Hiking

This was an excellent way to see Garden of the Gods and pike's peak. Our guide Mike was very knowledgeable about the area and was wonderful to talk to. I would highly recommend this outing!! See you on my next trip.

Excellent …service here we back next time for sure, I recommend thiscome here……we love this place.

The hike was great we didn’t have a lot of time so taking this hike with a guide was perfect. Ty was so nice and knowledgeable, we learnt so much and he made it fun for the kids too. Highly recommend!

My experience was incredibly remarkable. I have never seen a view like this before! Definitely worth going to and recommending.

This tour was well worth it. Our guide, Paul, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the sites on this tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone. My family and I really enjoyed our day.

The tour was amazing. It was everything that I thought it would be and more. Our guide Jed was knowledgeable and fun! The sites were breathtaking. The stops were long enough to see the sites but not so long as to get boring. As far as I'm concerned, this is the only way to get to the top of a "fourteener".

When in Denver, the problems withCovid 19 were enormous. With Two -rescheduled tours cancelled, we found Aspire for a private tour. Absolutely wonderful and well worth the premium for a private tour.Our tour director, Jed, was one of the most knowledgeable people (not guides, but people) I had ever met.

Our group of 6 had a great time on a beautiful day. Jed was an excellent tour guide and knowledgeable about more than just the sites. He knew geology, history, local plants, and weather patterns.

This was a very entertaining/informative tour. Our guide for the day, Paul, was very informative about so much along the way. He also had great a way of starting and keeping conversations going. The time flew by. Personally, I think he had a way of working some magic too.

Phil from Philly was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable of the area and fun! Beers options were excellent for IPAs and sours. Had a great group of people to tour with. Would recommend this to beer lovers.

Mike was an excellent guide, taking us to 3 different brewerys around the area that otherwise my husband and I would not have thought to go. Allowed ample time at each stop. Asked for our input on each brewery as to make any tweaks in the future. A fun and relaxing day

Fun breweries and amazing views. Dylan was a wonderful guide, giving history and showing rock formations we wouldn't have known to seek out otherwise!

Great tour. Whole experience was very enjoyable. Nick was a terrific guide. There was only one other couple on the tour and we hit it off with them. Besides the good beer the “views” were great too. We have been to CO numerous times but Nick knew the back roads and showed us countryside we hadn’t seen before. If we are in CO again we would definitely take another trip with Nick.

I had a great time on this tour. Every brewery we went to had great beers that were paired with amazing views. Phil was our tour guide and he definitely helped make the tour memorable. Transportation is in a small bus/van, water is provided. It's a good idea to go on this tour well-hydrated. Definitely recommend to put on your to-do list if you're visiting Denver.

We enjoyed the beautiful views! It was refreshing to see a different part of Colorado, as we were staying in downtown Denver. Ryan (our tour guide) was so hospitable and informative. We appreciated learning about the culture of the area. It was wonderful sightseeing with such a knowledgeable guide! Definitely recommend this tour!

Our tour guide Paul was so friendly, informative and very enthusiastic about all the info he shared we us. He even pulled over for us to view a herd of buffalo and a deer in someone’s driveway! I would recommend this tour to anyone. I especially loved his quiz at the end of the tour to see if we were paying attention! Great tour!

I went by myself and Michael went out of his way to help me get great pictures. He was knowledgeable and friendly and just made our trip a wonderful experience.

Steve was a great tour guide! It was a great little escape on what was looking like a gloomy rainy day. Once we got into the foothills it turned into a winter wonderland! Loved the cute coffee shop and the buffalo burger was tasty as promised.

I was in Denver for a business trip with little time to plan my stay. This tour was perfect for a half day get away to get to know about Denver and its history. Our guide, Kyle, was knowledgeable and helpful. The scenic views are amazing and breathtaking. It was stress free and very enjoyable.

