I booked the Red Rock/Echo Lake/Evergreen half day tour and had Emily as our tour guide. Emily was super energetic, knowledgeable, and a fun tour guide who made the whole experience engaging. She provided lots of great and interesting facts about Denver and even Colorado in general. If you have any questions, she is more than happy to answer. What I liked about her as a tour guide as well was ensuring not to drive too fast or bumpy for others in the back. She goes at a good speed that even people who are prone to motion sickness won't get sick. She also gave very detailed directions of how to take the optional trail walk around the lake and where to meet up. Emily focuses on safety throughout the tour so I knew we were in good hands. Meet up spot is right outside the Union Station/Crawford Hotel. They make sure to take roll so be sure to be prompt. There are also restrooms inside the station to use prior to your tour. The weather can be unpredictable so be sure to be prepared for light rain and cooler weather- the easiest way to pack is by layers (t-shirt, fleece jacket, and light rain jacket). Its warmer around Red Rock but cools down around Echo Lake. The tour took about 5 1/2 hours as you spend at least 40 minutes at each stop. If you're doing an afternoon tour and have a dinner reservation, I'd recommend booking it out later in the evening! read more

My partner and I took a sightseeing tour with "Colorado Sighteer" in late September. Due to COVID-19, obviously you all know that the normalcy in the past has been slightly altered, to say the least! However, our trip to Colorado was worth the risk and we had a very positive experience with what Will, the tour guide, showed us places that both of us saw for the very first time. We booked the tour through "Visit a City" app, which gave us options of tours and activists that we might be interested in a certain city. We stopped by the Red Rock Amphitheater, Breckinridge, and some historic towns in between. Will was a Colorado native and I could tell his love for mountains and nature. He had a soothing voice and shared just enough information for us to absorb. It was mostly a sightseeing tour, but we were able to walk around and climb a little bit in some areas where we were dropped off. My partner and I definitely took advantage of all the minutes we were out of the vehicle and took a good amount of pictures. Every activity we did was allowed generous time, so we didn't feel rushed at all. Other passengers who took the tour with us together were very nice and personable. Anyway, this tour was a great birthday gift to myself! In terms of the COVID-19 guidelines and protocols, the vehicle was sanitized prior to picking up the passengers, the hand sanitizer was offered at our disposal, all guests were asked to keep the masks on while inside the van. As we all know, masks are our best friends now, so embrace them and wear them well. Although it's categorized as a sightseeing tour, we would recommend wearing a pair of hiking boots to prevent falling from rocks or sliding off from slippery paths. I enjoyed every bit of the tour. I appreciated that "Colorado Sightseer" was able to continue to operate their business during this pandemic. read more

We booked 1/2 day tour to Red Rock, Evergreen and Echo Lake, our tour guide Phil was amazing on explaining the different areas we visited and during the drive in between locations Phil gave us lots of information that will be very helpful on future visits to Denver. "Thank You Phil" read more

Amazing time and sights. Cowboy Frank was our guide. He was extremely accommodating, knew so much about the state and kept things interesting. There is plenty of time to see everything with the group and go off on your own in Breckenridge. I would definitely recommend! We were back in the city by 4:30p and that's WUTH some unforeseen traffic. It was a great time! read more

If you're thinking about booking them: do it and never look back on your decision, just look at pictures from this awesome tour. Kristen (sp?) was a wonderful guide. It makes a huge difference when your tour guide loves the area and state as much as she does. I took the Red Rock, Evergreen and Echo Lake half-day tour and Kristin made sure we were comfortable and entertained the whole time. She had so much to say about the history, geology, and wildlife of everywhere we went. Five stars all around. read more

AWESOME TOUR! This was a great way to take in multiple sights, with a great guide! We had Kristin who actually owns the company, and it was very obvious that she is really passionate about what she does. You should definitely book with this company if you are considering a sightseeing trip. read more

We had the best time! Our tour guide Alex, (I think) was amazing and made our trip super fun! He told us many fun stories and facts on the drive there and took us to many cool spots along the way. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing tour views and great tour guide with Alex! Lots of fun and highly recommend!

