Hello my name is Brad and welcome to the great state of Colorado. Colorado is truly a hidden treasure of mountain beauty, rolling meadows with all kinds of animal life such as elk, deep, mousse, and black bear, not to mention the 300 species of birds that populate our parks. Within an hour or two of Denver there are natural hot springs, mountain lakes, and panoramic views of mountain ranges. Of course you don't even have to go that far for great site seeing, hiking, biking or just walking around as the foothills are only 20 minutes from Denver. Although I am from Peoria Illinois I have lived in Colorado for over 29 years, therefore I am very close to being a native Coloradan. We locals call that being a "Semi-Native!" As a child I spent 10 years in Europe and I have lived in Mexico as an adult. This experience has given me a passion for traveling as well as a desire to learn about different cultures. For these reasons I believe that I am an excellent tour guide for Denver and the rest of Colorado. Gold fever may have established Denver and brought many people out west, but today people come as it has over 300 days of sunshine, mountain biking, snow skiing and some of the best hiking in the world. The town is rich in the history of cowboys and Indians, as well as old mining towns where gold and silver were discovered. I will bring both these old cowboy stories and new ones to life. Being a guide for the Denver Colorado area, my foremost desire is to give the customer an idea of how the Old West town of Denver was formed and show the contrast in the new Denver of today. The history combined with the natural beauty of the mountains will help you fall in love with Denver and the surrounding mountains as I did many years ago. I am extremely flexible and if you need to tweak a tour I have the ability to customize my tours. In addition if you have more than five people I can get access to a larger vehicle and thus I could handle a much larger group. Feel free to message me through ToursByLocals for any customization of a tour. It is truly a privilege to live in Colorado and work as a tour guide. I hope to see you in Colorado soon! My vehicule is a SUV that is commercially insured and licenced. PUC certification is required to drive paying passengers in the state. All commercial vehicules that carry paid passagers are required to have commercial insurance in Colorado. I have the requiered PUV certification along with the specialized commercial insurance. IGA certifed as: - Tour Guide - Tour Manager - I have 10 years as a professional tour guide in the Colorado area. - CPR and First Aid certified. I do not have any restrictions.

Overview of your Denver tour
Let's explore Denver where gold was first found at the scenic area of Confluence Park. Imagine, this area was once not too long ago full of cowboys and Native Indians, and where they first set up their homes and tepees. Venture into the historic LoDo where General Larimer first established Denver, but now this area is a block of swanky restaurants and boutiques like the artsy RiNo area. Leaving Denver we ascend to over 6, 400 feet and visit The Red Rocks Park Amphitheater. There are miles of hiking trails intertwined with cinnameron-hued sandstone cliffs offer incredible views of downtown Denver. I have been to several concerts there and I understand why Rolling Stones has said it was the best music venture anywhere. I attended a wonderful Gypsy Kings Concert there several years ago. Onward, we will go to the top of Lookout Mountain and visit the gravesite of Buffalo Bill. After you hear some amazing stories about his life and his accomplishments, we descend to the quaint cowboy town of Golden.

Brad was wonderful. He was able to give us a custom tour due to our change of flights. We toured amazing Denver highlights and then headed to the Rockies. He knew the best spot for lunch with world class hamburgers!We saw quaint mining towns , the red rocks and he even managed to know all the backroads to avoid the terrible Sunday I70 traffic. A careful driver, a knowledgeable guide and genuinely nice person, he made our trip to Denver a stellar experience,

Rebecca H.United States
Brad provided a wonderfully relaxed scenic tour of the mountains for us. We hit Buffalo Bills gravesite on Look out mountain, went to the Red rocks Amphitheater and then off to a gorgeous little out of the way town for lunch. We enjoyed the conversation and the bits of knowledge Brad provided us. Great day!
Phoebe H.
We experienced 2 outstanding days on tour with Brad. He is an exceptional guide with expert knowledge and friendly personality. We appreciated his attentiveness and personal touches. After our second day, we recognized that Brad is consistently superior in his profession. The drive up and down Pikes Peak was wonderfully exciting and we were glad he was driving. We are so appreciative of the 2 days of touring with Brad. He is a wonderful representative of ToursByLocals.
