COLORADO TOURS
PHOTOGRAPHY & SIGHTSEEING TOURS

Colorado is a big place with more amazing destinations than you can hope to see in a single visit. You don't want to waste your precious vacation time visiting the "tourist spots" or photographing the same locations you've seen in the guide books.  Let a seasoned local and professional photographer personally guide you to locations less traveled. 

• Are you looking for a secluded mountain lake? 
• Or a prairie frequented by our beautiful elk populations?
• Maybe a snowy glacier in the middle of July?  

You only have a short time on your vacation and you should make the most of it.  

Photography Tours or Sightseeing Tours

Your Big Sun tour guide (Gene Tewksbury) is a professional photographer who has lived, explored and photographed Colorado for over 20 years.  Gene's unique background offers you an option not provided by most tour providers.  If you are a photo-phile and want to spend your tour accessing the best shoot locations and capturing the best photographs you can, your tour will be tailored specifically for that purpose.  If you prefer to just spend the day sightseeing, hiking and enjoying the Colorado scenery, we have you covered as well.

Custom Tours

One of the things that makes Big Sun Tours different is the personal attention you will receive.  While we do provide a number of "theme" tours based on your interests (ex: Colorado wildflowers, alpine environment, Denver nights sightseeing, and many more...) we also provide you the opportunity to build your own tour al-la-cart style.  You can call anytime and speak directly with your guide to plan out the perfect Colorado tour.  Working together we will identify the best locations to meet your time constraints, physical limitations, interests and other factors.  This service is fully included in the price of your tour.

Private Tours

If you have ever been on a "standard" group tour, you know what a horrible experience this is.  Dozens of people packed into a bus that just goes from visitor centers to roadside stops.  You never really see anything and you have no flexibility on where you go.  Big Sun Photography Tours are small and personal.  The only people on your tour will be your group (or self).  If weather conditions change such that a different destination works better, then we can make that change.  If you find you are loving a particular location we can stay longer, if you prefer to move on from a location we will do that.  This is how a tour should be done.
