Overview

I offer my tours in English, Spanish and French.

This is a private tour cerified by the State of Colorado for private SUV tours. Let's explore Denver and the scenic beauty of the Red Rocks Park along with several mining towns.

Imagine that Denver was once not long ago full of Cowboys and Indians who roamed the mud filled streets of Denver. Now market street and Larimer Square (the area where Denver was founded) is now several blocks of swanky restaurants and boutique stores.

Leaving Denver we ascend to over 6400 feet when we visit the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. In the park there are miles of hiking trails that are intertwined with sandstone cliffs. Rolling Stones had previously ranked Red Rocks the best musical venue in the United States.

Onward, we will go up through several beautiful canyons past Evergreen and then upto Idaho Springs. From Idaho Springs we ascend to the old mining towns of Central City which once claimed to have the richest square mile in the world. .

This tour was exactly what we wanted! Brad customized our private tour so that we got to see all the things we were hoping to fit in this trip. He knew so much history to go along with the sights. Brad was very accommodating as we did not book until a few days before. The website showed that he was unavailable, but he managed to get us on his schedule. We will definitely use him the next time we are in town to see more of Colorado!!

The tour guide - Brad was awesome. He was very knowledgeable of the places where he took us. He gave us a lot of time to look around. He took us to a fabulous restaurant that make their own fudge and cook real Buffalo. Overall it was a great tour!!!

Brad was excellent guide and driver, only disappointment was that he brought sedan car in spite of we requested and paid for SUV or van, and with my health problem it was hard for me to get in and out. It did take out the fun of enjoying the outdoor scenery from a sedan v/s an SUV.
