Staff

Tour the West founder Itai Boneh grew up in Boulder, Colorado, where he developed an appreciation for the natural world. This passion led him to earn a Master’s in Environmental Science from Yale University. Before becoming a guide, Itai worked as an environmental consultant, but he discovered that guiding was his true calling.
