the Garden of the Gods. Travelers appreciate the comfortable vehicles, well-paced itineraries that never feel rushed, and those breathtaking vista stops where wildlife sightings are common. Several reviewers mention the tours are actually more economical than renting a car and visiting independently, especially considering lunch and park entry are included. The value and first-class service consistently exceed expectations, making this a standout choice compared to larger tour operators.
This tour was awesome! So glad I decided to do it. Brian was my groups tour guide and he kept things fun but he also knew so much and was willing to share and answer all the groups questions. I did the Rocky Mountain park tour and it’s beyond worth it! The scenery alone made the entire trip! We got to see some elk while we were out too. The provided lunch was good. The trip lasts the 8.5hrs which felt like ample time and I never felt like we were rushed from site to site. Highly recommend doing this tour! It was cheaper than me renting a car and getting into the park myself- and lunch was included on top of it. Als, the bus you ride on is very comfortable and spacious.
