10/10 YALL HAVE GOT TO DO THIS! - Just book it. This was an AMAZING tour. We did the sunset tour (seemed like it was more geared towards beginners, which we were) and Brandon was awesome as a guide! My best friend and I decided to this on the last day of our trip to Colorado and it was probably one of the coolest things we’ve ever got to experience. They were super good about explaining everything, the jeeps were well kept and the scenery was WELL worth it. Also, big shoutout to Alma. She communicated very well through our emails and clear with directions. Highly recommend doing this tour if you’re in the Denver Area.

I love Jeep tours!!! - The level of assistance and storytelling was fascinating; the stories were lively and captivating to hear, and the vistas from the summit took my breath away. This was an event too incredible to describe. The well-planned track is easy to follow and appropriate for every occasion. It is both enjoyable and demanding at the same time. The folks that were driving infront of me were really pleasant and delightful to be around. It was both enjoyable and motivating. I cherished the gorgeous vistas and unobstructed sky from the summit. In addition, the Jeeps themselves were incredibly immaculate. In the Jeep, there was essentially no filth, grime, pine needles, or dust anywhere. These individuals were so friendly, and everything came together beautifully. I wish it could have lasted a life time.

Exceeded my expectations by a lot - This trip genuinely exceeded my expectations. This is a real off-road experience where YOU do the driving. It was fun and exciting, but I never felt unsafe. So glad I tagged this in to my trip to Denver.

You drive w/true off-road routes! - Excellent off-roading (not gravel) with us driving! Brandon was excellent in calmly coaching drivers via Walkie talkie through the more challenging sections. Will definitely do again!

Great off-road tour! - My husband and I went in the Saxon Mountain full day tour with Native Jeep Tours and had a great time. We are familiar with off road driving with my husband growing up driving anything he could off road, so we were a bit hesitant that this would be one those boring so-called off road tours. But it was not like that at all. Brandon had great commentary throughout the tour via a radio that gave us some good history and comedy. The trail itself was mostly rocky trail with some more difficult maneuvers to tackle. It was a good combination of beautiful scenery, history, and off road challenges. Alma was also on the tour with us taking some pictures and doing some of the driving in the lead jeep. This is a small Mom and Pop business that we are so glad we were able to support. They offer different trails for different levels of difficulty. Go ahead and book a tour with them, you will be happy you did! We agreed it was the highlight of our vacation!

Simply awesome!!! - Our family of 7 people rented 2 jeeps, and we had a blast on our tour with the owner, Brandon. Great tour guide, great stories, super fun on the trails. So cool to see what the Jeeps were capable of. Of all the fun things we did in Denver area (and we did several), this was the best. Highly highly recommended!!!

Best Trip of the week in Denver!!! - With low-moderate experience 4 wheeling, we booked this trip. It absolutely overdelivered!!! Brandon and Alma’s experience, knowledge, stories, guidance, and paparazzi of our trip made it the highlight of our week in Denver. We took a route for myself which was more difficult and technical and my daughter with less experience - finished the drive back - perfect compilation for the day of fun. I was VERY IMPRESSED. You will LOVE this trip. 12/10 recommend

“ Exceptional “. Will not disappoint !!! - Wow not sure where to start. This was my favorite excursion I’ve ever done - hands down ! Our guide Brandon was knowledgeable, patient and funny as hell. We did the 1/2 day and it was worth every penny. We start by pulling off the road and begin the trek to the top of the mountain. During the trek we crossed several types of terrain which Brandon would inform us what to switch to 4wH or 4wL , as well as teaching us how to drive over the boulders and keep from getting stuck. All the while sharing stories and answering our questions through a handheld radio. We eventually got to the top of the mountain with an amazing view of St Mary’s glacier across from us. To top it off we passed an elk on the way back down. I wld rate this trip higher than 5 stars if I could. Do not hesitate you will not be disappointed!
