Royal Gorge Zip-Line Tours

Really enjoy doing this. This was my second time and Groupon made it super affordable and I was able to go on a Saturday. This company has 2 course’s and I’ve done the beginners twice. The beginners is 9 zip lines that are pretty fun, 2 lines are super fast and the last line is a race between who you came with. Great for couples or at least 2 friends or family.
The guides are fun and this time I had Shelby and Randy. Both are locals who work here during the summer and know the area. The total time frame can last anywhere from 2 – 3 hours. Make sure to wear sunscreen and loose comfy clothes. There is a bit of a hike but really not bad at all.

Going on a zip line tour has always been on my bucket list. I am happy to say that my overall experience was excellent! We were running late because we got lost, and Royal George Zip-​Line Tours was very accommodating and allowed us to join another time group and complete the full course.
The views from the zip line tours are amazing and breathtaking! They take photos for you, but I would recommend bringing a fanny pack of some sort to take pictures of the gorgeous scenery!
I did the classic tour with Jaylee (hope I spelled her name right) and Kenny, and they were both amazing!
Being my first time on a zip tour I was really scared and didn’t know what to expect. Half the time I was either freaking out or cursing like a sailor, but they were both very professional about it and were able to calm down my nerves.
Both of them were really kind and funny! I would highly recommend requesting these two if you are planning on going here for a tour. I honestly would not have had a great time, if it wasn’t for those two!

Professional and fun. Lizzie and Ashley were our guides and we couldn’t have asked for a better team leading us up and down the lines. You know they know what they are doing when no one gets hurt, freaked out, dehydrated (it can happen, people), AND all three of the children of various frontal lobe development have a great time doing something outdoorsy.

Great time zipping with my family and always felt like guides were making our safety their priority.

Best zip line tour! Heather and chainsaw were awesome guides — super funny, friendly, and skilled. Brendan’s photography was awesome too. And the view is unbeatable. I’d recommend it to anyone!

Got a groupon as a gift. Tried to schedule twice. customer service was so rude we decided not to go. the woman who answers the phone could not have had a worse attitude. The groupon had difficult to work with small windows of time to be used… ok fine, I was willing to pay the extra to book when was convenient for me, but this woman was bad enough that I would rather let the groupon go to waste than give them any more money and business. She talked to me like I was an idiot and didn’t make much sense herself.

Took my 12 year old niece from Minnesota here and her sixty something aunt. Made reservations ahead and there were a total of six zippers plus 2 guides.
Guides were OUTSTANDING — Nathan and another cute guy who was getting married in 3 weeks. Wish I could remember his name. Plus Jeannine at the check in gave us an EXCELLENT route to get back to Denver — scenic and avoiding I-​25 for the most part. Even
the drive to the zips was full of jokes and laughter.
9 Zips for $ 89 — about 2 hours give or take. Water along the routes, no facilities. If you’re in shape, like the 12 year old is, the hikes between zips will be fine…
Totally safe, totally fun — thrilling if you like to zip with no hands like I do… sometimes.
A photographer is on the first 3 or 4 zips taking pictures which are run on a screen back at the restaurant. You can buy a flash drive of the entire zip tour showing off your antics — and everyone else’s too.
And of course — the mountains are worth the trip alone!

Nate and Colin were great guides. They were funny, encouraging, and always professional. I recommend the extreme course for sure

Great company! We did the Extreme Zip-​Line tour. This was first time doing any kind of zip line but in all this was a great excursion for me. Linda and Devin they were a great team. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for thrills.

Amazing extreme course. You get your money’s worth for sure! Guides are great, especially Collin and Nate. Views and. Free fall at the end was amazing

Nathan and Devin were our guides throughout the 11 line extreme course. They made me feel extremely comfortable and safe in my harness. They were really good at making our group laugh as well as watching after our safety. Would recommend this company to everyone and anyone that is in Denver. They also have a 1700ft long zip line where you can reach speeds up to 60+mph easy!!! As soon as it ended I wanted to start it all over again. If and when I come back to Denver, this will be my first stop!

