This was the highlight of our Colorado vacation!
Wyatt was our driver and he was incredibly informative in all things from the history of the area to the geological aspects of the rocks and mountain formations.
We went on an extensive ride right through the mountains through large expanses of land as well as tiny hard to get through triails that Wyatt maneuvered with finesse and confidence. The country up in Red Canyon Rock is absolutely exquisite. We were a small group of four and Wyatt encouraged us to ask him to stop for photos wherever we wanted. He kept emphasizing that this was our trip and was so accommodating as well as highly personable.
The best part of the tour though in my opinion was the lesser known spot at the very top of the mountain where there was an arch formation that created a natural window to the immense valley below. Apparently this was a sacred place of worship for the Ute Indian tribe. Looking over the great expense below I could picture the herds of Buffalo that long ago graced the plains. Wyatt’s knowledge of Indian history heightened the experience as we lost ourselves in our own imaginations of what life must have been like thousands of years ago in this very spot.
And just when we thought it was over, we were in for another treat. We were taken to see actual dinosaur footprints! It was a super narrow road high above the city and we learned how the ocean and movement of the earth collided in such a way as to preserve and reveal these footprints on the side of a rock formation. It was fascinating!
Overall, the trip was worth every penny and more. I highly encourage anyone to try this and make sure you ask for Wyatt.
On another note, feel free to tip Wyatt at the end as we were more than happy to do as were the other attendees. He really earned it.
Thank you Colorado Jeep Tours and thank you Wyatt for making this an adventure to remember forever.

After reading the brochures, we chose Colorado Jeep Tours to explore the Gold Belt Tour. The trip exceeded our expectations. Our driver/guide, Tom, was extremely knowledgeable, a good driver, and made the trip informative & entertaining. Our two labs were welcomed & loved Tom! Worth every penny! Thank you! 🐾

We took the Royal Gorge Jeep tour and it was fantastic. The tour started out through downtown Canon City, and the historic cemetery, where we learned many interesting facts about the history of the area, then we went off road and out into the desert. There we saw many beautiful views from high up the trails. We proceeded to the gorge and a drive over the famous bridge, and then ended our tour with a thrilling ride across Hogsback Ridge. Our guide, Steve, was very knowledgeable and took us to places we couldn't have gotten to. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Colorado Jeep Tours.

We paid nearly $400 for a tour from 1pm-4pm at the red canyon park. We have two small children that need car seats. I would not recommend this at all for children with car seats. We were on one side and another group was on the other. 9/10 times when the tour guide pointed something out it was on the side my child could not turn around and see, and you can't unbuckle them because the jeep is moving. We also spent about 35 minutes of the 3 hour tour going through residential streets. If you're local to CO and have light offroading experience, you're better off renting a Jeep and driving yourself.

The idea of this tour is great. The tour guide however was extremely rude to us. We were a group of 5 women and at one point he said, "in order to make this a successful tour you must ask me questions." We were expecting to be given a proper tour, not a kids field trip with assignments. He lost his temper and became aggravated after we had stepped out of the jeep for an overlook, but then there was an issue with the number of open seat belts. He then proceeded to blame the two girls sitting on that side, when in fact he has an extra buckle that didn't have it's opposite attachment piece. He kept muttering "look at what you've done now," as if we are children being reprimanded. He also was out of touch with current day issues and in all his historical knowledge forgot to mention most of the tribes were moved out of the canyons because of American settlers and forced out of their homes. He glamorized the homestead act but didn't mention how in current day it's role in the large disparity in the social-economics of Colorado. He went on to talk to us about the KKK and how they influenced the area. For a bunch of women who are from Virginia holding high degrees (which he asked at the beginning of the tour), we are well aware of the influence they had around the country. We are also a group of women of color so it seemed inappropriate to spend 20 minutes of our trip on an almost glorification of their influence. This tour should have been designed for us, and the ONE time we asked for a moment for photos he quickly said "we have a schedule one picture and let's go." He went on about the flora and fauna of the canyons, none of which we were interested in. He made it seem like it was so spectacular and something we've never seen before, when as I've mentioned we are from Virginia and have mountains, hiking trails, wild life, and forestry as well. We were not at all impressed by the price of this tour and the rude behavior we received, totally not worth it and I've already told people who were planning to visit Colorado to not consider this at all.
Advice: Find someone who doesn't need to rely on the tourists for conversation. Find someone who is aware of how to appropriately interact with women and people of color. Find someone who can be flexible with photo taking opportunities or what sites we'd prefer to see instead of wasting time on floura, fauna, and the history of the KKK. Find someone who isn't rude to your tourists.

