Reviews
My wife and I have participated in multiple Traces of the Past history tours with friends and family visiting from out of town. Mark offers an impressive wealth of knowledge, especially about local history. He shares firsthand accounts of key historical events derived from books and other sources, along with local legends that, although unverifiable, seem plausible. Mark guides us to various locations in Fort Collins, highlighting historical buildings that remain today, and illustrates his points with maps, diagrams, and images of artifacts that have since disappeared. His extensive research and storytelling skills truly bring local history alive, making you feel immersed in the past. Each tour has significantly deepened our understanding of the area and its crucial role in the settlement of the American West. Mark's history tours are definitely worth experiencing. We're eager to join another tour soon. It's a great way for us to provide an engaging experience for visiting friends and family while also expanding our knowledge of this incredible local history.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and apply sunscreen. The maps offered useful locational references that enhanced the overall experience.
