Top 10 Beer Tastings & Tours in Colorado, United States

March 24, 2022 Jana Sager

Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

Our tour guide Jason was knowledgeable about everything and made us feel comfortable on the ride. If it wasn’t for the tour we would have never visited that many beautiful places around Denver . If you’re staying a short time around Denver this would be your best bet to see a lot of Denver . Well worth it.

The Foothills Explorer Tour with Braelei was awesome!! She was a walking wealth of knowledge. Her educational background combined with her life experiences made the tour highly interesting. She knew the history regarding every site we visited. We also recognized how passionate she was when encountering the wildlife. The drive in between visiting landmarks was full of fun. I appreciated the way she captured everyone's attention. Her delivery was also on point. We learned so much during the short 4 hour tour. I could have definitely spent the entire day touring with Braelei. I'm looking forward to visiting Denver and booking another tour/s with her. After spending half a day with her, I realized that we had a similar interests as far as outdoor activities but yet also so different. It should be a requirement to tour with Braelei when visiting Denver. I appreciated every single thing about her especially her personality. My favorite tour guide of all time. She has set that bar on another level. THANK YOU Braelei!!!

I would NEVER recommend this tour. We stood in the exact point where the email from the tour company stated. No one ever showed up, no email or phone call canceling our tour. I called the tour phone number more than 10x, left voicemail messages and texted the number suggested in the voice mail. I never received any communication from them In return. I prepaid for two people, I am fighting the charges with my bank. We even went to the distillery that the tour was supposed to end at and the manager said NO tour was scheduled/reserved an area to be there! We spend $25x2 just to get to and from the tour meet up spot. What a waste of money. Worst vacation experience!
