Guided tours
in the Great American West!
"Come for a visit ... not just a view!
Guided tours with fun and flair! If that's your goal, Congratulations! Because that is exactly our goal, too.
Let us be the first to wish you a warm Western Welcome!
My name is Gaye and I'm the owner of A Guide Out West.
After many years as a professional meeting planner, I decided to become a Certified Tour Guide. Hopping on motorcoaches and hosting private tours sure is a lot more fun! No more sitting in stuffy conference rooms for me.
I hail from pioneer families who came out West to get rich ... and they did! Sad to say, their fortunes are gone, but they left me a priceless legacy of western heritage to share.
Their story is all about boom and bust, silver, gold, and helping to build a frontier civilization. Now, it's your chance to learn the truth behind the tales of the outlaws, the famous and the infamous.
(Well, maybe we do admit to telling a few tall tales along the way)
The Wild West still sparks enthusiasm and makes history come alive. Come on out and see why!
If you want to experience my beautiful back yard, come along with me. Let me help you make special travel memories you will never forget.
If you want to get in on the fun!
If you want to see Denver, Colorado, and the Great American West through the eyes of a local who just happens to be a Professional Tour Guide, then ...
"Come for a visit - we're expecting you!"
Why The West?
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"
You'll experience a part of America you'll never forget
Why Do Denver?
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
It's time to see what's new ... and there's a lot!
New public art
New architecture and museums
New parks and attractions
A whole new Cityscape!

- How did Denver get it's name?
- What did 1893 have to do with anything?
- What’s a Tommyknocker?
A Piskie?
