CU Boulder: A Learning Landmark: This fun and informative stroll through the award-winning CU-Boulder campus offers a thorough exploration of today's dynamic university, but rooted in background from yesteryear. The first building, opened in 1876, sat atop a donated, treeless bluff, its bell tower ringing the vision that spurred “Old Main” and, indeed, the town of Boulder itself. Since then, the campus has expanded in significance ~ architecturally, intellectually, and civically. Come wander, and wonder, with us! « less

My son and I have done many walks in San Francisco, and decided to try the Boulder walk as he had recently moved there. The walk was 1 3/4 hours of fascinating history and interesting facts about this charming town. Lori was so effervescent, and eager to share her knowledge of this very unusual city. The founding fathers had a... More

We were in Boulder for the Admitted Students day and took this tour to get acquainted with the town. Although the date wasn't available to book on the calendar, I contacted Lori and she set up a tour for us outside her normal schedule. My teenage sons were complaining about going a tour "We HATE tours, Mom!", preferring to explore... More

We had such a fine time taking this tour! It was very informative re: Boulder history, culture past and present, and particular points of interest you'd likely not find on your own. By the time is was over, I was about ready to move to Boulder...or at the very least plan to visit again. Shireen (our guide) was very thorough... More

Not only did we learn the fascinating and surprising history of Boulder, but we had a great lunch at one of the tour stops, The Teahouse. Our guide was knowledgeable, articulate, enthusiastic, and very attuned to our groups' interests. My husband and I had a great time and ended up spending a whole wonderful day in Boulder.

The Downtown Boulder walking tour was a delightful jaunt through the entire history of the downtown area. Our tour guide showed us amazing pictures of when the area was first being developed while standing in front of what they had become. She was delightfully informative and added to an area that is already fun to visit.

The tour covered everything architecture, history, culture, commerce, tourism and even added some quirky and little know details. Our guide, Ellie, shared her love of Boulder with good feeling and vibe. Very interesting and worthwhile, highly recommended!

After living here for 23 years my sister suggested that we take a walking tour of boulder so I signed us up. We learned so much about our cities roots and early settlers through the engaging stories that Lori told us. She answered and pondered questions with us. She made it fun! Our 13 year old found it interesting too!... More
