Awesome Experience at Garden of the Gods and Pike's Peak.
Linda_O, May 2023
We were able to get to the top of Pike's Peak and feel so privileged since the road had been closed till the day before. Our guide, Harley, was fun and provided great information. Garden of the Gods was amazing, beautiful and unique.

Amazing tour, amazing guide!
Shelli_H, May 2023
Amazing tour!!! We got all the way to the top of Pikes Peak. It was the first day it was open to the top this season. Our guide Jason from ilimo was amazing. Highly recommend.

Great Tour and Jason was a Great Tour Guide
Kathleen_B, May 2023
Viewing Pikes Peak and all the information Jason provided about the area as we were driving through.
Amazing
Aditya_M, May 2023
This was incredible. Our guide Harley was very entertaining and helpful. Garden of the Gods is cool, but Pikes Peak is a must visit. But prepare for altitude sickness before you get there since it's at 14k feet.
Perfect.

Fantastic adventure
Stacy_F, May 2023
This was an absolutely amazing tour and I recommend it for anyone. Our driver Jason was fantastic and he told us a lot of good information about the places we were going. I enjoyed Pikes Peak but because the weather was bad we couldn’t get up to the summit but that was OK because saw a lot of beautiful country and snow as far as we could go. The roads getting up to Pikes Peak are pretty crazy but our driver Jason was very cautious and I felt very comfortable with his driving ability. After Pikes Peak we headed to Manitou Springs for lunch and there is so many restaurants and so many gift shops that you actually need a lot more time than one hour that we had with the tour. Jason gave us a lot of good recommendations on the restaurants in Manitou Springs. After Manitou springs we headed to the Garden of God and what an amazing and beautiful place it is. If I lived here I would go there every week just for the solitude, the positive energy and the beauty! Definitely gods garden! I highly recommend this tour and give it a five star. Thank you Jason for giving us and showing us a great adventure!

Excellent Tour guide and driver

A Can’t-Miss, Magical Experience
Daniel_Q, May 2023
I had an awesome time on this tour, though I should warn that it’s easy to get lost in Garden of the Gods (take it from me); signage is minimal and not entirely helpful, and you may not have cell phone service. Pike’s Peak is magical. Due to weather, we weren’t able to make it to the summit, but we did get past 11,000 feet. The town of Manitou Springs at the base of the mountain is something out of a storybook. Thanks to Jason for a fantastic time, his knowledge of the sights, and for his great taste in music in the van.
Up to snow peaks
Tatiana_R, May 2023
Harley, our guide, provided a lot of information and was entertaining. He was also considerate of the individual needs of the tourists during this challenging trip to the top of the mountain. It was enjoyable and exciting.

An experience you need to have
Kayleigh_H, May 2023
Wow!! What an experience!! Garden of the gods is beautiful! Manitou Springs is a lovely little town with some lovely shops and food choices. Then pikes peak - wow wow wow! The journey up is an experience in itself. And getting to the peak was the cherry on the top (apparently they can close it if the weather is too windy) just a little forwarning, you will probably feel lightheaded, heart beating a million miles an hour and struggling for breath due to the altitude but it is 1000% worth it (just cause I wasn't aware I'd feel that way until I was up there)

10/10 recommend
Ashley_F, May 2023
The perfect, most efficient and lowest risk way to visit Pikes! Don’t try to take your rental car up there. David said he’s made the drive up 50-60x and it shows. It was the perfect day trip!
Worth visiting Pikes Peak fir the beautiful red rocks.
ChiYun_L, May 2023
Garden of Gods and the drive to Pikes Peak. At the summit due to bad weather I could not see the whole view.
Beautiful and a comfortable trip to Pikes peak and the Garden of the Gods
Sourav_R, Apr 2023
Visiting Pikes peak and the Garden of the Gods was a lifetime experience for us and it completed our short vacation in Colorado.

kathy_g, Apr 2023
Harley our guide was great! The sights were awesome and we felt like we had enough time to see and enjoy everything!
Unexpected Joy
lenagrechin, Apr 2023
It was a great experience. Our guide Harley was knowledgeable, fun with a great sense of humor. The group was only 7 people very eclectic, from 5 countries including US - it was great to share our experiences. I would recommend this one day tour. We left around 10 am and we’re back around 6 pm.
So good I did it twice!
Christopher_L, Apr 2023
Superb day out smashing so many amazing highlights. Highly recommend! This tour is so good I actually did it twice! Tour guide is a legend.

pikes peak
Michelle_D, Apr 2023
No really positives our guide was not knowledgeable or if he was he did not share. I think if you have a guide they should have information about the area they are driving you through. Our trip the day before was great pretty much a waste of money other than the fact I would never drive the road to Pikes Peak. I learned nothing on this trip

Sights of Colorado
Sheila_C, Apr 2023
My husband and I were on an extended road trip as something to do while we were in the Denver area. We had a great driver. I just wish he would’ve had a headset on because sitting in the back of the bus it was very difficult to hear him talk about the history of the area. So neat to meet others from the USA as well as international ones too.
Awesome Trip and the Tour...
Felix_G, Apr 2023
Awesome Trip and the Tour Guy was Amazing. I will comeback. I came from Puerto Rico Viator tours are the Best
Beautiful views. Drink plenty of water
Marvin_P, Apr 2023
Pikes peak and garden of the gods as well as manatou springs were all very memorable. Hawley shared a lot of info and had plenty of joke to fill the time on the drives between them. FYI, take the suggestion to drink plenty of water seriously. I experienced a bit of nausea on the train ride out of Denver because I hadn't had a chance to refill my water bottle till then. Drinking a full bottle of water relieved it.
Charming trip
CHRISTIANE_K, Apr 2023
We had a very nice tour of the garden of the gods and made it up quite high on pikes peaks. Our guide David clearly knows the region very well and is a very experienced driver. Would recommend this excursion any time ! Christiane

A walk in the sky!
Rina_G, Apr 2023
Amazing trip for the family! Garden of the Gods have unique rock formations. Ascend to Pikes Peak wasn’t for the faint of heart but once on top, it was unbelievably crazy view and experience! Kudos to David who did all the driving!

Great excursion outside of Denver
Nicole_G, Apr 2023
Jason was a good tour guide and we had a lot of fun at Garden of the Gods. Stopped at multiple places coming down from Pikes Peak for photo ops. Manitou Springs was a cute town - highly recommend Red Dog for lunch!

Outstanding outdoor outing
Jen_S, Apr 2023
We were in town for a conference and came in early to do a few touristy things since it was my first visit to Denver. This was the perfect tour. The scenery was beautiful and the weather was perfect. Our tour guide, Harley, was phenomenal! He was witty, informative, personable and tolerant of all of my questions. He also made sure to explain the importance of being hydrated and what to do if we had any issues, which was vital to me since I am from Florida and the altitude is not anything I have ever encountered. Although the wind was too strong to go all of the way to the top, we were able to go close to the summit and it was enough for me. If you are in Denver, you must take this tour! It is amazing!
