We had an amazing day with Hondo! Right from the start he made us feel comfortable and made sure the day went by smoothly! He was a wealth of information and accommodated the tour to include more information about topics we were interested in! Our group ages ranged from 21-78 and he made sure to appeal to every age in the group! The pace was pleasant and made for a great day- he is obviously passionate about the history and could not have been nicer!

Hondo was an engaging storyteller providing anecdotes rather than simply reciting facts. With a small group setting, there was ample chance to participate and ask questions.

Chris is incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining and just a really nice person to hang with for a couple of hours. His historical perspective isn’t just facts and figures, but also stories and personalities. The pace was relaxed but kept moving along at a comfortable pace. We were a small group and there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions. We got more than our money’s worth.

This tour was great! It was more historical and less wild west than I thought it would be but it gave me great insight into the city of Golden and I learned more than I knew! It's a great intro into the city and was a wonderful little walk where I learned a ton! The tour guide Hondo was amazing and knew soooo much!! I would definitely book this again!

I enjoyed the whole tour! We walked to and around numerous historic places in Golden, with interesting stories about each. The stories of Adolph Coors, the Armory building, William Loveland and the Old Capital Grill building when Golden was the Territorial Capital, the Welcome to Golden sign, the Harmsen’s creation of Jolly Ranchers, the Foss building, and the trip through the History Museum’s Park stood out as most interesting for me. It was an interesting 2-hour tour as we heard about Golden’s history. The tour guide spoke loudly enough that the traffic very seldom interrupted our interesting tour guide.
