Brad did a great job getting us to our destinations and had a lot of information along the way. There was a shield between the front and back seats for COVID safety. Would recommend Brad but would insist the vehicle be sanitized before the trip.

Devon was our tour guide and just like everyone said before us - he was the greatest. This tour gave us a bit of several different things- Red Rock, shops, Echo Lake area and Lookout Mountain where we saw the most beautiful sky I have ever seen. We even saw some Buffalo on the side of the highway and Devon pulled over for us to take some photos. Devon gave us a history the whole drive and answered all the questions we had. He was super personable, and super committed to following all the Covid rules! We felt perfectly safe spending the day with him!!! And we're so glad we did. A+ experience.

We were hesitant to book this tour initially, just because we’re so fickle. However, after reading all of the positive reviews we decided to just do it!!! It was amazing. We had Bree as our tour guide and she was so funny, so pleasant to be around and beyond knowledgeable about the area. You could tell she really enjoyed having us and showing us around! Could not have been happier with this experience and I look forward to coming back and booking more adventures with ACT in the future!!! So if you’re considering booking with them, don’t even think about it. JUST DO 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!!!

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.
