I am someone who is typically a little scared of heights, but I was totally fine on the balloon. It's very stable and not shaky at all. I loved the T-shirt and a little bottle of champagne we got at the end. Our guide, Ed, was fantastic at explaining what we were looking at and the mechanics of the balloon. I will say, you might get a better experience if you go in the summer because there will be more foliage etc. to look at, but it was still a nice time even though we went in the winter. You are not really that close to the mountains but it's still a nice view. If you do go in the winter, I would highly suggest having something to cover your ears and bringing gloves.

These are separate businesses and Ocean First has its main location and pool in North Boulder. They maintain a retail shop here. My husband still dives and has always and will always make his travel arrangements through Dream Weaver. They are excellent and can book travel for more than organized dives. They have always found the blend of convenient connections and cost, no matter how far across the globe you need to go. Jane and her staff are easy to work with and we have always felt that we were not over paying for anything. We stopped in yesterday to just check what we thought was an anomaly on my husband's ticket for his next trip. It was merely a "place holder" for their log-in system to easily check on a ticket if necessary. Always a clear, straightforward answer from Jane, Lisa and staff. It was fun to see them in person this time as we often do most of the work by phone. But we were in the shopping center anyway, having just left King Soopers, and my husband needed some more reef safe sunblock for the next trip. He was able to buy it from the Ocean First side of the store. If you need dive and travel assistance in obtaining tickets for worldwide dive options , this is the place to get them. Jane and most of the team are all divers and they have great advice on worldwide locations.

Last week my wife booked Brewhop for an elaborate multi-destination event which included several…read morevenue rentals and performers with fixed schedules along the way. The morning of the event was very cold, as predicted by all of the local weather service providers. With several thousand dollars invested in the event and 26 attendees arriving at 1:00pm with the Trolley to arrive at 2:00pm. At 11:59am the morning of the event (2 hours before they are supposed to pick up the 26 guests), Brewhop sent us a text message stating that the trolley won't start and that they would have an update for us in 45 minutes. They also provided the name of a valet service we could call as a backup and noted "were still trying over here LOL". Thirty minutes later, Brewhop texted us stating "its gonna be a no go for the trolley's today" because they couldn't get them started. My wife spent the entire first hour of the big event crying and frantically trying to find any other transportation option for 26 people with less than an hour notice. We were not able to find another transportation provider in the short window and ultimately had to cancel one of the stops and one of the entertainers. When they canceled an hour before the event because of Brewhop's negligence in maintaining their vehicles, Brewhop agreed in a text message that they would refund the full thousand dollars we pre-paid. They subsequently changed their mind on a full refund and are withholding $200 citing the provision of their contract which states that $200 is non-refundable under any circumstances (even if Brew Stop cancels the service with 90-minute notice?). I'm not a fan of negative reviews, but our interaction with this company has been so absurd that I felt it would be irresponsible not to share this.

We selected this tour because it was presented as an art-focused experience with restaurant stops…read morealong the way. Unfortunately, the experience did not match what was described. The art component was a major reason we chose the tour, yet there was little to no discussion of the art and many of the promised explanations were not delivered. We were also told food would be provided throughout the evening, but aside from the first stop, very little substantial food was served and many participants were still hungry by the end of the tour. Most disappointing was the response when concerns were raised afterward. Rather than acknowledging the gap between what was promised and what was delivered, the conversation focused on pricing and refund policies. I would encourage organizations planning group events to carefully evaluate whether this experience aligns with their expectations.

It was a lovely experience led by the owner, Megan, and we went to various restaurants and shops along a 3 hour walking tour. Once you book, the tours are "rain or shine" and our day was particularly overcast with a mist but that did not dampen our spirits as we visited a number of hidden gems in Denver. 1st stop was for lovely empanadas at Maria Empanada and then on to some amazing chicken wings at Brider. We then stopped by a spice shop where I was mesmerized and was able to make some purchases at a discount offered to local table tours participants and we received a complimentary spice. We then went to Cerveveria where wea sampled some amazing beers, and then onto a little hole in the wall ice cream shop called Inside Scoop, with some very unique flavors being offered. Our tour guide explained to us that the pandemic hit the restaurant industry and done were very hard and more than 50% of the locations that she used to do business with and have tours for have gone out of business. She is adding new places, but her story highlighted the enormous impact the pandemic has had upon local economies. I would definitely recommend this tour. It ran at about $95 a person for our size group of 11 and was about 3 hours.

The Rocky Mountain Regional Airport is very busy and my son was having a hard time feeling confident to speak to the air traffic controllers. I asked if a flight instructor could arrange for my son to go with him into the airport's control tower to see how hectic their job was in comparison to my son talking into the headset. They said they had no arrangement for that. Unfortunately, my son took a break from his training. I pulled my $1900 out of his account when they told me it would not secure his place he went from 6th on their list to a 150th.

I spent over $40,000 and 2 years of my life at this school. The instructors told me to leave after…read moreI got frustrated about not making progress here. They told me that I do not have the skillset to become a pilot and that I should not fly. However, instead of falling on my face, I immediately finished my private helicopter rating in the third busiest class D airspace in the USA. I was finishing college in Denver, and did not want to switch schools and move cities. So, as HeliOps is the only rotorcraft flight school within 6 hours of Denver, I had to fly or drive 6+ hours to and from flight schools to finish my helicopter ratings. I have now finished all my ratings needed to be hired in the industry and have received a total of 4 job offers even before completion of my commercial rating. The instructors at HeliOps are manipulative and do not seek to create qualified, competent pilots for the industry. They say that you are the only one not making progress here (even though almost all students who have stayed at HeliOps to complete their ratings have up to 100 extra hours over minimums, or left and excelled at other schools). Another phrase they like is that students at this school end up with higher hours because they hold them to a higher standard than other schools do. However, students end up with higher hours because there is enough time left between when a student learns a skill (for example, an autorotation) and the next time they fly, so that their skills perish and they have to learn the skill again. Once that skill has been re-learned, it has now been 3+ weeks since the other maneuvers have been practiced and they have to learn those skills again. There are so many skills to be learned in order to pass a checkride that training can take almost an unlimited amount of time if a school is not focused on getting students past a checkride. I have used the same examiner for my instrument rating that HeliOps uses for all their students. They lie about the difficulty of the checkride, what items will be on it, and what the examiner will be looking for in order to justify the fact that they make many students repeat lessons tirelessly. The instructors of HeliOps have told me and many other students to see an aviation therapist/psychologist. If you go here, remember this review when they tell you to see one. To add insult to injury, a previous male Schweizer 300 instructor has been SEXUALLY HARASSING ME through Facebook Messenger. This HeliOps instructor has asked me to allow him to do sexual things to my friends and I, and when I did not comply with his request, he told me to go F*** myself. I write this review with the hope that at least one person will be kept from the pain and financial drain that I have been a victim of through attending flight training at HeliOps. Do not go to this school.

I was surprised that a kid with a blingy, lacy, frilly nature (haha, nature) would be interested in spending eight nights in a tent. She came home complaining about everything. BUT a month later, after a particularly grueling day at school, she said, "mom, I want to be out in the wilderness again." And she went again the next summer. The leaders and staff at TWWI have a genuine love of the outdoors, an uncanny sense of how to involve young women and their collective experience is unmatched. My daughter still keeps up with her fellow backpackers two years later. Definitely look into this for your daughter (or yourself). There are a lot of programs for grown-up girls too, which are on my bucket list!
