    Fun outing with delicious tacos and margaritas!

    Beth was a great guide! She navigated us around downtown Colorado Springs pointing out the local landmarks, art and history. The stories about the city founders and their influences were interesting. As for the Tacos and tequila theme, it was spot on - we enjoyed all 3 restaurants! Each was distinct in their own way, and all the tacos and margaritas were excellent and unique! Beth made a special point of pointing out 2 birthdays in the group that resulted in tequila shots! The tour is definitely worth doing - was a great way to learn Colorado Sprints history, enjoy visiting with the other participants, and have plenty of food and drink for dinner - fun outing!

    Response from the operator: Tacos, tequila, birthdays, and Beth—now that’s a party! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the unique stops, local history, and plenty of delicious food and drinks.

    Amazing food and experience!

    This was a great food tour! We loved each place we went - the food and drinks were all super!

    Response from the operator: That’s what we love to hear! Great food, delicious drinks, and plenty of variety along the way. Thanks for eating and sipping your way through The Springs with us!

    Great food, AMAZING host!

    Food was amazing and Beth was a hoot!

    Response from the operator: Amazing food and Beth being a hoot—sounds like a recipe for a great afternoon! We’re so glad you had fun exploring with us!

    Tacos and Tequila!

    Highly recommend this tour! Kathy was a great guide and the tacos and cocktails were all different and tasty. This is a great tour to do with out of town guests, and it did not repeat any of the places on the Original Food Tour (we did that one a couple of days before). I live in Colorado Springs, but don't go walking around downtown that often. This tour is a great excuse to go out early on a Friday evening, then you're conveniently downtown to do other activities afterwards.

    Response from the operator: Two tours in one week—we love it! We’re thrilled Kathy made round two just as delicious. Thanks for exploring your own backyard with us!

    Beth with an H

    Beth was very knowledgeable and fun. She really knew everyone on our tour and you can tell that she goes the extra mile with her tours. She even helped us find a dog sitter after since we are traveling with our dog and need someone to help us with him while we go hiking. Five star experience!

    Response from the operator: Beth really does go the extra mile—sometimes beyond the tour! We’re thrilled you had a five-star experience and appreciated her personal touch. Thanks for joining us!

    Cocktails & Tacos Tour in Colorado Springs: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Colorado Springs.

    How much does Cocktails & Tacos Tour in Colorado Springs cost?

    +

    Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Colorado Springs usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cocktails & Tacos Tour in Colorado Springs take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Colorado Springs is not rushed.

    Is Cocktails & Tacos Tour in Colorado Springs worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 104 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Colorado Springs, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cocktails & Tacos Tour in Colorado Springs?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cocktails & Tacos Tour in Colorado Springs suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cocktails & Tacos Tour in Colorado Springs?

    +

    Around 36 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Colorado Springs can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Colorado Springs and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cocktails & Tacos Tour in Colorado Springs start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Colorado Springs within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Colorado Springs?

    +

    Colorado Springs runs Pikes Peak cog railway and jeep tours, Garden of the Gods drives and climbs, Manitou Springs walks, zip lines and Royal Gorge day trips. On Outty we rank every Colorado Springs experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pikes Peak Jeep Tour, Classic Food Tour in Colorado Springs, Signature Fins Course Scenic Zipline Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Colorado Springs?

    +

    May to September, with cog railway seats selling out in July and August. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Colorado Springs?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
