My family and I spent the weekend in Colorado Springs celebrating our Mom's 80th birthday and this tour was one of the highlights! Thanks Samantha for setting it up with just a few days notice and making sure that we were well fed, well educated and well taken care of, what a memory for the 12 of us!
Thank you for the awesome review! We love hosting private events for families - so fun! We appreciate you making us a part of your itinerary during your time in Colorado Springs. Cheers, Samantha
We have taken 3 tours with Noel & can not say enough about her Knowledge of Colorado Spring's History, Hospitality & Professionalism! We highly recommend Rocky Mountain Food Tours if you want to experience a side of CO Springs that is remarkable! The restaurant choices were excellent & it was well worth the cost! A great time was had & we will definitely take another tour during our next visit!
Thanks, Suzie, that is so kind of you to say about our tour leader, Noel! We might be biased, but we think she's pretty awesome, too. ;) We greatly appreciate your review! Cheers, Samantha
Overall the tour was OK. We did get to sample most good (Island Spice) to disappointing (Roosters House if Ramen). We did get some of the history of Colorado Springs, but we were expecting a more traditional progression of dining, appetizer to dessert or places that told the story and roots of Colorado Springs. We didn’t really get either. The 2 top places for us were Island Spice and the Rabbit Hole. The carrot cake at the Rabbit Hole was nice, but looking at their menu made us want something more representative of their creativity. If course the idea is to get us to come back and if I’m ever in Colorado Springs again I want to go back there so that worked.
If you just want to try some different restaurants and peek in or pursue menus this is OK for that. At the end we thought it was expensive for an average experience.
Hi Kristin, traditional food tours like the one you took are not actually progressive dinners (i.e. appetizer, entree, dessert) but rather a taste of the city, or highlights of eclectic local restaurants. The tour you took, however, did include four savory stops and one dessert location, and it also included about 45+ minutes worth of Colorado Springs history (including also art and architecture) presented by your tour leader. If you find yourself in Colorado Springs again, we'd be happy to give you a discount for the Pikes Peak Progressive Dinner, our gourmet experience, as that tour may be more along the lines of what you were looking for. Kind Regards, Samantha
We found Colorado Springs downtown sort of historical district to be alive and interesting even in 90 degree heat. Our tour guide expertly wove the history and the people (past and present) into a 5stop food tour in just 3 hours. While the restaurants ranged from exceptional to forgettable and in-between you certainly get a feel for the area. Kudos.
Thank you so much for the positive review - we greatly appreciate it! Cheers, Samantha
Great experience. Lots of food. Very spectacularly hospitable and knowledgeable tour guide. Show up hungry.
10/10 would recommend.
I wish I could go every day.
Thank you for the awesome review - we appreciate it! Hope to see you on another tour in the future. Cheers, Samantha
