Just not that informative
Seemed like advertising for Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory without much information that wasn’t well known.

First CO tour
Great job on sharing details of the tour and the self pace is awesome. The options to look further into the stoping points and the added pictures to inform where you are is really helpful.
via Tripadvisor
Great walk
It was very interesting and informative. Nice to go at your own pace. We enjoyed learning about your town.
via Viator
Excellent audio walking tour of Boulder history
Though I have been to Boulder many times in the past, I found this tour to provide insights that I was not previously aware of. The self pace feature made it very time efficient. Clear to understand.
via Viator
Not for the technologically unsavvy
Nice idea but I get frustrated easily with technology and I had a hard time figuring out how to start the audio tour. Once I figured it out it was good

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Downtown Boulder Smartphone Guided Audio GPS Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Boulder.
How much does Downtown Boulder Smartphone Guided Audio GPS Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Boulder usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Downtown Boulder Smartphone Guided Audio GPS Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Boulder is not rushed.
Is Downtown Boulder Smartphone Guided Audio GPS Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Boulder, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Downtown Boulder Smartphone Guided Audio GPS Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Downtown Boulder Smartphone Guided Audio GPS Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Downtown Boulder Smartphone Guided Audio GPS Walking Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Boulder can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Boulder and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Downtown Boulder Smartphone Guided Audio GPS Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Boulder within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Boulder?
+
Boulder pairs Flatirons hiking and climbing with Pearl Street food and brewery walks, e-bike tours along Boulder Creek and Rocky Mountain National Park day trips. On Outty we rank every Boulder experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover Rocky Mountain National Park-Small Group Tour & Picnic, Rocky Mountain National Park Guided Small Group Tour, Best of Boulder E-Bike Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Boulder?
+
May to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Boulder?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
