The tour garden of the... - The tour garden of the gods and Pikes peak tour was a marvelous adventure. Mark the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, very professional. He continously asked if anyone needed water. I plan to do this tour again and want Mark as my tour guide again. It is worth the money and the time to experience this wonderful creation.

Amazing Pikes Peak & Garden of the Gods Tour — Ask for Bob! - We did the Pikes Peak & Garden of the Gods full day tour with Explorer Tours and it was incredible! Bob was an AMAZING host — friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the day flowing perfectly. If you can request Bob for your tour, definitely do it — he’s great. I was a little worried about a full day tour, but it honestly flew by. He shared great info along the way, made just the right amount of stops, and made everything easy and enjoyable. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking — you truly can’t imagine it until you see it with your own eyes. Lunch (turkey sandwich, chips, drinks) was included and was very good. The Sprinter van was comfortable, had charging ports, and even some music on the way back which was a fun touch. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Denver who wants to see Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. This was a 10/10 experience — and I’d definitely book with Explorer Tours again the next time I’m in town!

We've had a... - We had a wonderful experience. For starters, the gathering place is easy to find. Our guide was very friendly and during the trip he gave us a lot of information about Denver. Transportation is safe and very clean. Both activities are so beautiful. The time spent at each stop is amply sufficient. I wish I'd stopped by Manitou Springs. I also very much appreciated the sandwich offered. Again, our guide did an outstanding job and was very helpful. An amazing experience!

Pike's Peak tour - The van is comfortable, the driver (Brian) is knowledgeable and personable. You will get lightheaded at the top of Pike's Peak, but the view is fantastic. We were warned by Brian that we would probably be a little dizzy at that height. The sandwiches he provided were delicious, made by a local grocery deli. We felt it was a memorable excursion!
