What a wonderful experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable, giving us a lot of history and information. I would highly recommend this tour with Kevin Neighbor.

The guide was very informative. However 40 minutes of a two hour tour were spent in the Visitor Center and the gift shop.
Amanda was fantastic! We loved learning about the history of Garden of the Gods and Pike’s Peak. Her enthusiasm and expertise along with her superior customer service made our experiences over the top awesome! She really made our tours top tier! Would definitely book again next time we are in town!
Amanda was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend it.
Wonderful tour with lots of great information. Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgable. He also provided snacks and took great photos.
We had an amazing time and a truly great experience! The Jeep was comfortable and made it easy to converse throughout the tour. Our local guide was fantastic—I’m sorry I’ve forgotten his name—but his love for his home and the surrounding mountains really came through. We enjoyed learning about the history of Garden of the Gods, and the entire ride was so much fun. Highly recommend this experience!
Amanda & Kevin love what they do and shared their love of The Gardens of the Gods with us. Four generations (dad 99yrs old), 2 jeeps, learning of the history and beauty of this geological wonder. It was an amazing experience. They took extra care of dad and made sure the girls had fun climbing the red formations, plus photo ops.
Amanda did a wonderful job! She was friendly and very knowledgeable. We were able to get out and explore and take lots of pictures with different rock formations. The 3 adults in the back seat of the jeep were a little crowded, but other than that we would definitely recommend taking this tour.
Really enjoyed the tour, so much so that a book another tour to pikes peak as soon as the first tour was over. Our tour guide Amanda was great, very knowledgeable and engaging.
Amanda was very knowledgeable and fun! She was so excited to tell us all about The Garden of the Gods and take pictures for us! She even made us a magnet at the gift shop! I would highly recommend her!
Amanda was an excellent guide, taking pictures of me against various stone formations with my phone. She also guided my steps, and was very knowledgeable about the area.
Our guide was Michael and he could not have been better. He was SO knowledgeable and accommodating, especially for my husband who had some mobility issues. The tour included a stop at the visitor center as well as many photo opps. We felt like we REALLY experienced the beautiful garden.
Mike took the time to understand us and tailored the experience to our needs. Plus, we were an hour late for this personal experience (went to the wrong city- my bad) and he waited for us! 😊
Fun and informative trip. Guide knew a lot and provided lots of interesting information. I would highly recommend this.
Great experience! Burley,our guide was amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable. I recently had TKR and he took the time to walk us up as smooth and level pathways as possible to make sure we had great photo ops. My husband steve, who would rather be watching sports than anything else said he was so surprised with the tour. Had no idea it was going to be that good. Thanks again Burley for a great day!! Would highly recommend!!
This was a fabulous tour!! Our tour guide, Michael, was the very best!! He has a great personality and always willing to take pictures! He made the tour fun!! We had great weather!! Highly recommend this tour!!
Amanda with Rapp Tours is a wonderful source of knowledge and so kind! We enjoyed our morning with her and appreciated her as our area expert, photographer, and guide! Highly recommend Rapp Tours!
We enjoyed this tour very much - stories and history given by our Iowa State alumnus, Berly Orr. The Jeep was awesome for us to be toured. Liked the personal attention, snacks, flexibility. So worth the time and $.
Burley was a fantastic guide on our Garden of the Gods Jeep tour. Was very informative and took pictures for us on every stop. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this Jeep tour if you are looking for a good one.
We came rollin’ in from Texas with high hopes and big boots, and Rapp Tour Adventures knocked it outta the Jurassic park! My big kids (okay, they're grown, but they were grinnin’ like kids at Christmas) got to ride in the most bad-to-the-bone, jacked-up Jeep this side of the Rocky Mountains. And our guide, Amanda? Y’all, she wasn’t just a tour guide—she was the raptor-queen of the Rockies. She knew every twist, turn, and cliffhanger of the Colorado Springs area, and made the whole ride feel like a high-octane safari through prehistoric paradise. Her knowledge was deeper than a dino dig and her energy? Bigger than a brontosaurus with a double shot of espresso! We saw breathtaking sights, learned local legends, and laughed our cowboy hats off the whole way. It was educational, exhilarating, and roar-some from start to finish. To sum it up: if you're lookin’ for adventure that's bigger than Texas and wilder than a pack of velociraptors at a rodeo—book the dang tour. Amanda and the Rapp crew are the real dino-deal. 🦖🤠 #TexasApproved #RaptorRideOfALifetime #AmandaIsADinoStar
Michael was amazing. Very knowledgeable about everything in the park, and very flexible with our physical limitations. Highly recommend!!!
We had a very good experience with our tour guide Burley for the Garden of the God’s tour today. We like to give him 5 star rating for his professional expertise and for his outstanding service.
Very knowledgeable driver/guide who went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had the best experience
Michael was AWESOME! Such a great tour guide. Highly recommend Rapp Tour company and the private jeep tour. My husband and I canceled two group tours after experiencing the great tour we received with Michael and Rapp Tour Adventures. Well worth the extra money. Michael was a 12 out of 10!
This was our first excursion of the trip and we are so glad it was. The tour guide gave us great info for the tour we were taking but gave us so many great tidbits for enjoying the surrounding area. I highly recommend this company. Our guide took so many photos for us and had great suggestions on how to maximize our day.
