You’ll be guided through Historic Manitou Springs, located at the foot of Pike’s Peak. - Manitou Springs, located near Colorado Springs, Colorado, has a rich history that dates to the early 19th century. The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, particularly the Ute Indians, who revered the natural springs for their healing properties. In the mid-1800s, European settlers began to arrive, drawn by the natural mineral springs and the area's scenic beauty. The town was officially founded in 1872, with the name "Manitou" derived from a Native American word meaning "spirit." The springs became a popular destination for health seekers looking to benefit from the mineral waters. Manitou Springs grew rapidly during the late 19th century, becoming a popular resort town. The arrival of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad in the 1880s further boosted tourism.

Garden of the Gods Jeep Tour

Garden of the Gods was so beautiful and well worth the drive. Driving through Manitou Springs made me want to go back to just spend a day there walking around to shop and eat. I'm so glad we booked with a guide because he offered so much history and we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery!

The BEST way to really see Pikes Peak!

This tour is a must if you are going to the summit of Pikes Peak! Our guide, James, was a delight. He shared so much information: geological facts, environmental info, pointing out other peaks and the different trees as we climbed. He even had some local ghosts stories and Big Foot lore. We experienced a thunderstorm just as we reached the summit and James quickly got us safely into the Visitors Center until it passed. He also took photos of my husband and me at several different locations.Of course, you can drive yourself to the top of America's Mountain but you would miss so much! Just do it, you won't be sorry.

Experience of a Lifetime

We had Amanda for our tour guide. From the time we got into the jeep. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. On our way up to the summit. We saw a herd of mountain goats on the side of the road. By the time we saw them she had passed. She took it upon herself to turn around and stop. She stayed there so we could take pictures. At the summit she took pictures of us and we included her. We also had some snow at the top. We had a great time with her throughout the tour. I definitely would suggest her as your guide.

Great day in Colorado Springs.

Only way to travel to summit at Pikes Peak. Our driver, Jewel, was great. Knew every about the area as she grew up there. Gave a quick but informative tour of the Gardens of the Gods, but made it interesting enough that we plan to go back for a day, to walk it and spend time enjoying the beauty.

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.

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!

I can't recommend Rainbow...

I can't recommend Rainbow Ryders enough! From start to finish, the entire hot air balloon ride was smooth, safe, and simply magical. The views were absolutely surreal. Floating peacefully above the landscape, with nothing but the sound of the burner and the wind, was an unforgettable experience. Our pilot was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. The landing was impressively smooth.
