My new favorite way to see Denver!! I’m from Denver and learned so much. Our guide, Victor, was funny and kind and knows so much about Denver!! And the ghost stories were great! Scary history in this city! It was a beautiful day and the tour ended right at lunchtime — a perfect start to a perfect day in Denver!!

I had a great time on this tour, especially with our tour guide Victor, who was super knowledgeable and personable, especially to me and the other guests who had tons of questions. This experience is great for both the new to town tourist, and the folks who have been here a while - I’ve lived in Colorado for the past 10 + years and learned tons of new info about the city, as well as heard some fun ghost stories 👻👻 Great paced walking with plenty of food and bathrooms around if needed! Overall awesome way to take in the city!

First of all, I thoroughly enjoyed our guide Victor! He really made an effort to connect with his guests and made us feel very comfortable! The tour included just the right amount of history and stories to make it memorable and not overwhelming. It was a fun way to get to know the LoDo area. I highly recommend this tour.

We have taken a few tours with this company and loved each one, but I must say, this has got to be my favorite!!
