      Insightful History Journey
      Our tour was the best. Visually we saw Aspen from the best vantage points and visited the city’s most beautiful and historic buildings. Most noteworthy for me was Dean’s perfect telling of the Ute creation story, and how the Ute valley came to be. All cultures have creation stories and they are vitally important to truly understanding history.

      Great experience on behind the scenes tour.
      Learned a lot about Aspen history and its present all the while seeing places we wouldn’t have gone on our own. Dean was great - knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend taking one of his tours!

      Walk through history
      Easy walking tour and Dean has lots of history to share. Would recommend highly for first timers to Aspen. From the ski slope to the river, we learned all about Aspen. Great after lunch stroll.

      It was fine
      This was "ok". Not hugely interesting or amusing. It is certainly a very easy walk. I wouldn't do it again or recommend it to a friend.

      Excellent tour of Aspen
      Dean provided an excellent tour of Aspen. We have visited Aspen in the past but his knowledge about the historical buildings and people that created Aspen was an interesting and worthwhile tour. I would highly recommend Dean if you are considering a tour

      Amazing tour!
      Dean was a fantastic tour guide, super knowledgeable and friendly with plenty of fascinating facts about the town! I ended up renting an e bike and exploring the Rio grande trail on Dean’s suggestion (I was going to walk it) and had the BEST time ever! Super grateful for his advice. Thanks so much! 😁 I fully recommend this tour to anyone visiting aspen

      Outstanding tour!
      Dean was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and patient. We toured in pretty cold weather and it didn’t impact his tour at all. Communication prior to the tour was really good as well. Thanks, Dean!

      Great way to learn about Aspen in an hour
      Dean’s tour was excellent! You learn about the past and present. He will answer any questions you have and make great suggestions for activities and restaurants. I loved hearing all about Aspen and what is was like to live here long ago and today. Highly recommend.

      Unique perspective on the history of Aspen
      Dean is very knowledgeable about the history of Ute Cemetery. He tells stories like he is talking about people that he has known which makes this tour honoring of those buried here. He provides details that convey much about life in Aspen in the 1880's. This is a great tour in a beautiful location. I plan to take this tour again.

      Aspen tour
      Although we've been to Aspen many times before we had never done a tour. We were delighted to learn more about the interesting history of the town from Dean, including interesting facts about some of the buildings and parks. It was a nice walk and very entertaining. Highly recommend!

    Great tour. Dean was very personable. He is incredibly knowledgeable and conducts excellent research to support the narrative. The length of tour and walking loop of Aspen was the perfect amount. Sincere presentation. We learned several interesting stories about Aspen that we probably wouldn't have learned anywhere else.

    What an amazing tour! We learned so much history about Aspen, and the ghost stories were great. Dean is an excellent storyteller, and I found that the time flew by. He was mindful of safety as we crossed the street (it was dark) and engaged us in conversation as we walked. This was a great way to explore Aspen's downtown with a very knowledgeable local and learn more about the history of the town.

    My husband and I took the walking tour last night. Dean was an awesome storyteller; we’re in our honeymoon and thought, why not take advantage of a ghost tour. We learned so much about Aspen and local supernatural history/legend. Well worth the 9 degree weather!! We love mysteries, stories of hauntings and this tour delivered!!!

    Excellent history of Aspen in a fun atmosphere. An entertaining way to spend your evening. Also nice to be able to do something outdoors in the evening. Dean is a very good story teller and kept us amused.

    We took Dean’s Ghost tour on a chilly June evening. Dean was great, you can tell he loves what he does. Not only does he share local ghost stories and folklore, but he also shares a lot of Aspen’s history. Highly recommend spending an hour with Dean, it’s an easy walk around town!!
