Due to inconsistent demand, I've decided to remove my weekend walking tours from the calendar.

A minimum of two participants is required to book a tour.
If I'm in town and available, I'd be happy to arrange a private walking tour for you. My schedule is fairly flexible, so it's often easier to work around your availability.
I look forward to showing you around Boulder!
ABOUT THE TOUR
Welcome to Boulder, Colorado - a perfect blend of culture, nature, and charm.
Have you ever wondered about the origins of Boulder's settlement days?
Do you know what Chief Niwot's name really means? Did you know about the labyrinthine floor design that you walk along as a metaphor for life in the 100+ year-old First Methodist Church across from the Boulder Theater? Can you guess how many nails it took to piece together the Dushanbe Tea House?
If you answered "I don't know" to any of these and now you're curious, well then you should unleash your adventurous and curious spirit and join Jitka, a local realtor and dedicated traveler on a casual stroll through the historic downtown Boulder!
On this nearly 2-hour tour, we will cover Boulder’s fascinating old west, mining and cultural histories from the mid-1800’s until the present day. We’ll talk about the early days of Boulder, and learn how our neighborhoods developed over time.
Along the way we'll stop frequently and allow everyone to engage and ask questions.
This tour runs on a pay-what-you-want basis, which means that you get to decide how much the tour was worth at the end.
Tours are casual, flexible, and fun, so bring your curiosity and a comfortable pair of walking shoes!

How much does this tour cost?

ABOUT JITKA
I am an avid traveler who loves nothing more than to go and explore new places around this wonderful world of ours.
While I love to venture out of town, I also have a very big spot in my heart for my homebase, Boulder, Colorado.
Wanting to know more about the town I now call home,
inspired by the many walking tours I've taken over the globe and my love and passion for this community, I decided to start this fun project in Boulder.
After months and months of learning about this town's rowdy, conservative, artistic, law and treaty breaking, innovative and entrepreneurial past - I've crafted a 2-hour walking tour through the historic downtown Boulder.
My hope is to introduce locals and out of town visitors alike to the people and places of Boulder from the early 1800s to present day, who shaped this amazing city we live in today. These tours are also a great way for strangers to meet and interact with one another, as they come together to learn how strangers from the past also came together to form our current community.
Jitka works as a full-time Boulder realtor with WK Real Estate.
She enjoys the great Colorado outdoors in her free time.
