A great way to spend a day with family and friends getting a taste of Denver. Truly spectacular views with an entertaining guide. We would have missed so much if we tried the drive ourselves.

This was an amazing experience! The scenery at Garden of the Gods and the drive up to Pikes Peak were absolutely breathtaking. What really made the trip special was our guide — they were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. They told us many interesting stories about the local history and nature, and made sure everyone was comfortable the entire day. The tour was perfectly organized and on time. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Denver!

I had never done a group tour like this so I was nervous as I think the outcome comes down to your group and the tour guide. We'll, we lucked out and had Harley as our guide. He greeted us with a ton of energy and I knew we were in for a treat. He was thoughtful enough to think ahead and suggest we change the order of our site visits to avoid bad weather on the summit. The other van apparently wasn't as fortunate and had to turn back before reaching the summit. Thanks for a beautiful experience, Harley!