We spent a week in Colorado and spent a day in canon city to do a Jeep tour and train ride through the royal gorge. We had a great experience! Learned a lot about the city and the history that took place in the area. The views were beautiful and our tour guide Brandon was excellent! Loved Fremont peak and driving on the bridge. Got some phenomenal family pictures. Our children ages 8 and 4 loved it. Even though we experienced a minor mechanical issue, Will and his team performed exceptionally to be sure all guests had a great time and got home safely. Will definitely come back.. highly recommend

Thank you for your great review in spite of a mechanical malfunction. Some of the best memories happen when things don't go as planned. Thank you for being great sports about the short wait. At least you got to spend it where there was 360 degrees of wonderful views. We hope to see you next year and remember you can always request your guide. See ya then,
Will

We did the all day Jeep tour visiting both Red Canyon and Royal Gorge our tour guide was Tom. He was so knowledgeable about the area, and gave us so much of the history of the town and the people in it. We went with our 3 kids 4,8,11 and they loved every minute of the tour and are still talking about it the next morning. The little one slept a big portion of the trip but thought the open top jeep on the free way was the coolest thing in the world. Tom was a great driver and we felt safe at all times during the off-roading portions. Our kids love to collect pretty rocks, and Tom was a true team player in helping them find the best ones to take home with them. We left at 8:30 had about an hour for lunch and were wrapped up by 4:15. At no point did we feel rushed or like we were just another customer. It was such a personalized experience and worth every penny. We headed back to the royal gorge park after and let the kids play, had ice cream and walked the bridge and took the gondola back. There was plenty of time to get everything we wanted to done considering we weren't doing the sky coaster or zip lining. We look forward to coming back and doing the Gold Belt tour at some time this fall. Bring plenty of water!!!

Wyatt was our guide, and we really appreciated his knowledge of the area as well as his deep understanding of geology.
Going through the canyon on the Gold Belt Tour, hearing about special points of interest and seeing things we have never seen, gave us a much better feel for an area that we thought we knew. Being up in stadium seating on a Jeep was so cool!
This trip was well worth the money and we'd encourage anyone to enjoy it.

Richard, our Jeep tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the history of Canon City and Colorado as a whole! Richard took us all around the Canon City rustic mountain state parks and we got to learn a lot about the geology, geography, history, gold rush, prisons, and paleontology of the area. We saw real dinosaur prints! My teen son who is interested in archeology really loved that! I would highly recommend Richard for some amazing back country scenic fun, we all learned so much and loved Richard’s enthusiasm for the rich history and adventure!

Went to go ride the jeeps and had my wheelchair with me - but the young lady at the front counter was VERY ANGRY that I parked near the front door.
Without asking me anything about the wheelchair - she insisted I immediately move my car and my wheelchair across the street and wheelchair it back it across a road to ask about my jeep tour.
There are no signs saying “NO PARKING” and there is no “Handicap Parking” – just an angry young lady who lost a sale…..
You will never see a dollar of my money, or my family’s money – PS aren’t you supposed to be ADA friendly at businesses? How is parking across the street in wheelchair ADA friendly? If you don’t want handicapped people coming around – put up some signs….
