Wonderful Tour Guide, Plenty of Time to move around - Jason was a wonderful tour guide who knows his stuff and was able to navigate around fast-changing weather to maximise our fun, while keeping our safety at the top of his priority. Tour itinerary is reasonable and gives plenty of time to explore ourselves.

Jason's the MVP - Jason was splendid. He's very informative and since he knows his way around, he was able to tweak our itinerary a little to get the most out of our day considering the weather adversities. He's really friendly too. It was a great tour overall.

Great tour. And, it doesn’t start at the crack of dawn (9:45 am) - This is a great tour. I had not heard of Garden of the Gods before this tour, and it was neat, as was The Balanced Rock. Pike’s Peak was everything I expected. And, Harley did a great job as the tour director. One suggestion would be to give travelers an idea of how much time will be spent in the elements. I knew what the temperature was going to be in both locations but not how much time we would be outside.

Sit back and explore - A day tour down to the Colorado Springs area with 2 main stops: Garden of the Gods (which is an area with a lot of spiky red rocks) and Pikes Peak. Totally worth visiting, plenty of time to wonder around parks and take photos, plenty of time to just stop and see nature. However, we couldn’t get all the way up to the peak as weather was too dangerous (but according to our guide, it’s usually fine between May-Feb, just we were unlucky). Our tour guide Jason was extremely knowledgeable about the area, fun and helpful. He grew up in the area, showed us his old home and high school he graduated from, he also knows the way up Pikes Peak very well (which apparently is very dangerous) and drove up to the peak many times (and one of them being a race that is internationally competitive), big shoutout to him for taking good care of us. He made a difference.

Rocky Mountain High. - We had a great time. Jason was our tour guide who went far beyond his call of duty. His enthusiasm “made” the tour so enjoyable even though we had gale winds and unusual weather conditions. Jason was proud to be born and raised in Colorado, extremely knowledgeable, and definitely had the gift of gab!
Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods were awesome.
