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.

What are people saying about Colorado Springs

Karen_J, Jun 2026

Our guide was very fun...

Our guide was very fun and entertaining. The jeep ride was good and we went up Old Stage Coach Road, that we would not have ventured up on our own. Garden of the Gods was amazing! If you want more time and have a vehicle, we recommend you go back to walk/hike some more.

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.

Colorado Springs Hands-On Falconry Class and Demonstration

Ben_C, Jun 2026

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!

Wonderful experience!

The Garden of the Gods jeep tour was a wonderful experience. John was a fantastic host, his love for the history of the area as well as the magnificence of the geography was contagious. We saw some incredible sights as John knew exactly where to stop and we were able to spend as long as we liked taking photos and just soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. I would highly recommend this tour!

If you are wanting an adventurous and informative experience of the mountains, you need to book this! Amazing ride up the mountain with stops for great photos and James is very knowledgeable so you stay intrigued hearing new facts through the ride. I recommend going on a day with good weather so you can experience the summit, because that was a breathtaking experience to see everything below and in the distance. Since I came solo I will have to come back again with my family because it’s genuinely that cool of an experience.

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!

Colorado Springs Sunrise Balloon Ride

Katherine_s, Sep 2025

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.
