Worth your day - We had a great day. Jeff, our guide was positive and very knowledgeable about the entire area. You spend some time in the van to get to the sites, and he knew about all of the towns we went through, and points of interest along the way. You can rent a car, but it's so much nicer to relax and enjoy the ride. I would also never attempt to drive up to Pike's Peak. You can tell Jeff had done this a lot.
We stopped at Garden of the Gods, Balancing Rock, Manitou Springs, and Pike's Peak. I saw other tours include lunch, but I really liked having time in Manitou Springs to eat where we pleased.
We spent just enough time at each place, without feeling rushed. When Jeff wasn't pointing sites out, his playlist is 10/10

What a great trip! My wife loved it! - What a great time! Our tour guide, Ernie was extremely knowledgeable. He gave us interesting facts about Denver and Colorado all the way up and all the way back. Also, what an interesting guy. Ask him about Rocky Mountain Oysters and he'll give you the scoop. The tour of the Garden of the Gods was beautiful and going up Pikes Peak was exciting. If anyone feels nervous about going up that high, you can feel safe with Ernie. He is an excellent driver, and he was extremely concerned for the safety of his guests. I can't give Ernie enough stars.
