Boulder Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

It was my first time taking a guided tour in Rocky Mtn National Park and I might not ever choose to do it any other way. While I love seeing wildlife, I haven't had much luck spotting animals on my own. On this trip, I saw not JUST birds, deer and elk, but moose and a bear! The guides are knowledgeable and accommodating, and I hope to do this again each season.

On this tour our guide was David. He gave us a wealth of information not only about the Rocky Mountains National Park but also about Denver, Boulder, Estes Park, and Colorado. We appreciated his sense of humor, too.

Friendly knowledgeable guide. Bikes work very well. Scenery along the boulder creek is beautiful!!!!

Our tour guide knew a ton of information and super awesome!

Excellent history and ecological discussion by guide. Good breaks. No words of improvement.

We had an excellent time on our tour with Itai from Tour the West. He is remarkably knowledgeable about the area's flora, fauna, and geology, and he shares it with real warmth. We learned about the tectonic forces that shaped the landscape and talked about the Continental Divide, and as a true local, he gave us a depth of insight into the region and broader Colorado that we simply couldn't have gotten on our own. Spending the day with him was a joy.We felt well cared for from pickup to drop-off, with snacks, a thoughtful lunch, and frequent rest stops along the way. He tailored the tour to us rather than running a script, which made it feel personal. And the wildlife was incredible: we saw moose, elk, deer, and plenty of birds, and even heard a pika.His van is top notch, too. It was comfortable, and we were able to keep our phones charged the whole day.We'd recommend Itai and Tour the West without hesitation.

Experience was awesome - all the work was done for us. Took my 12 year old son. Couldn’t have been happier with the entire day!

It was perfect for our Rocky Mountain adventures. It follows through GPS! Make sure to download while you are still on WiFi.

Excellent way to travel the park. Outstanding!!

This was a wonderful experience, a fantastic introduction to the beauty of Boulder. We have been on other guided hikes and this one stood apart. Ciara took a very thoughtful approach, tailoring the hike, yoga, and guided meditation to fit our family. We loved the experience — it was rejuvenating and a great start to our visit to Boulder. We highly recommend and we would definitely sign up with Ciara again.

Great bike, great route, excellent guide… Jacob is the best and it was super fun and informative riding w him!

I went to Boulder to engage in some outdoor activities and to get to know the town. Since the campus is central to Boulder, I wanted to start there. I’m also interested in how universities are developing so you can see why this option interested me. It didn’t disappoint. With my student guide Nelson’s help I got to see all corners of their beautiful campus, explore the buildings and hear his take on being a student there. For me, in the end it was extremely useful to have someone attentive to my interests who knew what they were doing and who was a pleasant hang.

Great tour! Jacob was an awesome guide. We saw so much of the area and ended with a delicious ice cream!

We really enjoyed this audio guide as we drove thru Rocky Mountain National Park. It was interesting to hear fun facts as we drove and to be informed when there might be sightings of animals. The heads up as to when a good place to pull over to take photos was very helpful as well. The guide worked exactly as explained when you purchased it and the instructions for an easy download was appreciated.

We loved this e bike tour. First time on e-bikes but it was easy from the start. Guide was Bode. He was great. He was interesting and fun. His chill mojo was infectious 🤩😎. Loved the sights and many chances for a looksee and pics off the bike too. Would recommend to others! Thx🤙

Nick explained the important sites of Boulder. He was pleasant, affable and informative. The e bikes were great and came with water and saddle bags for storage. Would recommend this tour.
