Private Colorado Springs Tour: Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak
Description
My tours are all private and clients have the ability to customize the tour. In addition I have my commercial insurance and am certified by the state of Colorado. Next a walk and drive through Garden of the Gods where you will see many different colorful collections of sandstone rock formations. There are many unique formations and many of the them have names such as the Kissing Camels and the Cathedral Spires because the formations resemble such objects. Continuing on, we will stop in the charming town of Manitou Springs for a quick bite to eat and a few minutes of window shopping. Futhermore, you may sample water from the natural outdoor delicious water fountains. From Maitou Springs we will drive up Pikes Peak Mountain to an elevation of 14,105 feet where we gaze over the mountain ranges and see why Katherine Lee Bates wrote the lyrics to America the Beautiful as she took in the sights from the summit of this gorgeous mountain. After a great day we head back to Demver.

Pickup Locations & Times
I pick up at all Denver Hotels within 2 miles of Downtown Denver.. If you are further away I will meet you at Union Station. You can take light rail to Union Station and I will meet you outside. I do not usually pick up from the airport or the airport hotels which is why I recommend the light rail from those areas.

Our guide Brad was very knowledgeable and gave us great views and a great tour of Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. The addition of the short tour of Broadmoor Estate and lunch at The Bar was a perfect end to an exceptional day! Highly recommend!
The Garden of the Gods is gorgeous, and Pike's Peak is breathtaking. Even just getting to mile 16 (roads closed due to high winds), the views were amazing. Probably could have spent a little more time in the park than at the Broadmoor, we just didn't know what was at the hotel. Brad was quite knowledgeable about all the environs and was very personable.
our guide, Brad did a great job. He suggested an additional stop at Red Rocks that was very enjoyable
Brad was very friendly and experienced! He went out of his way to accommodate our requests! Brad was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the Colorado Springs area.
Brad was an amazing tour guide! So knowledgeable about the entire area, not just the attractions. We are a family of 5 and it was great to sit back and enjoy the scenery while someone else drove and knee where to go.
Brad was an amazing tour guide. So much fun and very patient with the children!!!!! Would highly recommend
Brad did a great job getting us to our destinations and had a lot of information along the way. There was a shield between the front and back seats for COVID safety. Would recommend Brad but would insist the vehicle be sanitized before the trip.
Hi I always wash and sanitze the inside of the vehicle as well as wash the outside. I will be sure the manager and cleaning crew are doing their job. Thanks Brad.
We had an awesome day trip. Our tour guide, Brad, was the best. Pick was smooth and on time. Guide was very knowledgeable of the area. He was easy going and really made our children feel special. He kept us on an easy pace but got in all the sights. Would use Viator again!!
Brad was great, saw all the things we wanted to see and at our own pace. Great job explaining the high points and even the not so obvious. Would recommend
We had a great day with one view more spectacular then the next. Our guide Brad was very accommodating. I highly recommend this tour.
