It was a lovely tour with our guide, Ben, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. I signed up for the tour mainly because of Pikes Peak, but ended up enjoying Garden of the Gods and the lunch stop in Manitou Springs even more. Eight hours sounds like a long time, but the day flew by and Ben took extremely good care of us. Just a note: I was traveling solo and tried to book this tour through Trip Advisor and it would not let me book for just one person - I even called for assistance and was told the vendor would not book a single. This was completely untrue. I went to the ilimo website and easily booked myself on the tour.
