Colorado Springs has historically been a city of tourists and travelers. From horses, to coaches, to trains, to trolleys and automobiles, the very first settlers of the town were excited to boast the amazements of the area. They welcomed travelers from far and wide to come and see all of the treasures Colorado Springs had to offer.
Welcome Friends! There is much to see and do! It is my pleasure to host you as we stroll through the streets of Colorado Springs and explore the past, present and future of this great city.

5.00We always try to book a city tour when we visit new places to learn more about the city and see the "must see" sights. When we can, we always enjoy a walking tour because you can absorb more than a quick drive-by. Mary Louise gave a great tour with some very animated stories. You can tell she has researched Colorado Springs history. Highly recommend this tour for visitors and COS residents that want to learn more about their city.
Very informative tour

5.00A really nice experience. The small group allowed for a very flexible and almost custom tour. We love taking these sorts of tours in new towns we visit, especially smaller cities whose stories aren’t widely known. A combination of history, art/architecture and the local ‘vibe.’ Very well worth it.
Truly fun outing for all - College Students to Grandparent in our group

5.00My family had a great time on this tour. Mary Louise is fun, friendly, and knows her history! I loved her passing and all the fun facts about Colorado Springs. In fact, she really loves her town and the people that made Colorado Springs what it is today. Note only did she know the history; she had photos to show us of what buildings looked like back in the day. We had college students to grandparents, and all of us had a great time. That we got to taste cookies at Mary's Mountain Cookies and ended at an Irish pub with nachos and drinks made this a truly fun outing for all. In fact, I loved it so much I bragged it up on Facebook. This is truly the perfect break from all the outdoor adventures you can experience in Colorado Springs! We drove up from Boulder and back again; it was worth the drive. Next time we have out-of-town guests, this tour is on the agenda! Thank you for a great tour.
Great experience

5.00So glad we did this! We had taken a food tour a few days early and learned a lot of the history of the area so we expected to hear the same things. We were pleasantly surprised - this was different with tons of interesting history. She was a great guide - personable and interesting. We worth taking
