This is too long to squeeze into an Instagram story... but I wanted to share because Julie certainly put time into this review!!
This is one of those "suitable for framing" reviews that will find its way onto the website!
"SO GLAD my husband and I decided to take the 10-hour tour with Wes at YETI tours!! We felt the tour was safe, relaxed, customized to us and overall - very enjoyable and well worth the money.
We really appreciated Wes’s organization and ex*****on of the entire day! His easy-going personality, knowledge of local history and excellent driving made for a relaxed and fulfilling day. From the initial contact, Wes very communicative and interested in customizing the 10-hour day based on our interests. His approach is very professional and includes a well-defined web page of tour choices to select from. A few days before the tour, he presents an itinerary for the day for our review/approval. The plan allowed us to visit not only our top choices of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, but also Manitou Springs, Old Colorado City and Helen Hunt Falls. He also worked in restaurant suggestions, allowing us to have a nice lunch break at a brewery in Manitou Springs.
So glad we took the tour with Wes rather the Cog Railway up to Pikes Peak. It was more peaceful than the cog train and he stopped at key scenic overlooks along the way for viewing and pictures. The personalized attention was excellent, and the YETI SUV was very clean and comfortable; not to mention that Wes was an excellent driver around all the hair-pin switchbacks. My husband was thrilled to NOT drive and to give 100% of his attention to the gorgeous views!
One thing I also liked is that Wes remained engaged with us the whole time. He never dropped us off and disappeared; he walked with us pointing out local information in Manitou and Garden of the Gods. He navigated the roads in Garden of the Gods around the crowds to get us to all the key locations, helped us spot wildlife, and even made sure we were safe while navigating the rock features. Not only was Wes a great guide for the sites, but we was also our personal photographer!
During the tour, Wes was very flexible and added a surprise impromptu drive through The Broadmoor based on our discussions in the car. We enjoyed meeting, chatting with, and getting to know Wes throughout the day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour!"
