    I'm absolutely at a loss for words. Anything I can say will pail in comparison to the actual experience. Our pilot/tour guide Eli was a talented pilot, knowledgeable resource and a hell of a guy overall. I can not stress enough to anyone thinking about stopping by here to absolutely do it. Go for the longest ride that you can, take photos and videos, ask questions and enjoy the ride. The ground staff, can't recall her name, was excellent as well. Having taken a drive down from Denver of over two hours, I would do this again in a heartbeat. Exhilarating, breathtaking and exciting are just a few words I can use to describe our experience today!

    This place is awesome, they were able to get us inside the helicopter within 10 minutes of us walking in there and asking about a ride. The helicopter is super cool and has windows all on the sides as well so your view is never obstructed. The views and the experience were great but what really made it awesome for us was the pilot! He was super informative on the area and everything we were seeing, very talkative as well making the ride a lot more enjoyable for us! We had a bad experience in Ouray with a lame tour guide so this man really blew us away, you can tell he loves and enjoys his job :)

    Thank God the sun came out that day!

    Such a beautiful experience! I had been on a helicopter tour while visiting Hawaii before, but this ride was amazing on its own level especially since it was my first time in Colorado. A bit on the pricier side, but definitely worth it because the views are nothing compared to what we see at home in Texas!

    While on vacation in Colorado my daughter and granddaughter decided to take the helicopter tour. There was only one run ahead of them so the wait was less than 15 minutes. Staff was very friendly, explained everything and even took pictures of them inside the helicopter. They both loved it, beautiful views, fun ride! They would do it again anytime. Well worth the time and cost if you are considering it. You may want to call ahead and make sure they are running if the weather forecast is iffy.

    Fantastic experience !!! We flew over the springs at sunset , over Garden of the Gods. Jessica was a wonderful pilot and tour guide. I'm a very experienced helicopter passenger, but it was my 86 year Mom's first time ever in a chopper. She was treated very well, and loved every second of it!!!!

    What a fun way to see the Christmas lights in Colorado Springs! Eli was an awesome tour guide and we enjoyed the experience.

    I recommend sitting in the very front (no cameras allowed here) or in the back facing the front of the helicopter.

    Completely perfect and wonderful in every way... Except for…read morenon stop 80s music, even on open car! YIKES. The 80s were fun but really wanted to just enjoy the train and the scenery. Food drink and service was a great surprise.

    Five‑Star Experience! From the moment we stepped through…read morethe depot doors, the staff was warm and welcoming -- truly a great start to the day. I was disappointed that the gift shop didn't carry 3XL shirts or sweatshirts. Large women and men love souvenirs too, and we're happy to spend money when the options fit! The food was just okay. I ordered the beef nachos -- the portion was huge and definitely shareable -- but they lacked flavor, and I only ate a few bites. Steve said his burger was fine but nothing to write home about. The highlight of our trip was the open‑air car, made even better by our host, Brett. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the canyon, pointed out landmarks, helped us spot bighorn sheep and deer, and took photos for anyone who asked -- always making sure the background was perfect. Thanks to him, we have beautiful memories captured from our ride. Be sure to tip Brett -- he absolutely deserves it!
