Boulder Walking Tours

My husband and I booked two tours with the Boulder Walking Tour Company; one for Chautauqua, and one for downtown Boulder. Kent Carter Young was our tour guide for both. From the beginning we were impressed with the depth of knowledge that Kent has. He provided an excellent overview of both the history and the current «lay of the land «on both tours. Kent has a wonderful book of photos from the early settlement days that he shared with us. Can’t imagine learning more or having a better time on any other tour. If you want a stellar tour ask for Kent!

Nice lady walked us through downtown/​Pearl St. Showed us the 19^th C. buildings and how they had been preserved or remodeled. Lots of time showing us the local stores and restaurants (not of much interest to me but might be to other visitors). Would have loved to have heard more about the history of Boulder’s older buildings and the people who built them but the guides are not historians so I am sure this was their best effort.
Reasonably priced and worth going on a tour.

We did «Best of Downtown Boulder». Amazing!

Lori does a nice job giving a «behind the ropes» experience of the Boulder Farmers’ Market. We took the tour looking to speak directly with some of the farmers and small business owners and we certainly got the chance to ask all the questions we wanted to ask. If you desire the same, definitely take the tour on Wednesday evening as Lori recommends. Otherwise the market is too crazy to do this on Saturday morning. I would give the tour 4 stars instead of 3 had she known more business owners at the market. She seemed to know 3 people out of many vendors and personally I think she should network with many more to build her reputation and to give folks the opportunity to interact with more business owners. The $ 5 in market bucks was a nice perk.

I can’t believe I am the first person to review this fabulous tour. Lori, a sociology professor at the university, has put together a fun tour (between 1−½ hour to 1−¾ hour). Lori walks a small group around town weaving together stories from early settlers to present day. Explore the neighborhoods and people who made Boulder what it is today. The tour was fun and engaging and well worth the reasonable $ 15 fee. This is a great activity for local residents and visitors alike. I would like to bring out of town guests in the future. This was the highlight of my weekend trip and I would heartily recommend it.
