Harley was very informative and full of energy. He also made sure we did Pike’s Peak first since there was a chance the wind would see it fully. I had a great experience as a solo travel.
Great trip

The tour part to the Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs was wonderful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. However, our stop on our trip to Pikes Peak was cancelled because of the weather and we were given an alternative to Lookout Point. Lookout Point was not a good substitute but we had to go there because the other two passengers said they wanted to go. The day before this tour I asked the Viator and the tour company to cancel because of the weather and was very bad. They both refused to cancel. Because of the snow, I had difficulty getting to Denver but made it to Denver and the trip. This tour company had been doing this tour for years and should have that with about 3 inches of snow the Peak would be closed. I believe they knew the day before that the Peak would be closed but they dipped us. That’s bad business for an otherwise good tour.
Excellent tour.

Picked up at Union station, get in the bus and the rest of your day is taken care off. Pikes Peak, lunch in beatuiful Manitou where I spent the hour playing origional reto arcade games. The Balacing Rock and best of all Garden of the Gods. Really enjoyed my day with the excellent guide Zack. It might seem pricy but for the effortlessness of getting to and from these places it's far less stressful than renting a car and driving.
Great day out
