Explorer Tours

Where Colorado Comes to Life.

Today we’re shining a spotlight on Robert—one of those rare guides who turns a great tour into an unforgettable experience. Cynthia said it best (see review 👇), and if you’ve toured with Robert, you know… he truly goes the extra mile.

From guiding in the Grand Canyon to leading adventures across West Africa, India, and the Far East, Robert brings a global perspective—and a storyteller’s heart—to every mile. He’s passionate about people, the outdoors, and sharing the magic of Colorado in a way that sticks with you long after the tour ends.

🎬 Fun fact: Robert worked as a stuntman for Paramount Pictures and was part of the Academy Award-winning film Terms of Endearment.

This is what makes Explorer Tours special—guides who don’t just lead the journey, they elevate it.



We thought we signed up for a tour.

What we actually got was:

* a mobile classroom
* a hydration station
* an altitude survival guide
* and a man named Robert who has apparently been everywhere on Earth and decided to emotionally connect it all back to Denver

We learned things. A LOT of things.
Like… “wait, why is this so interesting??” levels of things.

We voted on stops. We influenced the journey.
Democracy? On a tour bus? Revolutionary.

Highlights include:

* Red Rocks making us feel spiritually superior
* Buffalo hiding in the hills like Bill was on our tour
* Elk just casually existing like they own the place (they do)
* Buffalo Bill’s grave because of course that’s a thing
* Evergreen Lake where we consumed a crookie (life-changing)
* Skateboarders performing like we accidentally attended the X Games
* Downtown Golden where we fashionista-ed in a boutique and blissed out on a river walk

Meanwhile:
Robert is mic’d up like a TED Talk
Handing out water, snacks, and Gatorade like a wellness influencer
Monitoring altitude like a concerned parent
Adjusting temperature like a luxury vehicle setting

We were:
educated
hydrated
emotionally supported

And somehow also entertained the entire time.

10/10
Would trust Robert with my life, hydration levels, and travel itinerary again.

Eric had an absolute blast showing Ashley and Krista around Rocky Mountain National Park—and let’s just say, they may have been the best-dressed guests we’ve ever had.

Even the wildlife couldn’t look away… pretty sure a few elk were doing double takes. 🦌

From alpine views to unforgettable laughs, this is what a day in the mountains is all about.