Great customer service when you call them. Tour guide was very knowledgeable on everything never rushed us. Tour spots were worth the spot in the tour. Red Rocks, the city of Golden, Continental Divide, and Buffalo Bills grave site. Tour left around 12:30 and we were back by 5pm. The perfect amount of time read more

Kristin, the tour guide, was spectacular and so well-informed about Colorado and our sites. She gave us such an insight about our surroundings and more. She was so accommodating and resourceful! She totally embodies what a good tour guide should possess. My grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed Red Rocks, Echo Lake and Evergreen. The amount of time allotted to each area was perfect. Kudos to Kristin and Colorado Sightseer for such a memorable tour!!!! Joanne, Chicago read more

I had an amazing experience with this group from start to finish. I got sick so couldn't attend the tour I was initially scheduled for but they were wonderful and quickly rebooked me. I did the Red Rock/Echo Lake half day tour with Emily and had a wonderful time. She was courteous and hilarious and shared so many fun facts with us. Thousand times recommend! read more

We had a great time with our tour guide, Scott, during our tour. He was very informative throughout the entire ride and was a great host, offering water and snacks during the trip. The sights were awesome; especially the higher in elevation we went. We climbed to a little over 11k feet on this trip. The ride was scenic and pleasant; not a lot of traffic. The stops were very nice. At one of those stops, we walked a trail to the other side of a small lake and the was quite peaceful. The view from the lake were most photogenic. Also, on some of the more photo opportunities available, Scott would assist in making sure everyone got a photo of you or your group. Overall a very nice tour and would do it again with one of their others tours. read more

Is a ten-hour tour too long? Absolutely not! If I'm in the back of the van, will I be able to hear the guide? Easily! The Rocky Mountain National Park Summer Tour was terrific. Our guide, Will, is so knowledgeable about the history of each town/area, animals, survival techniques, and fun facts that ten hours flew by. In the back row of the van, we heard everything perfectly due to the use of a speaker system. Regarding sandwiches: My husband's tuna salad sandwich was soggy by 2:00 pm. The turkey and ham sandwiches were both fine. Thanks for making this an unforgettable tour for us, Will. If we're ever in the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to sign up for additional Colorado Sightseer tours! They were the BEST! read more

Great tour guide, very talkative and friendly. Not snowing on that day but happy happy to see the snow. 1/2 day tour to red rocks, echo park and evergreen. read more

What a great day with this tour company. Will was phenomenal. He was kind, patient, and efficient. He was funny and accommodating. The sights throughout the park were beautiful. Will paced each stop to perfection. My boyfriend and I ate lunch at a really good Mexican restaurant, Chelito, in Estes Park. The stops along the way were really nice. Thanks Colorado Sightseer. We'd definitely use this company again. read more

This is a review of the #7 Red Rocks, Evergreen, Echo Lake Tour. Initially, we wanted to go to Rocky Mountain National Park, but the Trail Ridge Road and other sites were still closed. We decided to go on a smaller trip with Colorado Sightseer, and we are so glad we did! They picked us up by Union Station, and our first stop was the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Our tour guide Christin was so knowledgeable and gave great commentary the whole ride. We had about 25 minutes to explore the Amphitheatre, visitor center, and gift shop. Next we went to the downtown area of this cute town named Evergreen. We had about 30 minutes to shop, get snacks, and browse around the historic buildings. After that we headed way up into the mountains. The views were amazing! We stopped once to take a 5 minute photo opp, but had the option to stop at 3 more places! My group just wanted to get to the lake! Also, Christin is more than happy to take photos for you and as many as you need! The lake itself was still frozen, but was still absolutely gorgeous! We spent probably 20 minutes out there. Christin brought out cute photo props here too! There were some cute ones and some pretty funny ones too. After that we headed back. Christin knew that some of us were excited about seeing wildlife, so she made a last minute stop to another park that had wild bison. Luckily for us, the whole herd was up front near the gate! We even got to see 3 newborn baby ones!! I was so thankful that she made the detour. It made the trip that much more special. The trip was perfect for us. We wanted to get out in nature for a little bit. If you're interested in being in one location for longer than 40 minutes, this tour isn't for you. However, if you just want to get out of the city and see a few of the gems that Colorado has to offer, I definitely recommend this tour!! read more

