Gail is a great storyteller. I could really tell that she loves Breck and its history. I want expecting to learn about major film connections so that was a nice treat.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your very kind comments. You are right - I do love Breckenridge !!!

Excellent and interesting tour. Our family of 5 adults enjoyed it a lot. I would recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thats kind of you. So glad you enjoyed your tour!

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!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
You are right that I am a history buff and have always been fascinated by the "strange" stories that have happened in our little ski town :))
Michael_P, Oct 2023
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.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you for your kind comments. So glad you enjoyed the tour! Next time try the Ghostly Tales tour.

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.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you so much! It is always fun to pass on the very Strange but True stories of our fascinating town.
Cindy_M, Aug 2023
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.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
You are too kind! Looking forward to seeing you again on the English Tea Tour or Voices from the Grave.
Dihanna_F, May 2023
Gail was very knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller! We loved it! Highly recommend! Thanks, Gail!
Response from Host, May 2023

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.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Thank you for your comments. Most people dont realize that there are so many strange events that have occurred here!
Aruna_C, Jan 2022
No memorable parts. It was a talk and not a tour. We could have got that information from Wikipedia. It should be renamed gossip tour rather than strange but true
Response from Host, Jan 2022
I am very sorry that you werent happy with the tour.
In 7 years I have been operating this tour I have never had any complaints about the content. The stories involve and allude to the history of Breckenridge along the way and I am sorry that is not to your taste - all factual stories of our fascinating town.
Krystle_R, Nov 2021
We really enjoyed our tour with Gail. She did a great job and made the tour personable! I would absolutely go on other tours that she leads and recommend this tour for anyone who is new to Breckenridge!
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Thanks you so much. I look forward to seeing you again on the Strange but True or Voices from the Grave tour!
Janet_P, Sep 2021
Gail was a great story teller. I thought we would get more history and see more of Breckinridge. I take the responsibility of missing the point of the tour. This tour is truly stories that have happened in Breckinridge.
Stephen_R, Jul 2021
Was a different way to be given introduction to town. Learned a few things that were personal stops of guide. Got to see a little of town. If you want history tour probably best to take history tour but this was a alternative tour so to speak and it fit in with our time frame.
Response from Host, Aug 2021
The Strange but True tour is definitely designed to be stories of the unusual/mysterious side of Breckenridge but not a substitute for the historical tour.
In the summer I offer a tour called English Tea tour which tells the history as a "living history" character of our Victorian town.
Andrea_N, Jun 2021
Great tour with a lively guide!! Good history of Breckenridge.
Beautiful weather with a small group and great stories.
Response from Host, Jun 2021
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bob_T, Oct 2020
Great tour to learn about the founding of city of Breckenridge. Interesting stories about some of the influential and notorious people from the area. Gail wore a small microphone/speaker which made it very easy to hear her even with street noise. Very enjoyable.
Response from Host, Jan 2021
So glad you enjoyed the tour. I think our stories are fascinating and I am so glad you could hear me even with the distraction of street noise!
Lea_R, Jul 2020
Gail was on-time and did the tour for us even though we only booked it that day. Not sure she could always do that but we appreciated it. She told lots of interesting stories which helped make our time in Breckenridge more meaningful and fun!
Response from Host, Jul 2020
So glad I was able to take you on the Strange but True tour at short notice. I always try to accommodate guests when I can :)
DORI_C, Feb 2020
Gail was a wonderful storyteller. We had a great time walking around with her and listening to the stories of Breck!
Response from Host, Mar 2020
Thank you very much Dori. I love telling the lesser known stories of our town's past!
