Epic Views at the Top of the World - To be at the top of the world and get there in a safe and fascinating way with an informative, very capable, and entertaining tour guide, Jason, to see breathtaking views of five states, mountain sheep, marmots and hawks at the Pike's Peak summit was absolutely mind blowing and a must see when in Colorado, with The Garden of the Gods on the way! We had the best day and were accommodated by Jason at every turn. Thanks from Vancouver, Canada.

Breathtaking, Fun, and Safe - We had the pleasure of taking the Pikes Peak & The Garden of the gods tour from Denver. Simply breathtaking!     Harly, our tour guide was fun, funny, and a very experienced driver. The day was calling for rain. He decided to rearrange our tour and took us to Pikes Mountain first.  He wanted us not to miss out on the experience.         Sure enough, as we were on our last tour of the trip  light drops started to fall.    But as we started back to town, the rain came. We even heard snow was falling on the mountain as we were touring  the Garden of gods. We got through all of our tours, safe and dry.     Harly reminded us from time to time that he loves to take care of his guests.       That he did. It was a very enjoyable trip. Well done, Harly!!

Limo and Jason - Jason was an awesome tour guide and driver. He went above and beyond to tell us great information in a fun and relatable way. He is a native of the area so he knew so much about our travels.

Pike’s Peak Perfection - Our tour guide Zach was nothing short of fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and mixed in humor to really make the over trip seamless and fun. My wife and I had so much fun; when we make it back to Denver and decide to take another tour, Zach is our man.

Great Garden of Gods & Pike’s Peak tour - This tour was to Garden of the Gods, lunch in Manitou Springs & Pike’s Peak. Our guide, Harley, was knowledgeable & entertaining. He drove well & has a very eclectic music selection. In each spot he brought the history of the place to life with his vivid descriptions of the geology & time scale. He also made sure he had water for everyone. I highly recommend this tour & Harley.

Ask For Jason - Did Pikes Peek and Garden of the Gods tour with Jason yesterday and it was fantastic! Got delayed on the way by a bad accident on freeway which had traffic backed up for miles, but he did not cut the trip short at all. Still did everything we signed up for. Jason's from the area and knows everything you need to know. He made it very fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend!!! Hey Jason, stay safe on the Suzuki!

The best of the best! - Harley was an amazing tour guide, not only was he captivating and engaging, but he was extremely knowledgeable and had many fun facts and pieces of knowledge that you could only get from someone who knows a great deal about the area. As a Colorado foreigner I feel that I have absorbed so much information about Colorado. We got to see Pike’s peak, the Garden of the Gods, Manitou springs and the surrounding Colorado scenery. I have loved this trip and have to say it was very beautiful, easy, and leisurely. 5 stars and then some. Fully recommend.
