Tours and events begin at the Grove Hotel, adjacent to the Boise Centre on the Grove where GLOBAL 2007 is being held. Participants are responsible for finding their own transportation to the meeting point in the Grove Hotel Lobby before tours - also for transportation back to their respective hotels.

There be no transportation provided to/from the Grove Hotel between specific tour sites. Once the vehicle leaves the Grove Hotel, it will not return until all the tours for that particular day are completed. If you are interested in visiting only one tour site during a particulary day (for example: if you wish to visit the Boise Botanical Garden on Monday but do not wish to visit the Old Idaho Penitentiary later that morning), you must arrange your own transportation back to your hotel.
