What To Expect

Garden of the Gods

Garden of the Gods is a popular tourist attraction in Colorado Springs, Colorado, known for its stunning red rock formations that resemble ancient castles and spires. The park offers a variety of hiking trails, including the popular Balanced Rock Trail, and is a great place for rock climbing, photography, and simply enjoying the natural beauty of the area. "It is free to visit." Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

Kissing Camels Golf Course

The first thing to know is that the two camels aren’t actually two different rocks. At one time, they looked no different than the rest of this rock face. But there was a small crack within one layer of the sandstone. A crack so small it was practically invisible.

This was the best tour we’ve done in Colorado Springs, you pay $15 only and you get the app and the audio guide was so helpful explaining all landmarks. It was even better than riding the train and we paid $350 for 4 peoples to ride the train. Both though are great experiences if you biding this area. It was our first time in Colorado and gardens of the Gods the best place ever. You font need to take an expensive tour guys just do this very doable!

I’m so glad you enjoyed my Self-Guided Driving and Walking Tour in Garden of the Gods! It’s fantastic to hear the audio guide made exploring easy and informative—and a great value compared to pricey tours. For more adventures, check out my Tour of 25+ National Parks, featuring engaging audio guides at parks like Yellowstone and Glacier, designed for freedom and discovery. Happy travels!

It did put big drain on the cell phone battery. But the info was nice to have. Glad it was audio and not all reading. Would have been even better if it worked with the cars screen system so we could both see the screens

Drew, I'm thrilled you enjoyed the Garden of the Gods Self-Guided Tour! Thank you for your feedback about battery usage; GPS-based tours are power-intensive. For a smoother experience, I recommend using a power bank and connecting the audio to your car’s stereo for enhanced listening. While CarPlay support is pending, you might enjoy our other Colorado tours, like Rocky Mountain and Mesa Verde. Happy exploring!

We were charged for this self guided tour. However we never ordered or downloaded the tour. Customer service refused to refund our money, Beware of using Viator tours or visiting their website. I cant review the content of the tour because we never downloaded it or used it

Steve, you booked my Viator product on October 15th, 2024, for a travel date of October 18th, 2024. You should have received my instructions email right after your purchase, which needs to be followed beforehand since my app works offline once set up. You didn’t contact my support team, and we never refuse refunds. Since you didn’t participate in the audio tour, feel free to request a refund—I’ll happily accept it. Alternatively, the tour is valid for a year, so you have plenty of time to use it, or I can replace it with another tour from my collection. Let me know!