Exactly what I wanted! To have someone to drive me to the Rocky Mountain National Park and tell me interesting facts about the park in a relaxed and fun manner. I also didn't wanted to do hard core hiking, so the amount of walking was perfect for me. They were on time on everything. Thanks for an awesome adventure! read more

Just took my 3rd trip with Colorado Sightseer and it was amazing! Emily was our tour guide and she was very friendly and knowledgable. This trip was to Breckenridge with stops in Red Rocks, Georgetown, Loveland Pass, and Sapphire Point overlook. I really like the way the trip was structured and the stops were a great way to break up the drive (and see a few more places along the way!) We spent about 2 hours in Breckenridge- it was a rainy day so that was the perfect amount of time to get lunch and do some shopping. If the weather was better, I think I would've liked to spend some more time there. I've only ever had great experiences with this company. If you are considering taking one of their tours, I would absolutely recommend it! read more

Our Colorado trip would not have been the same without going on The Colorado Sightseer tour. Christin, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating. We went on our tour on a snowy day, but she made sure we got the most out of our experience and was such a safe driver. All 8 of my under 30 crew thought this tour was worth every penny! read more

Our tour guide will is great and he took us to a bunch of cool spots and said lots of interesting facts.

AMAZING tour AND guide! My husband and I booked the "Breckenridge Ultimate Full Day Mountain Tour from Denver" with Christin as our tour guide. Let me start off with our review of our guude. Christin was WONDERFUL! She had a lot of facts and tidbits about the places we visited as well as the places and sights along our route. She was able to answer the many, many questions we had. Christin spoke clearly and loudly enough that our group was able to hear. (Granted, we were a group of four! LOL!) Since we were a small group, Christin was able to manage our time so we were able to spend a little bit longer in some locations and shorter in others. Very, very accommodating with our group. For the tour itself, the locations for this tour was great! We went to: Red Rocks Amphitheater, Clear Creek Canyon, historic Georgetown, Loveland Pass (Continental Divide), Sapphire Point Overlook, and Breckenridge. This tour had a little of everything for us: views, quaint towns, shopping, restaurants, local landmarks, history, geology, wildlife, etc. Since it snowed the night before and we did have snow and snow flurries during our tour, Christin changed the order of our itinerary to get the best stops and views. We were all in agreement that itinerary order did not matter. We were able to hit every stop and got some awesone views and photos! The 8-hour tour did not feel long or tiring. Christin kept it interesting and informative. Overall, we would highly recommend Colorado Sightseers, Christin, and this tour. read more

Our last tour of our Colorado trip did not disappoint. Christin was an amazing tour guide. She is helpful, knowledgeable, and super sweet. We did the Red Rocks, Echo Lake and Evergreen tour and it was stunning. We wish we had a bit more time but of course that's how guided tours are. We would totally tour with this company again. read more

According to the reviews on the internet, 30% people are satifsied, 30% okay, 30% pissed. I was not very satisfied, but not angry either. So I booked a tour Rocky Mountain National Park 3 weeks in advance. The confirmation email said that all customers need to call the previous day. I called around 2 p.m. the day before, and the receptionist said that the tour might be cancelled or might not be. I got a phone call at 6:30 p.m. but I couldn't catch. After 7 p.m. the office was closed and nobody answered. Because I had a plan B, so as long as I can get a full refund, I wouldn't be pissed, but it is kinda late to make a decision. Not many people are so flexible about the cancellation at 6:30 p.m. a day in advance. read more

Wonderful tour guide, loads of fun. Worth every penny! Had fun and learned so much!

