5.00Magnificent, we were lucky it was only the four of us so the van was not crowded at all and had ample space , the guide was very knowledgeable but importantly a very safe driver and I knew the next 8 hours would be a memorable experience, definitely recommend plus a great way to see pike peaks , manitou springs and garden of gods in the sane day without the trouble of renting cars and driving around

5.00Harley was an outstanding tour guide. From the very start, he was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the area. He struck the perfect balance between sharing fascinating facts and keeping the tour relaxed and enjoyable. Harley was attentive to everyone in the group, answered questions thoughtfully, and made sure the experience felt personal rather than scripted. His professionalism, sense of humor, and deep local insight truly elevated the tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would happily recommend Harley to anyone looking for an exceptional experience.
AMAZING!!!!👍👍👍👍🥰

5.00We had a great day! The weather was beautiful and we saw some amazing sights, took some great photos and enjoyed a yummy lunch in Manitou Springs. Zach was a terrific guide and shared some great stories and history of the area. I would highly recommend this tour if you have an open day and want to see some gorgeous areas outside of Denver!

5.00Alot to fit in given distance to travel from Denver, but paced well and the travel guide kept us involved. Pikes Peak the highlight, and we were lucky the snow was not brilliant this season so we were able to get all the way to the top.
