    Excellent
    649 reviews•Google Maps

    Explorer Denver Tours consistently delivers excellent experiences across their various Colorado tours, with guides like Mark, Brian, David, Bob, and Robert earning enthusiastic praise from travelers. These guides go beyond typical tour duties by preparing thoughtfully for Colorado's unpredictable mountain weather with extra jackets, handling altitude sickness concerns, and ensuring lunch is taken care of. Reviewers repeatedly highlight how knowledgeable and friendly the guides are, sharing entertaining stories and local history while making sure everyone gets great photos and feels personally attended to. The tours themselves showcase Colorado's highlights beautifully, from Rocky Mountain National Park to Red Rocks Amphitheater, Pikes Peak, and the Garden of the Gods. Travelers appreciate the comfortable vehicles, well-paced itineraries that never feel rushed, and those breathtaking vista stops where wildlife sightings are common. Several reviewers mention the tours are actually more economical than renting a car and visiting independently, especially considering lunch and park entry are included. The value and first-class service consistently exceed expectations, making this a standout choice compared to larger tour operators.

    Brian is an excellent guide. He was very kind and attentive, always clear with his explanations and genuinely gentle at all times. The tour was a 10/10, amazing selection of stops and spots. I would definitely travel with you again.
