We really enjoyed this tour. Ellie was a lot of fun and provided tons of great local history and lore. She also pointed out architectural features and explained city planning past and present. I would recommend this tour to a local as well as a tourist! I live in Boulder and was amazed by the little details I had never... More

When my family heard "walking tour", there were moans and groans... until 2 hours later when they returned. The moans and groans had become exclamations of delight: "So interesting! Who knew!" "The very best way to see Boulder!" "Lori was so full of fun, and facts, and interesting information - a gem." "I can't believe that was 2 hours, felt... More

I am a Boulder resident who took an out-of-town friend on this tour. Ellie, our tour guide, made every minute an adventure. I learned so much about the town I live in and my Maine-based friend was dazzled. Boulder is a beautiful place, and there is so much that lies beneath the surface. This is the best way to experience... More

My husband and I took this walking tour on Saturday as part of a birthday weekend getaway. Although we are Colorado residents, we've only been to Boulder a few times. In the past, we mostly just walked around the Pearl Street Mall area. Lori, a sociology professor at the university, put together a highly informative and interesting walking tour of... More

Throughout the tour, Lori was personable and always willing to tell you cool facts about Boulder. It was a hot day and she managed to fi.d several shady spots, which was great for my Grandma. We also got some great exercise walking around as well. I would highly recommend this tour. Towards the end of the tour, she was describing... More

My husband and I lived in Boulder at one time and had not visited in many years. We had a convention in Denver and went early to spend a few days in Boulder. On Saturday morning we met at the Boulderado Hotel to start the tour with Ellie. Ellie told stories and history as she led us to see many... More

We visit Boulder every year on vacation, but this tour was really informative and entertaining. We were shown sites and told stories that made this visit to Boulder much more interesting. More

We met Ellie in front of the Hotel Boulderado and from that moment on it was a wonderful journey. She didn't just point out things--she gave us the history behind them --all the while weaving a story of how Boulder became the city it is today. We now have a completely different view of the city. And, she wasn't constantly... More

Ellie was our guide on this delightful tour. She is obviously very keen on Boulder and the way of life in the area and this made her enjoyable to listen to. We came away with many ideas of what to do in town that we hadn't previously considered. The guide made every effort to communicate with everyone on the tour... More