24 hr stop over in Denver so looked for a shorter Rockies experience. This trip didn’t disappoint. The four hours flew by and took in some great mountain scenery and spots. Tour guide Elsa was great fun, really knowledgeable, excellent taste in music, and has converted my into a major Aspen (tree) fan 👍 Would recommend. Many thanks. Pete S (UK)

We loved this excursion! Our guide, Jed, was such a genuinely nice person who was very knowledgeable about the area and nature. We felt safe in his care as we traveled into the Rockies and experienced the twists and turns of the the ride up! We learned many things about the history of Denver, indigenous species of animals and trees and many, many other things. The write-up describing this tour is exactly what we expected - we did not need to be Olympic athletes to enjoy a mild walk through some of the most picturesque views of the area. We will definitely come back and enjoy another tour from this company when in Denver again. Highly recommend.

This has been an amazing experience. In a trip that takes only 4 hours, we were able to see, enjoy and feel overwhelmed about the wonders of Mother Nature. This experience was unique with the guide of Aaron. He is very well versed about the mountains in Colorado, so kind and made feel great with all the participants. This is a highly recommended tour.

From start to finish, this tour was wonderful. Our guide Gentry was very kind and considerate in addition to being extremely knowledgeable about all things geology and meteorology. She knew much about the Rocky Mountains and took us to some excellent sites for photos. This tour was so fun that next time we plan to do the whole day tour! Kudos to Gentry for all her excellent driving down those steep roads; she is a highly competent driver!

My best friend and I loved this escape!!! Watching the ice fishing and our walk through Idaho Springs was amazing. Gentry was fantastic. Highly recommend this trip!

Booked the 1/2 day fly-fishing trip and had an absolute blast!! It was my first time fly-fishing and David was a great instructor, sharing different techniques that allowed me to become really comfortable trying something new. His passion for the sport is infectious and he was always encouraging. We had a great day, caught several fish, laughed a lot, and I felt like I was hanging out with a friend, rather than just another guide doing his job. Can’t recommend enough.

My daughter and I did a one-day fishing trip to Buena Vista. We stayed in a hotel the night before. David, our guide, picked us up at 8:45. We went and picked up the boots and waders. The mile-long fishing area was about 10 minutes from Buena Vista. David was very helpful and positive. We caught a total of 7 brown trout, ranging from 8 inches to about 15 inches. All of the fish I caught fought and jumped out of the water during the fight. Although the day was quite windy and rainy at times, David was patient and helpful (my daughter had never fly fished previously). We fished both dry and wet flies. We made sandwiches for lunch and the company was actively working on the road to the site as we fished. There is a highway not too far from the fishing area, so you could year car sounds - I found I didn’t think it was overly disruptive. They plan on building cabins in the next year. Currently it is very primitive. Overall the experience was excellent and fun! Thank you!

I cannot write enough good things about our guide, David, and our half day fly fishing trip in RMNP. David was friendly and attentive. We talked a few times before the trip so he could make sure he had our sizes for attire, snacks we preferred, and plans for pick up time. We had never been fly fishing and David was knowledgeable and patient teaching us the basics to make us fly fishing enthusiasts for life! I was sad to leave the park and left wishing I had booked a full day trip. I will recommend this trip to all friends and family and this will become an annual trip for me!

As a recent transplant to Denver, I have now found my go-to tour company, Aspire, to learn all the things Denver (& Colorado) has to offer. I had always heard Colorado is known for its fly fishing, therefore, I signed up for this trip with ZERO experience. By the end, I am confident I could go out with my friends without a guide! Brian, the co-owner of Aprire and my guide for the day, went out of his way to make this a fantastic experience. I would not miss out on this special Colorado Fly Fishing Trip - I am already looking forward to my next one with Brian & the Aspire Team!

I took the hiking tour to the Rocky Mountains and it was hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had in life. Our guide Win was awesome. Fun, knowledgeable and with an extraordinary attitude and respect towards nature and people. His serene positivity really puts you in the right state of mind to hike the Rockies and immerse yourself in their pristine nature. We learned about the territory, its nature, animals and trees and I came back enriched. We also spotted a moose taking a bath in a pond, which really made my trip unique. I really recommend going on a hike with Aspire Tours if you want to get the best out of the Rockies.

Mel was awesome! I recommend this tour if ur solo with friends or family! They make it easy with pickup in Denver and boulder. The hike was doable just bring proper footwear, sunblock and plenty of water. Our tour guide Mel was so accommodating, knowledgeable, kind and down to earth! I can’t wait for my next tour with Aspire!

