Q&A

Q: What should I wear on the Small Group Characteristic Towns tour? Is it mostly outdoors?

A: I'd suggest dressing in layers! Since you're visiting places like Estes Park where it can be cooler in the mountains, you might want a light jacket. Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be doing some walking around places like Pearl Street Mall in Boulder too. And don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen, especially if the weather is nice!

Q: How much walking is involved? Is this good for older adults?

A: The tour has a manageable amount of walking, especially around Boulder and Golden. Most of the sights are accessible, but there might be some uneven surfaces. If the older adults can handle a stroll and are okay with some stops, they should enjoy it! Make sure they stay hydrated and take breaks if needed.

Q: Is there a good place to park if I drive to the meeting point in Denver?

A: There are several parking garages around the meeting point in Denver, plus metered street parking. I’d recommend arriving a bit early to find a spot. Just keep an eye on the meter time! If you’re using a garage, check online for rates beforehand to avoid surprises.

Considering gifting the Small Group Characteristic Towns Tour – Need Input!

I’m thinking of getting this tour for my parents’ anniversary. They love history and nature, but I want to make sure it's not too long or strenuous for them. I saw some reviews, and people seem to have a great time, so I’m leaning towards it. Any advice from someone who's been?
