Definitely recommend taking this tour!Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The sights were gorgeous. we can't recommend this half day excursion enough.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kerri W1 contributionA great tour with Rico M. Went to three great spots and tried some awesome beer. Rico treated us to some extra sights too! Highly recommended.Written November 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- radusiqLondon, UK61 contributionsGreat experience and well thought-through trip. Comfortable ride into Idaho springs (2 guides/2 cars for our group of 7) with enjoyable commentary on the sights we passed. The hike is not long at all, less than a mile each way, but it is uphill, on the snow (spikes needed) and the altitude is palpable therefore a basic fitness level is required. Part of our group, unfortunately, underestimated their abilities - the guides handled the situation well and with safety of everyone in mind, while not taking away from the enjoyment and experience for the others. The hike itself is picturesque and the views once in the glacier great - but difficult to photograph, the photos really don't do this trip justice. The thermal pools afterwards are super relaxing, and the pizza lunch was delicious.Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Charlotte SRossville, Illinois, United States12 contributionsThis review echos what everyone else here has said: JUST BOOK IT! This tour far exceeded our expectations. The trail was challenging yet manageable, and the views were incredible. From the moment we met up with our guide, Brandon, he was friendly and so much fun. He was so knowledgeable about the area and the jeeps we were driving. We are big on creating memories through experiences and this one is well worth it. The only regret we have is doing the half-day tour. If/when we go back, we are booking the full day tour! Highly recommend.Written August 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Barb B6 contributionsWe had a wonderful time on this tour with Kristina! She's easygoing, flexible, knowledgeable, and engaging--a great storyteller, with lots of interesting stories to tell about the cities and towns of the Colorado Front Range! As long-time Coloradans who just wanted to have a fun day with our kids and granddaughter, we were surprised how much we learned on this trip, and the things in our home state that we had never experienced. The tour was a perfect mix between a planned adventure and a willingness to cater to the interests of our group. Highly recommended!Written July 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Vincent ARedlands, CA94 contributionsFun and challenging would best describe this adventure. The only reason this works for non climber is the guides. We had the two best guides who were knowledgeable and friendly. They make sure you are safe and having fun the entire climb. We did the starlight climb which was Awesome. I recommend wearing something that has a zipper so you can bring your phone to capture this experience. It was wonderful. I will be back!Written September 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Julie C7 contributionsThis tour was exactly what we wanted! Brad customized our private tour so that we got to see all the things we were hoping to fit in this trip. He knew so much history to go along with the sights. Brad was very accommodating as we did not book until a few days before. The website showed that he was unavailable, but he managed to get us on his schedule. We will definitely use him the next time we are in town to see more of Colorado!!Written July 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Corrin M5 contributionsWe had an amazing time fly fishing with Russell. While my son and I fish, we had limited fly fishing experience. Russell was a great teacher, so patient and kind. We caught and released 13 trout.Written May 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Lynn ROrland Park, IL115 contributionsWe had such a great day! Ryan is the ultimate tour guide! He shared so much knowledge and patience. He helped me up and down the parts I was having difficulty. He orchestrated the day perfectly. I learned so much. You won’t regret this tour!Written April 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