The hike was beautiful to say the least. Our guide Austin was soooo full of knowledge from every aspect of the tour From history of every building we passed on our drive to the mountain and info about each town. He knew every mountains name and how each was formed and how old everything was. The knowledge was superior ! His personality was contagious ! He made the tour so wonderful! The hike is just enough beauty and challenge! We got to see and elk and her baby;) the van we rode in was clean and nice. I highly suggest Aspire Tour company and Austin! Thanks for a wonderful experience

Wow!!! I was looking for a family friendly tour of Rocky Mountain National Park, and thanks to Aspire tours and our guide Kyle H our trip was spectacular!! Aspire had excellent customer service, and the convenience of pick up in Denver coming from the east coast was wonderful. Our guide Kyle was simply fantastic, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun, and he customized our two days perfectly for our family. We loved the iconic Trail Ridge Road experience, the kids smiles as they lept over the Colorado River at the source were priceless, and the hike to Dream Lake was phenomenal. Thank you Aspire and Kyle for a wonderful tour in this majestic place!

We took a full day private tour from Denver to Rocky Mountain National Park with Mel. She was absolutely awesome. From the moment she picked us up at our hotel everything was perfect. Mel was personable, informative and simply a wonderful tour guide. We went for a long hike to a waterfall. Lunches were packed and provided. The view was spectacular and the information constant. We saw multiple elk. We also learned a great deal about Denver and Colorado in general.

Kyle was an excellent tour guide! I was looking for a way to see RMNP while visiting Denver and traveling alone with my son. We only had one day to explore the park and wanted to maximize our time and feel safe. The private tour provided just that - I was able to relax and take it all in, not having to worry about navigating. Kyle knew the park and could help us pack as much into our day as possible. We had a blast hiking, viewing wildlife, and seeing the beautiful terrain.

We enjoyed our private day tour trip with Dylan as our tour guide. He took us to Trail ridge road with the scenic views and pass. We also went to Lily Lake - quite exquisite serene lake. On the way over we were lucky to see heard of elk in the meadows passing by Trail ridge road. Its an amazing experience and Dylan is very knowledgebake about the area. Very educational trip about Rocky Mountain Park. We love it as our first time to the beautiful national Park 🥰⛰ ✨ Amazin experience for first timers.

We had a fantastic day exploring with Kyle, our guide. He has a sixth sense on what's happening in the park from where the sun is shining to where the moose are gathering. So much so that we nicknamed him the "Moose Whisperer". We went deep into the park and found the sun at 12,000 feet on Trail Ridge Road and drove all the way to the Continental Divide. Lots of amazing views of the mountains above the clouds. Great tour!

Our guide Aaron was excellent. He was very passionate about everything he showed us and very much interested in making sure we enjoyed the whole experience. We saw, a Lynx eating a mouse, Elk, Deer, Eagles, an Owl, Turkeys on a tree. a water fall, we learned about the rocks, and trees so much more. Highly recommend.

Jed was amazing! We had the best day and my 3 boys say it was the best day of their life! Unfortunately the only wildlife we saw were deer but that's just the way it goes sometimes. We will be back and will recommend to everyone we know!

We absolutely loved our tours. We did the Breckenridge with Michael and loved it so much we booked the rocky mountains. It was totally worth the price and being able to see everything. Michael was so accommodating and enjoyable to hang with. Thank you guys so much for making our trip rememberable!!!

What a great time!!! Well worth the money. We had Ryan as our tour guide and he was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Haven’t been to Breckinridge in 30 years and it was wonderful. Love the little village vibe. Red Rock was amazing and will return this summer for a concert. Thanks for a great time!

This tour was well worth it. We were very impressed with this tour company, especially our tour guide JED. He was very personable, knowledgeable and professional. He had great stories and was very informative. We felt safe as he navigated and drove our group on this tour. We spent an adequate amount of time at the different places on this tour and never felt rushed. We would definitely use this company again!!

