Gail Westwood was our guide and she was absolutely incredible. She is clearly a Breckenridge history buff and was super interesting with her knowledge base and her method of delivery of all things "strange but true". She is amazing! Totally recommend!

Michael_P

Gail was terrific. Her knowledge of, and personal involvement in, some of these tales made them extremely engaging and entertaining. Being able to walk right up to the locations where the stories occurred made the stories even more interesting. I strongly encourage anyone who enjoys history and loves Colorado to sign up for a tour.

Nikki_B

Gail was great! Very entertaining and personable. She also made sure to find spots in the shade and where we weren’t standing for too long. Would definitely recommend - she did a great job bringing Breck town history to life, all while standing in front of the very buildings she was talking about.

Cindy_M

Gail is an expert storyteller! Great stories with a twist at the end. We will definitely go on her other tours when we visit again.

Dihanna_F

Gail was very knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller! We loved it! Highly recommend! Thanks, Gail!

Gail was a great and knowledgeable tour guide. Since it was our first trip to Breckenridge she gave us a brief history lesson about the ski town’s history. Gail was entertaining and funny as she walked us though town and told us interesting stories that occurred in Breckenridge. I definitely recommend this walking tour.

Gail told interesting family friendly strange tails of everyday life in Breckenridge CO. Changing the names to protect the innocent who may still live in Breckenridge. I would recommend her tour.

Kelli H

More dark, than strange. I was not a fan of the domestic violence stories. Would have enjoyed a bit more history, as well as pointing out more buildings.

Gail was fantastic! Great stories and a great story teller. Highly recommended! We will be taking her Ghost Story Tour next time we are in Breck.

We signed up for this tour rather last minute. I do have to say- paying with other then PayPal or Venmo was very difficult. I actually emailed the company to make sure our order went through because it wasn't clear and we did not receive an email receipt. Some of us would rather use other forms of payment. At any rate-we met Gail at the appointed place right on time. We walked around downtown Breckenridge and there were plenty of chances to sit down. This was very welcome as my husband has a heart condition and was having trouble adjusting to the altitude. The stories Gail told were very plausible- she is a long time resident and knew some of the people involved in some of the stories. We never once felt the tour was anything but what was advertised and we were very pleased. We highly recommend this tour to those visiting Breckenridge. One of the few activities that did not deal with Breckenridge as a mining town in the 1800's but " the new" Breckenridge as a ski " family friendly" town.
