I took my production team on the Rocky Mountain Food Tour in Colorado Springs for our Holiday Adventure and it was really fun! Beth Lueders the guide was super knowledgeable, attentive, engaging and fun. The 3 restaurants were all delicious, the two shops were classic corner stores of independent Colorado businesses and I will never complain about finishing anything with ice cream. We all learned a lot and enjoyed the tour very much.

Excellent and fun food tour. Loved it! Jason was knowledgeable, entertaining and personable. Definitely recommend. Try to do early in your trip so you know where you would like to visit later.
Carol_G, Sep 2025
Worth every penny. Great stories and interesting points shown while walking to each venue. Behr was a great tour guide.
Amy_J, Sep 2025
One stop was at a spice shop. I think it was a waste. The other stop was at some drink place. I think that was a waste too. I feel like we only went to four places. It’s a food tour. There should’ve been at least two other places to taste food. However, our tour guide was wonderful.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Hi Amy! Thank you for taking the time to give us some feedback. We're sorry that you felt like there should have more stops on your tour. Your tour featured six destinations, five of which served food and the sixth was a cute locally-owned lemonade tap house. The menu featured a taco and loaded fries with Pueblo Green Chiles from Phantom Canyon Brewery, shepherd's pie and soda bread with honey butter from Jack Quinn's Irish Pub, special tastings from a spice shop, your choice of drink from Pikes Peak Lemonade, jalapeño poppers from Four by Brother Luck (the same dish he made on Top Chef!), and finally ice cream from Josh and John's Ice Cream. Most guests find this to be a substantial amount of food, especially since most other food tours offer small tastes and samples. This tour is only advertised as visiting four to five destinations, and your tour featured six. We also provided your group with a three-hour tour of downtown with an expert Tour Leader with many years of experience, plus a personal greeting from Chef Ashley Brown of Four by Brother Luck. We aim to surprise and delight, and so we are disappointed that we were unable to meet your expectations. Thank you for joining us for the tour.

Kathy, our guide, was very knowledgeable and interesting, funny and definitely knows Colorado Springs well! It was the perfect amount of walking between stops and the food was amazing and there was a wide variety of types. Would 100% recommend for anyone that wants to know more about the city and have (several) great meals!
Lynn_P, Sep 2025

After reading prior reviews on this food tour we decided to book and are very glad we did. The stops, the food, learning the history of the area was great. Our tour guide Behr was the best and took very good care of us.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We're thrilled that your experience matched the past reviews of others! Thank you so much for taking a tour with us!
Newton_C, Jul 2025
We had the privilege of having Kathy as a tour guide. It was a wonderful experience, The tour feel shorter than the actual amount of time we spent exploring downtown Colorado Springs. We had French onion soup, pork sliders, awesome tacos and a Korean inspired pork belly. We finished the day with a little ice cream at Josh and John’s. The ice cream was an unexpected treat and the flavor we had was amazing but will remain a secret. All of the stops were well planned, and included a great deal of history of the downtown and surrounding area. The tour with Kathy was exceptional and well worth the cost.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
We really appreciate your review. Thank you for sharing your experience with the world!
Karine_P, Jul 2025
We are local to the area, but we still were able to experience new food venues. I mostly appreciated the history of Colorado Springs, the people who built our community, and the buildings then and now. Behr did a nice job talking about the history and culture of CS. As someone who really loves food, I did not feel that all our stops represented a Colorado flare. The Green Chile at Kinship Landing and the taco at Zocalo were really the only two stops that represented the food of Southern Colorado. Coati was interesting to me for the cultural expression and the history of the building, but I didn't feel like the food said Colorado. Again, I live here, so it was interesting to learn things I didn't know, and experience locations I've not been. All the food sampling was good. The experience was fairly priced.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks for the feedback, Karin! Colorado has such a rich and diverse culinary tapestry, and we are happy to celebrate its many facets on our tours. Our experiences are also as much about our local people - the chefs, the entrepreneurs, and visionaries - as it is about the food. All of our featured destinations have a compelling story and contribute uniquely to what we consider "Colorado flare." Thank you for taking our tour!
Stacy_L, Jun 2025
