Excellent experience!

Great trip, the guide Mieke, was extremely knowledgeable and very well organised, he kept us all punctual, gave us very good recommendations for things to do during the tour and in Denver. The places we visited were beautiful, especially that town Manitou, what a jewel!

The trip exceeded our...

The trip exceeded our expectations. 8 hours long but we visited many places and had enough time at each place to explore and take photos. The guide was amazing and explained everything to us and also talked about the places we passed by while we were in the car.

Breathtaking

Our guide and driver Zach was outstanding. He successfully navigated the traffic in and out of Denver. The temperature was nearly 100 degrees so the Gardens of the Gods was not too pleasant. The time allowance was about an hour. Next lunch in Manitou Springs. A number of choices with about an hour for dining and shopping. Finally the main event: Pike's peak. A breathtaking drive to the top. Much cooler temps but the elevation is no joke. Definitely happy and strongly recommend.
