Stay the course with little to no WIFi. Audio knew exactly where you were even with stops along the way. Audio was Easy to understand. If you are not a nature person, but enjoy scenic views, this journey was much more breath-taking and entertaining with the audio sharing key facts about your experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Bettina, thank you for taking my Scenic Pikes Peak Highway GPS audio driving tour. I’m so glad the audio stayed synced with your location, worked well even with little to no WiFi, and played smoothly with stops along the way. I’m happy the key facts and stories made the scenic drive even more breathtaking and entertaining.

Have someone else drive you! Admire the views as you go and make sure you dress warm. Take lots of pictures and make sure you watch the short movie in the look out center

The ticket price included a car load of friends for admission into the park for $16.99. At the entrance to Pikes Peak we were required to pay again, they had never heard of Viator. We paid $34.00 to enter the park. I’ve requested a refund hopefully it will be honored.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Celeste, I apologize for the confusion. My Scenic Pikes Peak Highway Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour does not include park passes or carload admission, as it only covers the audio tour experience. I see you used the provided password in the app, so if you’ve already left the location, I can offer a different tour as a replacement or assist with a refund. Feel free to reach out—I’m here to help daily, 9 to 6.
Michele_D, Aug 2025
I thought this was tickets. It wasn’t. I got to the booth, and they are like, you need to buy. You need to really put boldly, this won’t get you in the park. I guess a few others had the same experience.
Basically I wasted $16.99, and got nothing.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Michele, I’m sorry for any confusion regarding the entrance to Pikes Peak. As noted in the description and the title of the tour, my tour is a self-guided audio tour and does not include park entry tickets. I always aim to ensure that the details are precise, and I appreciate your feedback to help avoid future confusion for other guests. If you have any questions or need assistance with any other tours, feel free to reach out—I’m available daily from 9 to 6 and happy to assist!