5 stars x 500! (Disclaimer: I was not encouraged nor compensated to leave this review; it is left willingly and 100% reflects my honest opinion of this tour.) I have traveled all over the world and participated in escorted tours of all price points. This escorted luxury jeep tour (awesome vehicle!) through Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs easily places in the top 5 tours I have ever taken! Our guide and driver, Burley, is a respected local guide who is well known by many of the staff and guides within the park. He was personable, professional and willingly shared his infinite knowledge of the park. He volunteered to take photos of us throughout the park in key locations and airdropped them to us. He also provided an assortment of complimentary drinks and snacks, which I believe is a standard offering for this tour and a nice enhancement. The tour was so incredible the time flew by and we hated to see it end. I had visited this magical place many years ago without a guide and that was a waste of time. Do not hesitate to book this tour. Easily worth twice the price!! I sincerely believe all the guides who lead this tour are incredible but I know you will enjoy Burley, his knowledge, and his humor if you are fortunate enough to tour with him. We began as strangers but by the end of the tour he felt like a longtime friend. Book it!
My wife was a bit nervous about booking this due to the lower number of reviews, but we went ahead, and boy, were we glad we did. We were the only ones on the excursion, and Burley went out of his way to give us the best tour we could imagine. He was very knowledgeable and showed us everything we could have wanted. He never rushed us at the different stops and took so many great pictures. This was one of the highlights of our time in Colorado Springs. I could not recommend this tour more, and if you get Burley, you're guaranteed to have a great time.
Great , exceptional tour. Well planned. Tour guide knowledgeable and friendly. Easy to work with. Highly recommend.
The tour guide was kind and shared interesting historical facts. But we spent more time in visitor centers than actually going around the park
Our Jeep tour with Rapp Tours was amazing! Beautiful scenery, amazing day, tons of great pictures and wonderful memories. Rapp does such a great job! Take this tour, you will not regret it!
Our guide was awesome. Amazing views. She took lots of photos and we learned a lot of new information. Would definitely recommend!
Our tour guide Burley was very knowledgeable. The tour was amazing. I will definitely book another tour with them when we come back again. I highly recommend this group and Burley!!
The beautiful scenery and the great photo ops. The tour guide was fantastic. She made for a great day.
Our guide Amanda was great. She had so much interesting history to share with us. I would definitely recommend this tour with her!
OMG ! We had the best time with Amanda ! She was so knowledgeable & took some great pics!!! If you are considering a tour of Garden of the Gods I would highly recommend a Jeep tour with Amanda !!!
Amanda is the absolute best! What an incredible and amazing tour! Highly recommend! There are no words to describe how beautiful this place is!
We booked our tour. Drove to our destination only to find out that between viator and rapp tour, our paid for tour was lost somewhere. The Rap Tour driver basically told us, oh well, figure it out even though we proved we had paid for reservations and he took others who were booked after us. We did get a call from the owner or manager of Rapp tours, we were refunded and offered a compted experience but we were only in town that 1 day. Highly disappointed in the experience.
Amanda was absolutely fantastic and fun!! She gave us lots of historic information which we loved and pointed out things we would have missed on our own! Thank you so much Amanda! Ps the bison burger was delicious!
This tour was just what we were looking for. Amanda, the owner of the tour company was our guide and we could’ve not asked for a better experience and more genuine and energetic As well as knowledgeable about the park and the history. She took some great photos of our family for our memories as well. You won’t be disappointed when book this. Thanks so much, Amanda /Mandy😎🥰
My sister and I had an awesome time seeing the highlights of this beautiful place with our guide, Burley. The Jeep was clean and comfortable with various drinks and snacks to enjoy. He told us lots of history and facts and took multiple pictures for us. The time went by fast, and we didn’t want it to end. He gave us great lunch recommendations. I hope to do another Rapp Tour in the future!
What an awesome way to see the highlights of this beautiful place! My sister and I had a super comfortable Jeep tour with our guide Burley. We learned lots of information, and he was always offering to take pictures for us. The time went by fast, and we wished it didn’t have to end. He recommended a great place to eat lunch, which did not disappoint. I would definitely book another Rapp Tour when I visit CO again!
We barely saw the park, but we spent a lot of time visiting gift shops. Very disappointing. The driver was nice and informative but overall we felt it was a waste of time and money.
We had wonderful experience with awesome guide. Had great point of view with great explanations and pictures. We may have choose again with next visit!
Having rock formations pointed out by name The guide was very knowledgeable about what was being seen Disappointed that there weren’t more photo opportunities due to the traffic Very dissatisfied with instructions for meeting site This needs to be addressed
Guide did a great job explaining the story behind the Garden of the Gods. I would highly recommend this activity when visiting the Colorado Springs area.
We had a great time on our private tour of the Garden of the Gods with Amanda. She knew all the great picture spots and tons of info about the area. The Jeep was great and snacks and drinks much appreciated!
We had a great time on our jeep tour. Amanda was so friendly and energetic. She was our personal guide with tons of great info and photographer. As the mom usually taking all the pics-I appreciated her taking our group shots. The Jeep was super nice and snacks and drinks much appreciated.
Omg Amanda is amazing! So much fun, great info and knows all the spots for the best pics! We had a blast with her, definitely recommend!
Great experience. Amanda was very knowledgeable and upbeat. Always had water and snacks available, if needed. Would definitely recommend.
Amanda did amazing job! She knows all of the best places to stop and has some superior parking skills! She has these tours down and will make sure you get great photo op’s. She is very knowledgeable of the park and area. You won’t be disappointed!
