  Get the backstory about Aspen!  - Dean is knowledgeable and very friendly. He is willing to share his knowledge about Aspen with his guests. No need to wonder around on your own through the streets... read more of Aspen and wonder what this or that is. He will give you the back story and so much more. Loved his tour.

  It is evident that Dean takes his role as a tour guide very seriously and spends an extraordinary amount of time researching and formulating his tours. His storytelling capabilities... read more are superior, as is knowledge of the area.

  What an amazing tour! We learned so much history about Aspen, and the ghost stories were great. Dean is an excellent storyteller, and I found that the time flew by.... read more He was mindful of safety as we crossed the street (it was dark) and engaged us in conversation as we walked. This was a great way to explore Aspen's downtown with a very knowledgeable local and learn more about the history of the town.

  Great fun, history and goosebumps - More than just a ghost tour this included great history backed by real research. We really enjoyed the experience that incorporated learning, laughing and goosebumps.

  Masterful storytelling of the people and place  - An easy 1.5 hour walk through varied terrain: along neighborhood sidewalks, through town parks/centers and in nature areas. Dean masterfully told multiple stories at once: the history of the town... read more (from the Ute people to silver miners, hippies and today), contemporary development and how town policies support the arts, nature and full-time year-round worker residents. It gave me a fuller appreciation of Aspen and was a great way to start my weeklong stay.

  Ghost tour  - This was a very fun tour. Dean was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Will book another tour with him to explore more of Aspen.

  What a unique and interesting experience! Dean was an engaging storyteller, interesting and fun! DO THIS FOR SURE!! - An engaging and informative dark tour, our first! Loved it! Spooky but not frightening. A well done trip into the dark side. Totally worth it
