It was an amazing day going on this tour to Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. We were able to go to the snowy peak and enjoyed the incredible view over Colorado. Harley was the best tour guide you can imagine. He was super friendly, made funny jokes and entertained us the whole time. He shared so much information with us about the region and the nature, just perfect. He drove us there and back safely and offered all his help.

We had a great time in the Garden of Gods and in the charming village of Manitou Springs. The drive up to the summit (apparently possible first time this year) was literally breathtaking! We are elderly and we both felt the altitude of 4302 m getting dizzy and wobbly. I wish we would have had more insight of what it meant to get up so high. We were glad driving down mountain and getting normal again. People with heart issues should not do the Pike Peak.

We are so grateful to have taken this tour today. Harley was the best guide! He made our small group feel comfortable from the beginning with his humour, high energy, superb driving & endless supply of bottled water. Harleys wealth of knowledge about the area we visited made it even more special. What a trip, exploring Garden of the Gods and the cute town of Manitou Springs under sunny blue sky, and then making it up to the summit of Pikes Peak which was covered in snow - literally breathtaking. Highly recommend this tour. Thankyou Harley!

I jumped on this tour to add some nature to my Denver trip and it is an absolute must!! Harley the guide is very knowledgeable, it very much feels like he knows every stop front and back and rattled off the fun facts for every location before we even got there with a perfect blend of information and humor listen to his restaurant recommendations! He kept us all hydrated and made sure we had enough stops to remove that hydration. It was an absolute blast and a perfect day to add to a vacation. Next time I'm in town I fully intend do one of their other experiences. 5/5 10/10
