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.
