Nothing spectacular, not very bad either
Anagha_S

I personally felt the price paid for the tour was a bit steep considering that it was just a drive that went up the mountains. The tour mentions something about visiting the 'Historical Society of Idaho Springs & Visitor Center' - but we were never taken there and neither was it mentioned during the tour.
Best scenes I ever seen

Good, but not great.

Summit of Mount Blue Sky was the only + thing! Cowboy Frank, our guide, tried his best to entertain us by jokes and stories, and some historical events. The company itself is not too good in planning the spots for the tour. Again, its not too bad but compared to other tours in Denver was pretty expensive with the added cost for lunch and tips.
Awesome views with Alex

Would definitely recommend taking this tour. Reservations are required to enter the park and driving on the roads is easier said than done. It was nice having a tour guide driving us so we could enjoy the stunning views. We also did get to see some wildlife on the tour.

Fantastic Day!

This was our first visit to Denver and I am so glad we did this excursion! We had a very comfortable ride to the mountain and our tour guide, Kristen, shared many interesting facts and stories about the area. We made stops at many beautiful sites, and the summit of Mt. Evans was absolutely incredible. We saw amazing scenery and wildlife throughout the day, and then stopped for lunch in Idaho Springs, a charming mountain town. Most importantly, the trip felt very personal - our guide truly got to know each of us while keeping us safe and comfortable. I highly recommend this tour!
A little rushed

Worthwhile Trip

The tour was great. A scenic trip to the top of Mt. Evans (fifth highest paved road in the world) and all the sights along the journey made the excursion well worth the time and money. Beautiful scenery, an abundance of wildlife, comfortable transportation (about 12 people), and excellent commentary by the guide made the trip enjoyable. The guide used a microphone in the van which made listening to her a pleasant experience ... although that accommodation sounds like a no brainer, I went on a tour (with a different provider) in the same size van and the guide had to yell (over the air conditioning) for people in the back to hear. Not enjoyable for the passengers.
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.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
