"Great Way to Explore What's Outside of Denver"
This was our first visit to Denver from Hawaii and Las Vegas and Mason made the tour memorable with not only his knowledge but his humor. His patience with the group of four which varied by age was appreciated. He always checked to ensure we were hydrated with the elevation and was engaging throughout the tour.

Should we return to Denver, we will definitely take in the longer tours.

It is really nice to have someone who really enjoys what they do. Even "Alejandro".. a Mason joke.

We loved Red Rocks
Red Rocks was the highlight of the tour. We had a great time reading the lists of concerts that had been held over the years. The walk down to the amphitheater and then seeing the actual venue was breathtaking. The drive thru the foothills was interesting and our stop in Golden for lunch was a good choice. Very busy downtown with lots of shops and choices of where to eat. Mason was an excellent tour guide and driver. We had a good day. Thanks, Dona & JP

Denver Foothills and Golden - fantastic tour
What an incredible experience the Denver foothills and Golden, Colorado tour was today!! Mason was our driver and guide. He picked us up near Union Station right on time. We headed to Red Rocks, saw the Buffalo at Genesee Park/Lookout Mountain, went to Buffalo Bills grave then took the Lariat Loop to Golden where we had a great lunch at Old Capitol Grill & Smokehouse. Each stop was just enough time to check out the sights and get a glimpse of what Colorado looks like outside of Denver without having to rent a car.
The 12 person van was comfortable and Mason was a great guide. He was safe, very informative and fun!
We would highly recommend!
And Go Bills!!

Bucket list
Went on a clear, cold, sunny day and the views were perfect. The private SUV was perfect for having little kids and during the pandemic. Was able to see Red Rocks, mountains, Buffalo Bills grave and visit Golden CO. Would recommend the four hours to really get a feel of Denver and the surroundings.

What an amazing experience! Our tour guide Bernard was so incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and funny, the four hours just flew by! The places we stopped at were just gorgeous - the Red Rocks amphitheater was definitely the highlight. The van was clean & comfortable, and cold water was provided. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Family
We had an awesome time in our tour. Our tour guide Jason was awesome and very knowledgeable. We all felt like we were riding in a bus with someone we knew for a long time. That was how cool of a guy Jason is. This was my families first time in Denver and this tour was awesome. Thanks for a great tour!

Excellent, informative tour!!
We were a group of five on the tour which allowed us extra time to explore and venture on our own. Hudson was an awesome tour guide, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. From the beginning of the tour, right up to the very end, he provided us with an interesting historical overview of the different places we visited as well as various entertainment, dining and sightseeing suggestions. This tour was perfect, does not disappoint!! Thank you Hudson!

Very nice 4 hour overview of Denver area highlights
Yazz was an excellent tour guide, very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating for special requests. Four hours was a good length to see the sights and decide which we wanted to go back and explore more extensively. Large Mercedes van was very comfortable, and obviously well cared for. Will definitely consider ilimo for future adventures.

We had our original tour get canceled by this vendor at the last minute and had to scramble to find another option. They contacted us within 24 hours, but we were frustrated that it was due to not enough people signing up. No other options were available for the day we needed. It sucked!

Red Rocks + Tour
Absolutely enjoyed our tour with Mason. Our group of 8 was picked up at our downtown Denver hotel in a Mercedes mini bus. During our tour, Mason was great at pointing out highlights and sharing his knowledge of the Denver area and all the stops we made. We were dropped off and picked up directly in front of our tour stops, we never had to wait. The tour is great for getting out of Denver and seeing the surrounding areas. I would recommend this tour for small groups. It was nice to have our own mini bus with just our group. We really had a great tour.
