Overview

You don’t ride along—you DRIVE the Jeep! This is Colorado’s only guided tour where you take the wheel of a real off-road Jeep and follow our expert guide through the mountains near Denver. We provide the vehicle, coach you through every step, and lead the way on scenic, beginner-friendly trails with just the right amount of adventure. Perfect for families, couples, and small groups who want a hands-on, exciting alternative to crowded bus tours. No off-roading experience needed—we make it fun and easy. Just show up ready to explore! We keep group sizes small and never pile strangers into the same vehicle. If you’ve ever wanted to see Colorado like a local—this is it.

One of the best tours we have ever done!

Me and my husband absolutely loved this tour! It was worth every penny. The scenery was breathtaking. Branden is a great guide who shared his wealth of knowledge with us about the history and nature of the trails and towns. We will most certainly come back for the full day tour.

4x4 Excursion

It's a great experience, the jeeps were in great shape and the four wheeling had a ton of rocks & ruts. Brandon explained everything we needed to know. Can't wait to do it again.

Awesome! You’ll love it!

Awesome experience! Exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide, Brandon, was so fun and easy to get along with, plus knowledgeable of the history of the area. We would definitely come back and do another tour- we’re already talking about doing the full day tour. Highly recommend! Book the tour, you won’t be disappointed!

Weekend getaway- Jeep Adventure in Black Hawk was EPIC!! Book it!!!!

Our Jeep Tour was “icing on the cake” to a perfect weekend trip to Black Hawk/Idaho Springs, CO. First off all, the equipment was in great shape and trail ready. Next, Brandon (owner) had perfect communication after booking and at meeting /departure time. He took care to explain everything necessary for a fun and safe trip. However, the ABSOLUTE highlight of the tour itself was Brandon’s time on the trail. He’s an ninja when it comes to local history, nature, wheeling, and an all around amazing guy. He made sure to tailor our trip to our preferences on trail. If you book this experience 1 time, YOU WILL want to plan another before you’re done. Guaranteed. We will return. Support local, small business. You won’t be dissatisfied. We arrived as clients but are leaving as friends. From TN and CA!

Best tour experience of my life!!!

WOW! I had no idea what to expect out of the Jeep tour with Branden, but it was the best tour I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of! Branden started the experience with thorough and timely communication prior to the tour date. On the day of the tour, he arrived early and helped us feel at ease and excited due to his personable and fun personality. Prior to taking off, Branden went over all vehicle details and made sure we were safe and comfortable (my boyfriend is 6'4"). We were lucky in that we got one-on-one treatment as we were the only ones signed up for the tour on this specific day/time. It was perfect because Branden shared history and education about the area as we were driving and we were free to ask as many questions as our hearts desired. (We shared that we love learning about history and landscape/plants/trees.) Branden was driving a Jeep ahead of us and my boyfriend drove the provided Jeep behind him. Branden constantly gave positive feedback about how my boyfriend was driving the Jeep and made him feel at ease and able to conquer any questionable terrain. Branden made it a priority to stop at multiple locations to give us time to take pictures and see the beauty of the area on foot. Again, I cannot reiterate enough of how much we enjoyed Branden's personality. He is hilarious, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. If he ever noticed liter along the drive, he would stop his Jeep, get out, and pick it up. He really cares about the land and wants to sustain it's beauty and conditions. During the tour, we were provided route options and Branden gave information about each route so we could best decide based on difficulty, etc. At times, we would cross paths with others on the trek and Branden was friendly to everyone. It was comforting to know he is genuinely a nice guy and wasn't "putting on a show" for us on the tour. When the tour was over, he gave us multiple recommendations of places to check out/eat at in the area. He wanted to ensure we had a great trip to Colorado. To be completely honest, I have no desire to visit Colorado again, but I would *just* to go on another tour with Branden! I cannot say enough good things about our tour experience and Branden. I am recommending this tour to everyone I know and it was the highlight of our trip!
