The tour provides a lovely introduction to the area and highlights several site you're likely to want to revisit during your stay. Our guide Cascade was both thoughtful and knowledgeable about the area. It was a positive experience well worth my time and money.

Second Attempt at Pikes Peak.
Our 3-hour Pikes Peak tour was absolutely amazing, and our guide, Bree, made the experience unforgettable!
From the moment we met her in the parking lot, she made us feel completely relaxed and right at home. We ended up getting incredibly lucky—we were the only two people on what could have been a four-person tour, so we had the entire back seat of the Jeep to ourselves. Riding several miles with the top down while taking in the breathtaking scenery was an incredible experience.
Our first attempt at experiencing Pikes Peak was on the Cog Railway, and while the train ride was a fun experience, it just didn't compare to driving up the mountain. The drive along the Pikes Peak Highway, navigating the incredible switchbacks and stopping to take in the spectacular views, was absolutely amazing and well worth a second trip. This time, we finally made it all the way to the summit, and it was an experience we'll never forget.
Bree was friendly, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. We had great conversations throughout the tour, and by the end it felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend rather than just our tour guide. She shared fascinating facts and interesting stories about Pikes Peak and the surrounding area that made the drive even more enjoyable. Seeing the bighorn sheep on the mountain was definitely one of the highlights!
This was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We highly recommend this tour, and if you have the chance, definitely request Bree as your guide. She truly made an already beautiful adventure even more memorable. If you're trying to decide between the Cog Railway and a guided Jeep tour, we can honestly say the drive up the mountain offers a much more immersive and memorable way to experience Pikes Peak.

Great time
Great time ! Garden of the gods can be very busy to drive on your own so highly recommend the jeep tour. This one was a covered Jeep with air-conditioning. She gave us the option to do it with the top down or up. It was a hot day so we chose to do AC. We noticed other tours were open air bigger type Jeeps so depends on what you like . Lisa was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable with history and great stories. The communication from the team prior to tour was great.

Tour filled with all the highlights yet very relaxing.
Amanda, the tour operator, reached out prior to the tour to answer any questions. She was very kind & the driver was extremely knowledgeable about the rock formations & wildlife. The jeep had incredibly comfortable individual seats for this senior’s back. We had a wonderful time & saw everything we wanted to at a relaxed pace. We were able to enjoy the park so much more than we would have if we had driven through ourselves. I would highly recommend this tour which was well worth the price.

Great experience
Great experience
The bikes were very heavy and sturdy
Used the throttle more than pedaling but got to see all of the garden of the gods. Our guide Shawn was great. I didn’t realize we got to see the town on manito which was so cute!
I highly recommend this tour

Great tour of Pikes Peak
We had a wonderful time on the Scenic Tours of Pikes Peak. Our tour guide, Nick, was extremely informative, knew the area inside and out, and shared fascinating stories about the annual Pikes Peak car race, the local wildlife, and even the legends of Bigfoot. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Amanda & Kevin love what...
Amanda & Kevin love what they do and shared their love of The Gardens of the Gods with us. Four generations (dad 99yrs old), 2 jeeps, learning of the history and beauty of this geological wonder. It was an amazing experience. They took extra care of dad and made sure the girls had fun climbing the red formations, plus photo ops.

Great day on the Pikes Peak
You have to take time before the trip to get used to the higher elevation, which includes drinking lots of water so you can avoid altitude sickness. Our driver, Kevin, was prepared with water & snacks as he drove slowly up the mountain. The views are spectacular. He stopped periodically so we could take pictures and checked on how we were doing. There are a couple of gift shops along the way where we could browse without the crowds at the top. When we reached the peak there was time for more pictures, a snack ( donuts), shopping & their museum. On the way down there is a stop where the. Condition of each vehicle's brakes are checked. Many drivers had to pull over to let their brakes cool. Our driver was using 1st gear for the descent to protect his brakes. So we didn't have to stop. Being able to enjoy the views , and letting an experienced driver negotiate the switchbacks both up & down is worth the price of a tour. Kevin, our driver with Rapp tours, made our trip fun, informative, & restful. I highly recommend this tour.

Incredible Falconry Experience!
It was an incredible experience learning about the raptor birds. Their guide, Scott, was very knowledgeable and had been helping with Falcons since he was 7 years old. You could feel the passion in his voice for these birds. Scott led us through three different locations with several different birds of prey including three subspecies of Falcons, Hawks, and two types of owls. The hike with the flying hawk was awesome!

We had a great time exploring Old Gold Camp Rd and Eric was so helpful and patient explaining how to use the bikes and s
Make sure to wear sturdy pants as the gravel part of the road can be slippery and thin pants / shorts may result in skinned knees! Weekend there is traffic so during the week might be better option. Views are spectacular and really worth the trip. Once you get to the part that limits cars it’s more pleasant. The e-bikes definitely made the hills easier. Bike seats were padded and large to accommodate our men as they don’t like regular bike seats!!

Great way to do Pikes Peak Summit & Garden of the Gods drive-through
Our tour guide, Sidewinder, was excellent. He made the tour fun, educational, and I felt the timing was perfect. The drive to the summit of Pikes Peak was beautiful. The drive through Garden of the Gods was nice as it was really crowded and would have been to hard to do on our own. We also appreciated the water and wool blankets!

Great Zip Line Experience
This was a great experience for our first time zip lining. We were a part of a group of 8 that got to do 5 different lines of various lengths & speed.
Great instructors who made the experience even more fun (Devin & James) Beautiful weather & beautiful views made the day even better.