Steve gave a great tour with his 58 years of local knowledge. Awesome day of seeing Red Rocks Amphitheater, mountain towns, the Continental Divide, Breckenridge gondola ride and sledding as well as Izak Heartstone troll and a lot more. Definitely a great day with our 10 & 12 year old sons. They really enjoyed it. Make sure to bring water and there is more water bottles available.

The tour was amazing, spectacular, beautiful, my children and I enjoyed every part where we stopped. This was the first time my children saw Snow and they really enjoyed it. Our tour guide was Mason, a safe driver, friendly person with extensive knowledge of each place we went. 100% recommended.

Ryan was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. Beyond the amazing views we learned so much about the ecosystem, culture and history. Definitely recommend a trip with Ryan

Jed was an amazing tour guide. He impressed everyone in my party of 5 with his extensive knowledge about Colorado (Denver and the tour sites), safety and overall professionalism. The tour was a long - 8 hours felt like the whole day - but there was something for everyone in my group to enjoy. I'd say that the most popular stops were the Loveland Pass and the Red Rock Amphitheater. Because it was my first time in Colorado, I enjoyed the opportunity to drive around and learn about all that there was to do and see from small towns to ski towns to beautiful mountains. I highly recommend this tour for people of all ages, if you're new in town and want a safe way to explore, if you want to learn more about things to do and see, if you have a lot of time to kill... Do it!

We had a fantastic time on this tour! our guide Kyle was super knowledgeable about the area and kept us on time the whole way! Red rocks was beautiful, plenty of time to see the museum and the amphitheater! Idaho springs was a very cute town and the local coffee shop kyle suggested was really good! Finally he took us to see the troll at Breckenridge and gave us several good suggestions and showed us we’re we could take the gondola. It was a beautiful day and I can’t recommend it enough. Also, the drive back to union station was a perfect time to take a little nap or enjoy his fantastic playlist while watching the mountains pass by! You can’t go wrong with this one!

This your was so fun! We signed up for it hoping to see the Rockies and got so much more! Our guide, Ryan, was very knowledgeable and made the experience really enjoyable. The sights and activities were amazing. He even gave great restaurant recommendations after the tour was over. We had originally planned to do the half day, but moved to the full day last minute. We were so glad we did. A half day wouldn't have been enough. So worth the time and money!

Definitely a trip I will always remember every stop we made was wonderful and worth every penny spent. Our tour guide was amazing had fantastic recommendations during and after our tour. Highly recommend next time you are Denver!

Great experience and Dylan did a great job of making the trip both entertaining and educational. 4-5 stops with options to be as active as you see fit. Each stop was 30-40 minutes with incredible views. Would highly recommend for all ages.

Travelled solo but still had loads of fun. Group of at most 10 people with a guide. Paul was awesome and he really managed to create such a fun atmosphere. The views were breathtaking and the organization of the trip was spot-on, exactly 8 hours as specified online.

Brilliant day, great host and amazing scenery. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience the Rocky Mountains in a day. So lucky to see so many animals including the Colorado State animal, the Bighorn Sheep!

First of all, Jeff was an AMAZING tour guide. He was an excellent driver and very personable. He was present with us for the entire day and gave us his best. This tour is an absolutely wonderful way to see Rocky Mountain National Park without having to drive it yourself. We were fortunate to get up to about 11,700 feet on Trail Ridge Road. We saw many deer, and 2 herds of elk. Jeff pulled over for us to take time to look and take pictures!

We had a fabulous time on our Rocky Mountain tour. The highlights were the fantastic scenery, of course, and our driver/guide Nicholas. He is a careful, skilled driver and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Rocky Mtns.. He was able to discuss so many topics: history, folklore, geography and flora and fauna of the region. His love and knowledge of the Rockies was very evident. Highly recommend the tour company, and Nicholas

Aaron was a great tour guide. He showed us all the main spots in the park and also stopped frequently to spot wildlife. He was friendly, professional and hiked with us to all the spots. We would definitely take this tour again when we visit Denver.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative during the entire trip. The drive from Denver did not even feel long. The views from the Van were amazing. I love how time was given to explore some of the stops before ,during, and after the Rocky Mountains. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting for the first time or in town.

One of the most beautiful places I ever seen, great people I got to eat elk burgers I will come back for the summer .

