Did both the discovery and the expedition tour and loved both, my favorite was the expedition, crawling through the cave was amazing and felt truly special. Our guide drew B. Was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with, no question went unanswered and when we got the chance to explore the playground (a portion of the cave where we were given free reign on where we went and crawled through, supervised of course) he gave us the tips and tricks of getting around efficiently (I pride myself in being able to get through the badger nest without getting my feet soaked). Even when returning he made sure that we had a chance to look at everything and gave us the opportunity to go through razorback since he deemed us fit enough to, which I doubt he would if he wasn’t absolutely sure we’d be ok. Truly an amazing experience and I couldn’t recommend it more. Pray you get drew because he’s awesome. I wish I could’ve gotten pictures of inside the cave and crawling through the tight spots but it’s recommended to not bring any valuables which I highly recommend complying with, so my one gripe would be maybe placing a camera at specific spots so the guides can take a picture or two for the guest (it’s a stretch, I know not every guide wants to be a photographer but it’s a recommendation) personally I would suggest thieves canyon and the razorback passage for a camera stash

The tour was not too bad physically and was worth the money. Didn't experience the other guides but I have experienced this tour a few different times in my life and this time was a whole different experience. I dont remember having so much fun on the other tours and we would like to personally thank and recommend touring with Rebecca (Becca), she did a fantastic job really made our tour fun and exciting.

This was more than a 5 star experience. Drew B was our tour guide for the Adventure Tour and let me tell you, what an amazing experience it was to be guided deep into the caves with his knowledge, patience, acknowledgment to our abilities in the group. Drew was professional and EXTREMELY informative on geology, rescue practices and the history of the cave. We are traveling from Rhode Island and can’t wait for our next trip here. So worth your time, money, and you’ll make the most amazing memories. Thank you Drew, and best of luck to Tour Guide Savanna who was observing to guide this tour herself. From start to finish flawless experience, as I sit here with my Paliside Peach Beer and a smile on my face. P.S. you’ll get VERY dirty on the Adventure Tour!! Thank you to all staff at Caves of the Wind for another memorable experience.

We did the Lantern Tour this past weekend, with November as our guide; it was such a fun experience! Like any spooky experience, half the fun is "playing along"- our favorite part was when we entered a small section of the cave, and everyone turned their lights out for a minute or two. I believe they said they're renovating a section of the cave, so there was a lot of crossover with other groups (lots of "stand against the wall to let them pass") but only towards the entrances/exits. The lanterns are just bottles of lighter fluid stuck inside a bucket, so if you get one that's low on fluid, good luck! November was an amazing guide- she was fun, kind, and informative. Don't forget a jacket- the temperature changes the second you start entering the cave.

We had such a great experience at Cave of the Winds! The cave tour itself was fascinating and fun for both the kids and adults. Our tour guide Ven was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining, and really knew how to keep everyone interested throughout the tour.
We learned a lot without it ever feeling boring, and the guide did a great job explaining the history and different formations inside the cave. The whole experience felt well organized, the staff was helpful, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our Colorado Springs trip.
A very unique and memorable place to visit. Highly recommended for families!
