5.00Alex did a great job in guiding the tour. He shared a lot of great insights during the day. He was very courteous and was concerned about our well being with the high altitude.
Worth it 👏

5.00Micah was our tour guide and did an amazing job! Highly recommend this tour to see some of the top sights. Garden of the Gods was breath taking. Manitou was delightful and you will need to visit again to take in all the local shops and restaurants. We are at the Armadillo and recommend it. Pikes Peak goes without saying was a must see. I do recommend bringing a sweatshirt. Loved this tour!
Fabulous experience

5.00Lots of van travel, covered many miles. Roads narrow and winding, handled with care and ease by our guide. The views at Garden of the Gods and Peaks peak are spectacular! Expect to feel the attitude at Pikes Peak. It doesn’t last long, but the memories will last a lifetime!
It was a great trip. Even...

5.00My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide was Ryan and he was incredible. Super outgoing, polite and fun. He shared so much history and details throughout the entire trip - extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. The scenery was so beautiful - the experience was well worth the money. It makes for a long day but full of fun! Two pieces of advice: be sure to drink plenty of water prior to the trip and it can be chilly at the top - so dress in layers.
Exceeded expectations in every way.

5.00Delightful well done tour of Pike's Peak and Garden of the Gods. From beginning to end, this was well organized and exceeded expectations. Ryan, our guide, was a fountain of information conveyed with the most enthusiasm. He engaged with his audience. he kept us safe on a fairly gnarly drive. He kept us from being bored which is remarkable given that we had 1.5hrs of commuter traffic on the way home. The sights were delightful. Pike's Peak has amazing views. It is no little thing to walk around at 14k feet but he prepared us and we were ready. We had sleet, hale, rain, sunshine and varied temperatures. Quite delightful. I can not recommend this enough.
