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.

Discover the beauty of Colorado Springs. Enjoy the beauty of Garden of the Gods, which has some of the most fascinating collections of sandstone formations in the country and was considered a spiritual place by the Ute Indians. Walking through the Garden of the Gods offers a unique experience among the rock formations. Often, rock climbers can be seen on the large rocks just in front of you. My wife's family from out of the country and remarked on how spectacular and beautiful the rock formations are. We will visit Manitou Springs which is an excellent place to relax, have lunch and shop for souvenirs. We then take the Pikes Peak road to an elevation over 14, 000 feet when we visit Pikes Peak and see why Katherine Lee Bates on top wrote the lyrics to the song "America the Beautiful ". Upon leaving Pikes Peak we will drive back to Manitou Springs where we can enjoy a Cowboy lunch or dine in Colorado Springs. After a late lunch we will vist the Broadmoor if there is time or perhaps visit Helen Hunt Falls.
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.
Brad our tour guide was amazing. He was very personable and friendly. He is also very knowledgeable about the locations. He went to giving very interesting and detailed facts. He suggested so many tips to make the experience even more memorable such as which spots to check out for the best views and even took a few photos for us. We would highly recommend Brad.

As this was our first time to Colorado he went over and above to help us get familiar and even offered suggestions for other travel plans abroad.
