We had a good day but we didn’t have enough time on pikes Peak. We had way too much time in manitou springs.

Colorado Sightseer is a well-run, totally professional and fun touring company! We learned a great deal not only about Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs and Garden of the Gods, but also of the various Colorado ecosystems, wildlife and state history. Christin was delightful - she customized the tour to meet the needs of all 9 guests, remembering everyone’s name and circumstances. You could tell this is her passion! There were plenty of opportunities for photos, bathroom breaks, big horn sheep viewing, snacking and rest when desired. I was concerned about altitude sickness at the summit of Pikes Peak. She had her facts, personal experience and such a caring attitude that I knew I was in good hands if I were to experience any symptoms. Luckily just a bit of light headedness that didn’t get in the way of enjoying the beautiful scenery and newly renovated visitor’s center. A day well spent in the natural beauty of Colorado!

Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods were the highlights of our Colorado vacation. We would have preferred to spend a little more time at Garden of the Gods instead of Manitou Springs. The tour guide showed us a good time but also didn't overload us with too much information.

Many tours to choose from, and we did 3, Rocky Mountain National Park, Pikes Peak, and the Breckenridge/Red Rocks tour. All great, informative. The tours do take time, so you have to plan on spending the day, but it is worth it. We had a great time on all the tours. Saw wild life, Elk, Mountain Sheep, and the weather was very cooperative. Good company, small and locally owned by family, and they tend to you on a personal level. not like dealing with a large tour company. Have a great tour !

What a great day! Magnificent scenery, well organised and 10/10 for our guide, Will. He was so interesting, informative, helpful, courteous and funny telling his little stories about the animals in the region. I learnt a lot and saw a lot. A wonderful tour.
