A lifetime of memories - Absolutely the best way to finish a conference trip. Harley our tour guide, exuded knowledge, history and energy. Dad jokes, geology lessons, expert precision driving around hairpin turns. Stunning views of the Garden of the Gods, Manitou mountain town and especially at the summit of Pikes Peak have made memories to last a lifetime when souvenirs only last a few weeks. Thank you Harley. You are the Ryan Reynolds of ilimo and Colarado. Best wishes, June, UK.

Perfect way to spend a day in Colorado - This trip was so worth it! We are so happy we did it. Our guide Harley was full of energy from the moment he greeted us at the van and did not stop being educative and fun for the entire 8 hour trip. The views where amazing and it was great being able to see the summit of pike's peak without having to hike the mountain. Only thing I wish we would have brought was hats and gloves since it did end up being pretty cold at the top but in retrospect, that is to be expected during February. Would definitely book a tour with ilimo and Harley again!

Fun down day near Denver - I had a day to fill in Denver. I chose this trip because it took up most of the day and I hadn’t been to either place. Harley, guide and driver, was prompt at the pick up place. The van was very clean and would probably hold 12 but there were only 6 of us. Harley was very informative. The day was beautiful and we were left on our own to walk around the Garden of the Gods. We then went to Manitou to have lunch on our own. This town is filled with restaurants and shopping with Mountain View’s. After lunch we headed to Pikes Peak. Due to high winds we could only get to the 12 mile mark. The views were spectacular. The skies were blue. I had a wonderful day.

Best Tour Guide - The trip was so amazing because our tour guide Harley made it amazing, he knew every single fact about the areas we went to and talked to us about them. He’s truly incredible the tour was special because of him! He’s even helped take amazing photos for us. I’m so grateful I went on this tour and can’t wait to book another one with this company!
