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!!!

This was the highlight of our short 4 day stay in Santa Monica. We definitely enjoyed walking to the Pier and surrounding areas daily, but we wanted to see the highlights of LA as well. Eight people on our party booked this tour and we couldn’t have been more happy that we did! We covered so much ground in a short period of time. Sure, we wanted to hang out on Rodeo Drive a little longer or stroll Hollywood Blvd more, but it’s a way to experience many places in about 8 hours. Alecia was knowledgeable, kind, professional & hilarious!! We enjoyed the other parties on the bus as well. This is a plus since you never know who’s gonna be on a tour with you. We saw our tour “friends” later at dinner and we were very cordial and chatted a bit more. My son was celebrating his 13th birthday (purpose of our Cali visit). When Alecia found out, she led the bus in singing Happy Birthday to him. She always played a song for him before dropping us off at our hotel. Talk about making the tour extra special! She even remembered my brother’s name. Maybe not a big deal to some, but it was to us. Alecia gave detailed and easy to follow directions each time before we explored a new area (where she’d be, how to remember where to meet up, public restrooms &WiFi, what to do if we encountered a celebrity). Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills (Rodeo Drive), Farmer’s Market Griffith Observatory, Hollywood, and more! The bus was very nice! Clean, air conditioned and phone/device charging capabilities!! Thank you, Alecia!!!

Scenic and funny tour emceed by a former Mormon (he said) Great scenery and entertaining narrative Wish we could gone into the bowels of the dam but that may never happen again with the Covid around. Had a great lunch on the way back and the price for the tour is reasonable especially compared to the outrageous menus on the strip

Can’t imagine spending a # of days in Nashville w/out braking away to see the Jack Daniels Distillery. So-Worth-It. Yes, you could rent a car & drive the 1.5hrs to Jack Daniels yourself, but leaving the driving (& the tickets to the distillery) to these guys is the relaxing way to go about it. Our driver was personable & got us to/from Jack D on schedule. Recommended things (like lunch) that were helpful. Trip itinerary was good. Bus was good. Driver was good. Tour was great. Recommend this company & this tour.

We learned a good amount about Austin. There was pre-recorded narrative as well as a driver/guide. The guide continually talked while the pre-recorded narrative was playing. This was very annoying.
