We took the Boulder tour, and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. This is an old school bus which has been converted to a fun way to see the city. The ghost tour had snippets of local info mixed in, and was fun for young and old. more

This was a spur of the moment decision, and it far exceeded our expectations. The hosts were very friendly and had the best sense of humor. You're allowed to bring your own beer to sip while you drive around. And to prevent spillage, there are holders conveniently next to every seat! Totally worth every penny... more

This was a great way to see Boulder. Banjo Billy is a great tour guide, very funny, and very knowledgeable about the history of Boulder. The price was great, it's just the right length (about 1.5 hours), and the bus is very cool. I would recommend it to anyone- great for kids, 20-somethings, adults, families, etc. The stories were interesting... more

This was so much fun, make sure to book a tour in advance if you are going to be in Boulder this summer. John, aka, Banjo Billy, was a wonderful entertainer and full of interesting tidbits about Boulder and its residents and past visitors. One note, some of the tales are not quite PG, so if you or your kids... more

My family came to boulder for my graduation and we decided to go on the Banjo Billy Bus Tour over a trip to the casinos at Blackhawk. I am SO glad we did! All twelve of us piled into the Banjo Billy Bus which looks like a hillbilly shack and has recliners, saddles, and couches for seats. The tour included... more

You have to take this tour! This tour's not like anything you've done before- not at all a boring, typical tour! The funky bus makes you smile the whole time, and then you get to ride around and hear some cool details about Boulder that you wouldn't ever hear otherwise! It's a great way to see the city and learn... more

I've been coming to Boulder for since 1987 and it has steadily become more upscale. That's not bad as it's still a great place, but the funky hippy culture has faded. However, this summer we stumbled past one funky tour. This guy has cut the top off a school bus and made a cabin on wheels and gives an hour... more
