Traveler reviews
A Bucket List Experience of Amazing Heights!
It was an amazing activity that everyone should experience. From the amazing private tour guide to the mountains, to our knowledgeable railway guide up to Pike's Peak. It was amazing! If you are not good with high altitudes, just be sure to be prepared. Also bring layers because you will experience all four season in one trip!

Our guide Jason was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. Pointed out interesting view and was able to find us some Big Horn Sheep
A must do experience in Colorado
This was the easiest and least stressful way to get to experience the incredible Pike’s Peak summit. It took the worry and frustration of trying to drive and get tickets to everything. I would never have gotten to experience the beauty at the top of pikes peak without this tour! Driving up there would have taken over 1 1/2 hours with tons of hairpin turns and switchbacks that I didn’t want to deal with!
Wonderful views, amazing trip.
Jason was our tour guide, he was so nice, fun and knowledgeable about the area and made the trip more enjoyable. The train ride was amazing and the views were incredible. So glad we were able to add this to our itinerary.
Magical experience
Adam was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining! He helped make it a magical day. The only improvement I would suggest is transportation with a little more leg room. There were many retirees on that trip and my aches and pains took a beating. However, even with the same transportation I would definitely book it again. The destinations were magnificent