Stacy and Cody were awesome! I had never been zip lining and was fairly nervous; but they made it great! Such good teachers! The only thing I wish I would have done was upgrade to the extreme zip because of how fun and exhilarating this one was. It made me feel like an adrenaline junkie: p highly recommend this to anyone and everyone !

Perfect way to spend my milestone birthday. Decker and Lucas were awesome, helpful, friendly and Knowledgeable. Fun, fun, fun from start to finish. Great for a bunch of first timers. Highly recommend. Did the classic course, but seriously considering the extreme course before vacation is over. Thanks for the memories, guys!

Love the free fall at the end Best Zip Lining that I have been on thus far. Colin and Fraser are excellent guides. Will love to do it again in cooler weather

Found this company in a brochure in our hotel lobby. We lucked out to find the best tour company in town.
Our guide — Sarah — was absolutely awesome! Informative, personable and fun! The company provides you with water shoes, wet suits, jackets, helmets, and vests (of course). So wear s bathing suit and bring a change of clothes.
Very detailed preparation prior to our rafting tour. This was full of great information that helped to let all know what could happen and what to do if the unexpected occurred.
They also have a photographer who takes photos on the side near the Rapids that you can purchase… which we did because they were a great memory of a fun filled day.
Stop by the bar and grill before or after — or both. We hit it on a Monday where they had BOGO margaritas. The barbecue nachos were delicious.
Highly recommend.

We had a great experience here. I brought my 16 & 12 year old daughters. We chose the extreme course and rafting in the afternoon. The extreme course includes the super fast longest run which is really cool. My youngest was really scared but the guides were champ and Frazer became her best friend of the day and made her feel confident enough to complete the course and enjoy it. She even felt comfortable enough to make the final leap off the 70 foot tower. It was a great experience for the kids and money well spent

Absolutely fantastical!!! Worth the money and great for groups of up to 8. I highly recommend getting the photos, especially if you are most of the group because they lump in everyone into one usb. Our guides Linda and Cody were absolutely amazing and patient with my husband who is afraid of heights. This is an absolute must do!!!

We had a great experience with Al and Bama! They were awesome and the zip lines were great! We scheduled on the morning of the tour on 6÷28÷15 everyone was very accommodating! We had our teenagers with us as we come this way every year for a softball tournament! We will most likely stop in to see Al and Bama again next year! We all loved it!

My first time zip lining was a great success thanks to the help of our amazing guides. May have been cute too (;
We paid 85 bucks (ish) a person to do 9 lines on the classic tour which is a great deal. Over at the Royal Gorge you pay 40 bucks a person for one line over. Doesn’t seem worth it.
They take great pictures as well and you can purchase them for 35 bucks. You get them all for that price.
Overall I want to go zip lining again and that’s a testament to how great they treated us here.

This was well worth the price. The guides make it simple and encourage you to go faster, when safe. Beautiful views fill any gap in excitement. Ashley and Jimmy were great guides.

