Guided Sightseeing Tours

"Howdy Folks!"

Our Guided Sightseeing Tours are not only refreshingly different. We believe that when you choose a Sightseeing Guide to lead the way in and around Colorado, it should be with a good dose of our famous western fun and flair!

My name is Gaye
and I'm the Founder of
A Guide Out West.
I'm the great-granddaughter
of local pioneers who
came to Colorado to get rich
in the gold mines.

Rich in the Colorado gold mines?
(I think I'll save that story for when we meet
on your guided sightseeing tour!)

"I enjoy such a unique perspective. My Colorado
(and every Western state)
is absolutely fascinating …
and I love sharing all of it
with visitors
from the world over!"

"Come along with me!"
or one of our
Premier Colorado
Sightseeing Guides.
Let us help you make
those special travel memories
you will never forget.


The Wild West still sparks enthusiasm and makes history come alive. Come on out and see why!

It's sorta like what you have seen on television or in the movies.
Our western pioneer stories are all about boom and bust,
silver and gold bonanzas, and what it required
to build a frontier civilization.

Now, it's your chance to learn the truth
behind the tales of the native Americans, the outlaws,
the famous and the infamous.

"Well, (maybe!) we might admit
to telling a few tall tales along the way"

Why The West?
You'll experience a part of America you'll never forget

Because you have already seen the movies and read the books

Because of our ancient canyons and majestic mountains

Because your custom guided tour is private, with personal service

Because Native Americans called us "The Land of the Long Look"

Why Denver?
You'll experience a part of America you'll never forget

Because we are the Gateway City to so many natural wonders

Because of old favorites; Larimer Square & the 16th Street Mall

Because of new favorites; too many to mention

Because a guided tour with our Certified Guides is so easy to arrange

Because Denver is changing before our very eyes,
and it's time to see what's new ... there's a lot going on! 
New public art
New architecture and museums
New parks and attractions
A whole new Cityscape, with new construction every day
