Fun & Enjoyable Tour - Excellent tour with Harley. Entertaining and thorough explanation of the places to visit during the lunch stop. Garden of the Gods, lunch in Manitou and Pikes Peak.
The van has plenty of water (chilled) and Harley was very attentive to our safety and the avoidance of altitude sickness.
However, the time back at Denver is NOT guaranteed. Expect at least an additional hour beyond advertised (and maybe more.)

Five Stars Isn’t Enough for Harley! - Here’s a polished, enthusiastic review you could post:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Harley was hands down the BEST tour guide we could have asked for! From the moment we met him for our Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak tour, his friendly personality and quick wit set the tone for a fun and unforgettable day. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about the history, geology, and hidden gems of the area, but he also knows how to share that information in such an engaging, entertaining way that we were laughing and learning the whole time.
Harley went above and beyond to make sure our small group was comfortable — timing restroom breaks perfectly, maximizing every stop so we could soak in the sights without feeling rushed, and ensuring everyone felt included and at ease. His passion for Colorado really shines through, and it made my first trip here absolutely perfect.
Thank you, Harley, for making this experience so special. If you’re lucky enough to get Harley as your guide, you’re in for a treat!
