“Truly fun outing for all - College Students to Grandparent in our group - My 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.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-05
