Manitou Bathhouse (8 Park Ave, Manitou Springs, Colorado)
Colorado Springs has some incredible food history hiding in plain sight, and guides like Beth, Jason, Adam, and Kathy have a genuine talent for bringing it to life. Reviewers consistently praise their guides for being knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to spend a few hours with. The tours hit around six stops, blending great food with local history, and several longtime residents mentioned learning things about the city they never knew after decades of living there. The food itself gets high marks across the board, with stops at locally rooted restaurants that feel carefully chosen rather than tourist-obvious. One reviewer even got to meet a chef with a TV background, which speaks to the caliber of places on the itinerary. Non-alcoholic options are also available and thoughtfully handled, which is worth knowing if that matters to your group. This tour works equally well for visitors and locals, and a handful of reviewers mentioned booking it as a gift or group celebration, which seems like a natural fit. If you can, check who your guide will be since Beth, Jason, Adam, and Kathy each have their own personality and style, and all of them have earned genuine praise. It's a low-pressure, delicious way to see a city from the inside out.
My wife and I had one of the most amazing experiences with Rocky Mountain Food Tours. Thank you to our tour guide Kathy who provided us with interesting historical facts, fun trivia, a sense of humor, and of course, INCREDIBLE FOOD. There's at least two places on the Gold Medal tour I guarantee we'll return to; "The Brit Pub" with their irresistible sticky toffee pudding & friendly staff and "Zocalo" with their unforgettable beer and bacon queso. And I remember discovering Four By Brother Luck and Josh & Johns (greatest ice cream ever made) through an earlier Rocky Mountain Food Tour. It's like discovering your new favorite restaurant and greater appreciation of Colo Springs every time you take one of these tours. My highest recommendation for dates, anniversaries, or just want to show a visiting friend some great local places to eat.
