About this experience
I offer my tours in English, Spanish and French. This is a private tour cerified by the State of Colorado for private SUV tours. Let's explore Denver and the scenic beauty of the Red Rocks Park along with several mining towns. Imagine that Denver was once not long ago full of Cowboys and Indians who roamed the mud filled streets of Denver. Now market street and Larimer Square (the area where Denver was founded) is now several blocks of swanky restaurants and boutique stores. Leaving Denver we ascend to over 6400 feet when we visit the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. In the park there are miles of hiking trails that are intertwined with sandstone cliffs. Rolling Stones had previously ranked Red Rocks the best musical venue in the United States. Onward, we will go up through several beautiful canyons past Evergreen and then upto Idaho Springs. From Idaho Springs we ascend to the old mining towns of Central City which once claimed to have the richest square mile in the world. .

Perfect Colorado adventure!
This 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!!

Great Private Tour
Brad was great- offered fun and useful information. Picked us up at our hotel and brought us to all the downtown/RiNo sights before heading to Red Rock and mining towns. Excellent day!

Fabulous Tour
The tour guide - Brad was awesome. He was very knowledgeable of the places where he took us. He gave us a lot of time to look around. He took us to a fabulous restaurant that make their own fudge and cook real Buffalo. Overall it was a great tour!!!
via Viator
Good trip but disappointing due to my handicap of being in a Sedan
Brad was excellent guide and driver, only disappointment was that he brought sedan car in spite of we requested and paid for SUV or van, and with my health problem it was hard for me to get in and out. It did take out the fun of enjoying the outdoor scenery from a sedan v/s an SUV.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private customized tour of Denver, Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and mining towns.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Denver.
How much does Private customized tour of Denver, Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and mining towns. cost?
+
Prices start at $455 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Denver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private customized tour of Denver, Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and mining towns. take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Denver is not rushed.
Is Private customized tour of Denver, Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and mining towns. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Denver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private customized tour of Denver, Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and mining towns.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private customized tour of Denver, Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and mining towns. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private customized tour of Denver, Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and mining towns.?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Denver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Denver and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private customized tour of Denver, Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and mining towns. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Denver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Denver?
+
Denver is a launch pad. Rocky Mountain National Park, Pikes Peak, Red Rocks and the Georgetown rail loop all run as day trips, and altitude makes the timing of your first hike matter. In town: brewery crawls, Union Station food walks and Red Rocks show nights. We rank mountain operators on van size, pace and whether they build in altitude acclimatisation. On Outty we rank every Denver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Downtown Denver Food Tour, Twilight Ghost Tour, Small Group Tour of Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods from Denver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Denver?
+
June to September for open mountain passes, or December to March for ski shuttles. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Denver?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
