Dean was engaging and enthusiastic. A fascinating look into the history of the area. By his own admission, some of the details may have been embellished for... read more theatrical flair which made the tour even more entertaining for the teen and preteen audience. I really enjoyed his rendition of the early Aspen history and it was definitely a highlight to see the buildings built by Jerome Wheeler . This tour is certainly worth the time and cost and makes it for an intriguing look into the history of the area. Highly recommended!

Don’t underestimate how cold Aspen gets even in April, especially after the sun goes down— wear layers, hats, mittens, and boots!

Fun introduction to Aspen, from pre-history to today, with a knowledgeable, friendly, and conversational guide. - This tour is a great way to learn about Aspen’s history through the present, starting in the pre-historic geological events that shaped the beautiful valley and mountains we know today,... read more the history and culture of the indigenous Ute people, the silver mining boom and bust years, the emergence of Aspen as a world class ski destination, and as a renowned center of the arts—and as a haven for the uber wealthy, making real estate among the most expensive in the country (with public sector programs to offer affordable options for full time residents and workers). Dean covered all of this in a fun 90 minute walk around town, with stops at many historic and contemporary sites along the way. He is friendly, conversational, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