Found this after independently researching tour places. My girlfriend and I booked the winter ultimate mountain trip. We were picked up at our hotel by Kristin, who has to be one of the highest energy tour guides I've ever seen. In addition, she is a very helpful, especially when you want to get some good pictures! The highlights of the tour included eating lunch in Breckenridge, getting pictures on the continental divide, and of course, red rocks amphitheater. The tour we got was an incredible value, and was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend Colorado Sightseer to a friend. It's also worth noting that some of the older reviews are in reference to the former owner, who is no longer in charge. The husband and wife who own the company now are helpful and incredible people! read more

I went on the Rocky Mountain tour with Mike Pearl in early December 2014. It was a lovely trip with a convenient hotel pick up. Mike drove our small tour bus of 16 seats through the town of Boulder and then onwards to Rocky Mountain National Park. He took us to several key spots where the tour group would have opportunities to dismount and explore the area for short periods of time. After doing a small circuit of the Rockies, we were taken to local town Estes Park for lunch and souvenir shopping. (Try GrubBurger for a yak burger- delicious!) I had a lovely day seeing the sights but what made it extra special, was Mike. He is a very knowledgable, friendly and charismatic man who never ran out of things to teach us. I learned so much on this trip, while getting to explore a piece of Colorado! read more

If you're visiting Denver/Colorado, you have to plan a tour with The Colorado Sightseer!! It was absolutely one of the best tours I've been on. It was a lot of fun, very informational, and Alex was a fantastic tour guide! I will be coming back to visit Colorado again, and would be honored to be apart of another tour. Alex - call me ;) read more

Will is AMAZING!!! He is a great storyteller and an awesome human being. I speak for my entire family when I say that you made our trip memorable. I would definitely recommend this service to all who come. Again...thank you Colorado Sightseer and more specifically to Will who helped make this trip unforgettable. read more

Great guide and tour enjoyed the whole experience

We had Will as a tour guide, and truly it was like taking a trip with a friend. He was knowledgeable, playful, informative and was truly passionate about his work and the Rockies. He shared stories with us, showed us incredible sights and fun hidden gems. He laughed with us, shared snacks with us and made us all feel so welcomed. read more

Signed up for the Denver City Tour a few weeks before I was supposed to visit Denver. After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor as well as Yelp, it seemed like there may be times when tours would be cancelled due to not enough people being on the tour. That is totally understandable. To make sure that it didn't happen to me, I kept in touch with Heath. I made sure to follow up with him, via the phone, a few days before the tour was to occur as well as the day before the tour. He made sure to set expectations. He mentioned that it was rare to run 2 city tours in a day (one around 8:30am and another one around 12:45). Luckily, 2 other people signed up and our tour was a go. Seems like the tour will run with a minimum of 3 people. Heath arrived promptly in front of my hotel (exactly at the time he said he would show up). I didn't realize that Heath was actually going to give the tour. He showed up in a white passenger van with the Colorado Sightseer logo on the side of the van. In previous reviews, people have said that the tour van was old, etc. I didn't find that to be the case. Sure, it wasn't the newest vehicle, but it was sturdy, clean and the A/C worked really well (it was a super hot day). We were able to get out of the van to walk around, take photos, etc. a few times throughout the tour. While we drove around the city, Heath would talk about fun facts and the history behind certain buildings, etc. Having never been to Denver before, this tour was a good way to see the city and learn the history form the comforts of a van. And when we did walk around, it wasn't a lot of walking. Heath was able to answer most of our random questions. My personal favorite part was the tour of Hammond's Candies. Side note, for people who come an visit Denver, Hammond's offers free daily tours on certain days of the week. I picked up way too much chocolate and candy from the company store.... I would recommend this tour for people who have never been to Denver and want a good general overview tour. I know that Heath also offers tours that take you out of Denver and into the mountains, but I didn't have enough time for that tour. I chose this tour over the Gray Line Denver city tour because I thought it would be a smaller group and be more personalized. read more

This tour was really great! I did the half day to Red Rocks, Evergreen, and Echo Lake. Really exceeded my expectations.

AMAZING Tour!! Could not recommend this company enough. We did the full day Rocky Mountain Tour (Winter) and we loved every second of it. Our guide even surprised us with snow sledding and capped off the day with the perfect sunset over the city. Very informative tour. Estes Park is a must see while in CO, and no better way than the comfort of a van with someone else behind the wheel :) read more