Ok, this review is based on their lack of customer service and common business sense. I didn’t do business with them because of this. Let me set the stage. I live in Denver with my girlfriend and we have never been to the Royal Gorge as a couple nor have either of us tried the ziplining. My 17 year old niece is flying in from Indiana and Ziplining is her #1 thing on the «to do» list. With that being the case I immediately went Unilocal and found some options as well as following that up with visits to Groupon and Living social. Surprisingly enough, they had a groupon that essentially cuts the price for the «classic» package in half. After reading the fine print, the dates that the groupon could be used were specific from April 6^th to a future date a that was a little ways out. It is important to note that the groupon doesn’t restrict you to certain DAYS, just certain dates.
I get on the phone with Rachelle (SP?) and explain that my niece is in town and how important this is. Obviously at this point she knows that I have selected Royal Gorge Zip-​Line to be the company that we get to have this first-​time experience with. I then explain that, while my niece is in town from April 1^st through the 8^th, I have to fly out of state for work on the evening of the 5^th (Easter Sunday and ONE day BEFORE the groupon is effective). I simply ask if there is anything that they can do to accommodate us. Keep in mind that without the groupon, I would have to pay an additional $ 120 for the three of us.
She comes back on the phone and says that she spoke to the «manager» and they were going to give us the groupon price for Sunday. She says that even though it is a day earlier than the groupon’s effective date, they are going to take care of me! You can definitely imagine my excitement. I am pumped! So I start to go over the details of my flight plans and we decide that it would be better to do the morning tour so I can be at the airport in time… then she drops the bomb on me. «oh wait… I am sorry… Sunday is Easter.» I am silent at first because she didn’t include what that MEANS. After saying, «ok, is that a problem?», she responds, «yes, unfortunately we are closed on Easter».
Here is where this company has the opportunity to hit a home run with a customer or completely strike out.
I say, «ok…well since you are closed and you clearly are going above and beyond to help me out, lets just do it on the 4^th, the Saturday before.» She proceeds to explain that they are too busy on Saturdays to offer me the same thing that they ALREADY offered me for Sunday. I’m calm but clearly concerned now. I clarify that the Groupon, once it is effective, can be used on Saturdays and Sundays and she confirms. Then I ask her to speak to the same manager that made the initial promise to adjust it because they aren’t even open. She comes back and says NO, I will have to pay full price on Saturday.
Now I am really blown away. You mean to tell me you will bend the rules for a Sunday and because you «understand» and you «care», but when it comes to Saturday… OHHHHHH NOOOO we are going to make too much money so we can’t extend our word to you for a day earlier because WE messed UP? Well needless to say, we went to the Royal Gorge, I did take a my niece ziplining and she loved it. She had no idea what I went through with Royal Gorge Ziplines and I hope she never finds out. I hope that she never sees the greed that is disguised by so many businesses, just like Royal Gorge Ziplines. Oh the desire for the all mighty dollar… if you care about your customers, you do the right thing. That is why this review is so long and if you read this all, you clearly care about experiences and customer service. Don’t even waste your time with these jokers. Go somewhere else and save yourself the thought that you are going to be giving your business that treats people like this. Glad I live in Denver so I can steer ANY and ALL of my friends away from this company.

Great experience with our guides Chainsaw and Bama. Safe, fun and very entertaining! Will go back for the extreme course. Worth the drive from Denver.

My first time zip lining in October and it sure was memorable!
Great guides Linda and Fraser made it feel safe and fun.
Besides husbo and myself there were two others in our group.
Perfect size. From the tour store, we all got in a really large van and drove about 10 minutes to the zip park. Before we started, we had to go through «ground school» to get acquainted with our equipment and procedures. Confidence!
I was nervous, but we started with the shortest, lowest line and gradually worked our way up. Some lines were next to others, but sometimes we had to hike to the next line on a pretty orange rock path through brush, trees and cacti. What an amazing area with great views. Worth the trip just for the atmosphere alone!
As nervous as I was, I didn’t pee my pants like I thought. Maybe the extreme course would have been more thrilling. The guides said the extreme course really was extreme though… This was the course for everyone. I am glad I started here!
There was a photographer who followed on the trip and documented every zip. We did buy the disc of photos at the end after previewing them on the large TV in the lobby of the tour store. Memories to last a lifetime… priceless.

Went with my friends from out of town & had a blast! Military friendly/​gave us a good price! Funny outgoing & friendly staff! I forgot our guides name but they all seemed cool! The bar/​restaurant next door is a must! Fun atmosphere, good beer & an all around great time! Kiddos will love the playground while you kick back & enjoy your food & drinks! Amazing views & can’t say enough nice things about the staff!

Went on the extreme course in July. We saw an opportunity of a nice weather day and headed out from Colorado Springs to Cañon City for a spontaneous funday.
We stopped by the week before to ensure walk ins were easy to come by, and that they were. We were able to book a two person extreme course tour at 11am for 130.
They offer two courses, the classic and extreme.
We opted for the extreme based on the amount of lines and the pricing. Both are pricey for a half day of stuff but they are comparable to other sites with more courses and a tower drop.
Our guides were James and Cody. Both were fun, knowledgable, and entertaining.
All of the staff members were super friendly and helpful.
We were really glad that we did the extreme course, I don’t think the classic would’ve satisfied our need to adventure.
Photos were taken by a staffer and they have pretty good photo packages.
We did bring GOPROs so were were able to capture our jumps.
Word of advice, don’t let anyone set your camera! One of their staff changed one of our cameras to picture mode.
Womp womp…