What an awesome way to spend the day hiking while taking in spectacular views! This hiking adventure does not disappoint!

Amazing adventure, Mike is just incredible and knows everything about the region and its history. The group atmosphere was great also.

Our guide was Aaron. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, always accommodating and caring. I learned a lot about the landscape and wildlife and history of the park. The best part was using all the senses to explore the environment. I would recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and wants a fun day in nature!

Aaron was an amazing guide! He was extremely knowledgeable but even more importantly entertaining! This was a great way to get a taste of RMNP without renting a car.

We had the best day-it was a wonderful experience with our knowledgeable, friendly guide. We enjoyed the hike and cannot recommend this day in Rocky Mountain national park enough!

This tour was definitely a highlight of my short weekend trip to Denver..I am so glad I decided to do this tour. Communication with Aspire Tours ahead of time was quick and easy, and our guide Ty was top-notch! He gave lots of interesting information about Colorado history and the various ecosystems we encountered on our trip. He also made sure we were adequately hydrated and periodically checked on everyone to make sure they were feeling good and no altitude sickness. The hike was perfect in terms of difficulty level and pace. We had plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful scenery and take photos. This tour takes the guesswork out of visiting the Rockies, especially if you are on a time constraint. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to enhance their Colorado experience.

From start to finish, this trip was an incredible journey! Jed, like Jedi but without the i (inside joke), was the best guide! His knowledge of the Denver area, the Rocky Mountains, and the hike itself were amazing. The hike was easily the most incredible hike I’ve ever had. The views, far exceeded our expectations, and our expectations were high. I couldn’t recommend this trip enough! Do it, you won’t regret it!

I will always remember the most breathtaking views hiking with my daughter in the Rocky’s! It was such a beautiful day and Nick our tour guide with awesome! He was so fun, kind and informative. He knew where to stop and get great pictures and picked a wonderful place for us to hike. I would recommend this tour to anyone that is coming to visit the Denver area, my daughter and can’t wait to come back!

The views were beautiful and Phil was knowledgeable, patient, and fun. We had a great time. Signedup for another tour this afternoon!

A must-do if you are remotely interested in hiking, and that goes for for locals and Colorado visitors alike. Ryan was a phenomenal, passionate tour guide. He's not only intelligent about the area, but had a fun sense of humor. His guidance ensured I got to experience an especially scenic trail, filled with fun facts and stories about the individual mountains, the wildlife/birds, and the plants/nature along the way. If I'd of ventured to Rocky Mtn National park and tried to find my way solo, I'd likely of missed out on the extra-amazing photo opps, and my brain definitely would have missed out on learning dozens of fun facts about the area I just hiked through. The pickup/dropoff from downtown Denver was convenient as well.

Our guide Clyde was so knowledgeable about tips for adjusting to the high altitude, flora and fauna of the area, other areas to visit, and places to eat. He showed us incredible spots around several lakes, and we even spotted elk! Clyde was prepared with Yeti traps for each of us as it had just snowed the day before, also with chains/sand for icy driving conditions. And I loved my lunch that catered to my dietary restrictions!

We had a great time with our guide. Enjoyed the scenery, took great pictures, and our guide gave us plenty of time for us to enjoy ourselves at every station. Highly recommend to people who are traveling to Denver for the first time.

We went on the full day hiking trip to the Rocky Mountain national park and had a fantastic time! We felt well prepared based on the information we’d been given. Paul Kullman was an amazing guide! We saw beautiful views, had such a fun day, and we felt in good hands the whole day. We spotted elk and birds. Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and we learnt so much. It was our first time in the Rockies so we appreciated how convenient the trip was. We would definitely recommend this trip!

Great tour of three breweries in the Denver mountains, tour guide was very knowledgeable and great company. Lovely selection of beers too. Would highly recommend.

Gentry was extremely knowledgeable & just an over all super friendly tour guide. Would highly recommend!

The whole experience was amazing! Gentry was so helpful and informative! You will not want to miss this! Gorgeous views! Just make sure to layer up!

This was a great experienceI love the history
Love the viewLove the fellowship
Love seeing the mountains
Love the driving and waking experience
