My wife and I booked this trip to get yo see pikes peak and the garden of the gods. It was a fun trip with guide Christian. The Cog Railway out of Manitou Springs was clean and delightful. The trip through mountaine forest and above the treeline was fun. Views from the summit were spectacular. We were glad we went.

Christian was extremely accommodating and very informative. Traveling alone is always a little scary but Christian went above and beyond to ensure safety, each of us remained hydrated, group count was correct and also that each of us achieved the best experience possible! Also the pastries were a huge hit!

great way to see sights in a day. Garden of the Gods is beautiful and the train ride to Pike's Peak is amazing - be sure to dress warm as it is cold. Christian, our tour guide, was so attentive to everyone and had a nice way of bringing the group together. very enjoyable day trip - would highly recommend, esp with Christian.

The tour was great. Christian, our guide was very informative and pleasant to spend a day with. Garden of the Gods and the train ride up Pikes Peak was amazing as well! Once in a life time view above the clouds and a great little mountain town visit after. I would highly recommend this trip to all of my friends and family!

We had an amazing time on our FULL day Pikes Peak Cog Railway tour on Oct 3rd 2023! Our morning started at 7:30am at Union Point in Denver, Co. Our guide Christian was fun and extremely knowledgeable. He had a fun ice breaker and we had “strangers” in our van ride up to the Garden of Gods and Cog Railway. We got to experience snow on Pikes Peak; it was chilly but AWESOME!!! The stop at Manitou Springs is a hidden gem… we had lunch at the Keg and did a little shopping. This is a must do trip! We will be back for other tours and hope we are lucky enough to have Christian as our guide again.
