With so much to see and do in this state, it’s often best to go with an organized tour. Most are available year-round, and range from city tours, Segway tours, walking tours, bike tours, motorcycle tours, bar crawls, and haunted ghost tours, helicopter rides, among many other guided excursions.
List of Scavenger Hunts, Walking, and Ghost Tours
What better way to see a city than by going walkabout? Small group tours of certain cities and historic towns are available. Go after dark for a unique ghost town, available in towns like Denver, Salida, and Fort Collins.
List of Jeep Tours
Renting a Jeep is another spectacular way to get off the beaten path. These high-clearance 4x4s can go on old mining roads that most passenger cars cannot. Guided tours are available with most of these companies, so you can sit back and sightsee instead of worrying about the hair-raising switchbacks you’re driving on.
List of Helicopter Tours
One of the most unique ways to see the Colorado Rockies is by helicopter. Aside from heli-skiing, with a few locations around Colorado, the other place to climb aboard a helicopter for a one-of-a-kind experience is at the Royal Gorge. The same company also leads trips flying to Pikes Peak and other sights in this region.
List of Segway Tours
As silly as they look, everyone wants to ride a Segway. Combined this unique, thrilling experience with an interesting, informative tour. Friendly, knowledgeable guides are happy to share everything they know with their guests. Most Segway tours run year-round.
List of Other Unique Tours
If you happen to be in the Roaring Fork Valley, head down to Aspen for a ride in The Ultimate Taxi. This is a one-of-a-kind attraction where the journey is the destination, and the sightseeing is more inside the car than out.
