We had the foothills tour with Elsa and she was very good. Although we also did the garden of the gods and pike peaks tour which was an all day tour with Bernard which was amazing. The foothills tour was shorter and therefore left a bit rushed in each of the places we stopped. If you have the time (and money) I would definitely recommend the garden of the gods and pikes peak tour as had some amazing stops and views. Although both tour guides were great, very knowledgeable and helpful. The buses were very comfortable and we got LOTS of water to keep up hydrated to avoid altitude and car sickness. Very good experience with both tours
Enjoying the sights outside Denver

This is a great way to get out of the city and experience the natural beauty surrounding Denver! You don’t have to be a skilled hiker to enjoy this tour; just bring some comfortable walking shoes and some water, and you’re set for a great four-hour adventure. We really enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend it!
Don’t skip this 1/2 day tour!

We were in Denver on business and still managed to sightsee a bit with two 1/2 day tours that were phenomenal. Through Viator we found Aspire Tours and thoroughly enjoyed Nick & Zach’s knowledge of the area. Denver and the surrounding area is just gorgeous and I highly recommend getting someone else to drive that is familiar with the multiple hairpin turns. Enjoy!!
Two thumbs up! Looking forward to booking another tour someday!

Nick and Zach were great guides for this half day trip to Red Rock and Lookout Mountain. Nick was very knowledgeable about the area and was entertaining at the same time. They were both wonderful guides and looked after our group with great care. Wished we had more time to go on the full day excursion
A really memorable trip

Red rocks amphitheater is out of this world. It is fascinating to see how an excellent venue for performance was made by combining natures creation and human ingenuity. After amphitheater, we visited foothills and saw a magnificent lake where we saw a large group of elks. Our tour guide Nick was fabulous.
Amazing views half day getaway

We had a great experience on this tour. Ty was a really great guide! His passion for the area and commentary kept us interested, even our 13 year old. Highly recommend this excursion if you don’t have much time but want to explore outside of Denver. Visiting Red Rocks was the highlight of our trip.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
