I am someone who is typically a little scared of heights, but I was totally fine on the balloon. It's very stable and not shaky at all. I loved the T-shirt and a little bottle of champagne we got at the end. Our guide, Ed, was fantastic at explaining what we were looking at and the mechanics of the balloon. I will say, you might get a better experience if you go in the summer because there will be more foliage etc. to look at, but it was still a nice time even though we went in the winter. You are not really that close to the mountains but it's still a nice view. If you do go in the winter, I would highly suggest having something to cover your ears and bringing gloves.

I am disappointed in Colorado Heliops. My son started their…read moreflight school 1.5 years ago. The Rocky Mountain Regional Airport is very busy and my son was having a hard time feeling confident to speak to the air traffic controllers. I asked if a flight instructor could arrange for my son to go with him into the airport's control tower to see how hectic their job was in comparison to my son talking into the headset. They said they had no arrangement for that. Unfortunately, my son took a break from his training. I pulled my $1900 out of his account when they told me it would not secure his place he went from 6th on their list to a 150th.

I spent over $40,000 and 2 years of my life at this school. The instructors told me to leave after…read moreI got frustrated about not making progress here. They told me that I do not have the skillset to become a pilot and that I should not fly. However, instead of falling on my face, I immediately finished my private helicopter rating in the third busiest class D airspace in the USA. I was finishing college in Denver, and did not want to switch schools and move cities. So, as HeliOps is the only rotorcraft flight school within 6 hours of Denver, I had to fly or drive 6+ hours to and from flight schools to finish my helicopter ratings. I have now finished all my ratings needed to be hired in the industry and have received a total of 4 job offers even before completion of my commercial rating. The instructors at HeliOps are manipulative and do not seek to create qualified, competent pilots for the industry. They say that you are the only one not making progress here (even though almost all students who have stayed at HeliOps to complete their ratings have up to 100 extra hours over minimums, or left and excelled at other schools). Another phrase they like is that students at this school end up with higher hours because they hold them to a higher standard than other schools do. However, students end up with higher hours because there is enough time left between when a student learns a skill (for example, an autorotation) and the next time they fly, so that their skills perish and they have to learn the skill again. Once that skill has been re-learned, it has now been 3+ weeks since the other maneuvers have been practiced and they have to learn those skills again. There are so many skills to be learned in order to pass a checkride that training can take almost an unlimited amount of time if a school is not focused on getting students past a checkride. I have used the same examiner for my instrument rating that HeliOps uses for all their students. They lie about the difficulty of the checkride, what items will be on it, and what the examiner will be looking for in order to justify the fact that they make many students repeat lessons tirelessly. The instructors of HeliOps have told me and many other students to see an aviation therapist/psychologist. If you go here, remember this review when they tell you to see one. To add insult to injury, a previous male Schweizer 300 instructor has been SEXUALLY HARASSING ME through Facebook Messenger. This HeliOps instructor has asked me to allow him to do sexual things to my friends and I, and when I did not comply with his request, he told me to go F*** myself. I write this review with the hope that at least one person will be kept from the pain and financial drain that I have been a victim of through attending flight training at HeliOps. Do not go to this school.

A recent experience with Boulder Transport was not good. My flight arrived at 5:45pm at the Denver…read moreairport. At 5:59pm I was instructed by text to meet the driver at a specific pickup location. I arrived there shortly afterward, but the driver was not present. I received multiple texts stating "take me about three minutes to get there," "3 minutes," "I'm coming," etc. Yet the vehicle did not arrive until approximately 6:40pm. As an older traveler with mobility concerns, I hired a limo service specifically for peace of mind and reliability. The vehicle itself was fine, and I did ultimately get home safely. However, the delay and the inaccurate arrival estimates created unnecessary anxiety. When I contacted the company the next day to request acknowledgment and adjustment to their charge, I was told I had only waited three minutes and was informed I am no longer welcome to use the service. I'm sharing this experience for travelers who prioritize reliability and clear communication when arranging airport transportation.

Now it may seem crazy to use a private car company, however Uber in Boulder isn't always reliable. It is also the same price so it made perfect sense. As a parent it truly eased our anxiety. All we can say is that they are amazing, professional, personable, reliable, and dependable. They have been amazing these last 4 years. When I called to talk with the owner Carlos to explain my needs he said," Do not worry we got you and your son"! He and his company have lived up to those words over and over again. Using Boulder Transport is one of the best decisions we every made.

The best part of my stay was the service - they were very friendly and accommodating because part of my stay was personal and part was for business and they allowed me to add a few days in the same room and a late check out. The main reason I choose the Omni Interlocken was that it's a few minutes walk to my company's office and they offered a corporate rate. I thought the rooms were good quality, nice bathroom, but I wouldn't say it was a very top end hotel. Just a few things that brought it out of that category such as a broken light at the elevator, a patio without a screen and maybe not quite as clean as a meticulous hotel would be. The lobby is nice and the bison tapestry is quite beautiful and belongs in a museum. I thought that Sheps was just average and there's a lobby store if you need basic supplies. There's a large mall nearby and a few good restaurants in the area according to Yelp. Boulder is about 20 minutes away and downtown Denver maybe 25-30 minutes depending on traffic.

Outdoors, the twin heated pools are beautiful, and the outdoor fire pit area makes for a really nice spot to unwind in the evening.  Unfortunately, the hospitality side was a letdown. Overall, the staff wasn't overly friendly, but the main issue was at the bar and restaurant. After sitting ignored for 15 minutes while the bartenders simply stood at the end of the bar, I finally took the hint and just left. You also can't order anything but pizza after a certain time that's not listed anywhere. It's a lovely location with great physical amenities, but management definitely needs to address the lack of attentive service in the bar area for some guests.

Maybe that was the purpose??? I think the concept of Colorado Railbike Adventures has so much potential and they could do so much more to make the experience unforgettable but unfortunately, there's was nothing that made me want to come back or spread the word to try this experience.
