Our group of six had the most amazing day with Jason! What a fun personality , Jason grew up in the area and was a wealth of information . I feel we have a better appreciation of the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak with all the history and stories Jason shared. I would highly recommend this tour.
Mike was accommodating and knowledgeable of the sites we visited and tailored our trip to our needs and even introduced us to a local Italian deli.
I actually experienced the Rocky mountain park tour! It was awesome! Steve (our guide) was excellent! Very knowledgeable and courteous! Had a great time!
Dylan was an awesome guide. He was very personable and knowledgeable...very enjoyable day. Beautiful views...Purple Mountains Majesty!!!
Gentry , our tour guide was informative , friendly & knowledgeable!! Our trip to to the Garden of the Gods & Pikes Peak was Amazing ! The views were breathtaking!! Great Day!!
Nick was our guide. He did an awesome job with our tour. He was a great fit for my mixed group of teens and adults. Nick was extremley knowledgeable about the area and the sites we visited. He made sure we had a great experience throughout the day. The group all enjoyed the book luch we purchased. My students and parents are still taking about what a great time they had.
My husband, daughter and I were fortunate to have Paul as our guide for the day. He picked us up at our hotel promptly at 9:00am. Paul immediately established an easy rapport, and laid out a plan for the day, considering the weather was cold with a chance of rain. Paul has a great sense of humor and we laughed and talked all day. I felt as if we were spending the day with a friend, who was showing us the area. Paul was a very knowledgeable guide, as well as great driver. Paul provided us with a fantastic day that made our trip to see the Phillies play the Rockies a fantastic getaway. If you get Paul as your guide for the day, you can look forward to a very enjoyable experience.
Steve picked us up at our hotel. We spent the day at Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak and Manitou Springs. The Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak are simply stunning scenery. Steve was personable, relating to each member of our group. We appreciated the pictures he took of us - and driving to these beautiful locations so we could just enjoy our day. Thanks, Steve!
Mike was an awesome tour guide, thank you!! We could not have been happier with the outing. We will certainly book another tour in the future.
This tour was well worth it. Our guide, Paul, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the sites on this tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone. My family and I really enjoyed our day.
This was a very entertaining/informative tour. Our guide for the day, Paul, was very informative about so much along the way. He also had great a way of starting and keeping conversations going. The time flew by. Personally, I think he had a way of working some magic too. Throughout the tour, we got great parking places in busy areas, managed to have a bobcat cross the road right in front of us in Garden of the Gods, and saw a herd of big horn sheep while going up and down to Pikes Peak. It goes to show how a great guide can make a tour very memorable.
A beautiful trip with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Beautiful vistas on a couple of short hikes. A bit of a drive from Denver but worth it.
The tour guide, Mike, was wonderful - very informative and accommodating. He was very friendly. The vehicle was great. The scenery was great. We had a short time in Colorado Spri ga and this tour was perfect.
We had a fabulous tour guide, Mike. He was extremely knowledgable and attentive. He was prompt and friendly. The day was perfect.
Our group of 6 had a great time on a beautiful day. Jed was an excellent tour guide and knowledgeable about more than just the sites. He knew geology, history, local plants, and weather patterns. We even asked him some challenging questions. He kept our safety first, as when we got to 12,000 feet at Pikes Peak, blowing snow created black ice and there was no question he was going to obey the Ranger orders to head back down. Also, we had warned us about elevation sickness and one person in our group did get sick, and Jed was very compassionate. She got better within 10 minutes of moving down the peak and all was well. Would book this trip again and probably ask specifically for Jed, or use him for different tour.
Our private tour of Pike’s Peek, Garden of the Gods & Manitou Springs was great! Kyle and Mitchell were amazing tour guides and were extremely knowledgeable during our trip. So glad we chose to do this tour and just sit back and relax and enjoy the day.
very bad they canceled us at the last minute and they still do not return my money, I do not recommend it
We enjoyed the trip very much. Jeff is an excellent guide and helped us to show the key points without rushing.
It was a great experience for our family! Keith was very professional and relaxed and made sure we had a safe, amazing time. Garden of the Gods is spectacular, lunch in Manitou Springs was great (thanks for the great restaurant recommendation) and Pikes Peak is unforgettable from the bottom to the top. He took great care of us and we will always remember the entire day. From booking to the trip itself it was easy for us and I highly recommend Keith and all of Aspire tours!
When in Denver, the problems withCovid 19 were enormous. With Two -rescheduled tours cancelled, we found Aspire for a private tour. Absolutely wonderful and well worth the premium for a private tour. Our tour director, Jed, was one of the most knowledgeable people (not guides, but people) I had ever met. His knowledge of the geologic, Flora, fauna environments was extensive. Charlyne and I had a most interesting and educational day. I cannot express my appreciation for this program. We were picked up at our hotel, enjoyed conversation between Denver And the Springs learned so much and most importantly, shared excellent conversation during our day with Jed. Although I am certain that other guides are good, if you can, opt for a private tour with Jed. He is FANTASTIC!
The tour was amazing. It was everything that I thought it would be and more. Our guide Jed was knowledgeable and fun! The sites were breathtaking. The stops were long enough to see the sites but not so long as to get boring. As far as I'm concerned, this is the only way to get to the top of a "fourteener".
Thank you very much from Australia for a unique tour! I highly recommend to everyone who would like to visit The Garden of the Gods and The Pikes Peak. It's a van, I was the only passenger, so I paid the full price. The price is for the trip, so if you get together 5 people, each pays 1/5 of the total. If you are a business traveler first time in Denver and you have one day (and don't care about sharing) - this tour is for you. Jeff from Aspire Tours was an excellent guide, he knows a lot about Denver and the area in general. All kudos to to him for being an excellent driver (which is needed for the Pikes Peak Road), a perfect tour guide (his suggestions on what to see at The Garden of the Gods were invaluable, so was his suggestion for a place to have lunch at Manitou Springs). I am especially thankful for two things – I wanted to bring some mineral /rock samples from Colorado back to Australia and he went out of his way at Manitou Springs asking questions of where we can find the relevant shop. He drove me to the specific shop at the Pikes Peak Road for more samples. We returned to the hotel at 7 pm instead of 5 pm, as we were stopping at several spectacular locations (and there was an unfortunate delay with the roadworks). Aspire Tours and Jeff are highly recommended, Absolutely Brilliant!
This was an amazing tour. Guide (Jed) was knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly, and a safe driver. Also had a good lunch in Manitou Springs. Highly recommend it.
A great tour. Very crowded in the Garden. Lots of history, the guide was very knowledgeable and professional.
<p>Conrad took our group of 12 on a whole day private tour which we thoroughly enjoyed!<br/> He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very attentive. In addition to a fantastic tour he also gave us great tips about places to go/things to do during the rest of our time in Denver. Weeks later we are still talking about how much fun we had with Conrad!</p>
