Excellent walking tour - We had a great time. Will was super informative, relaxed and funny. We would have never found these places or learned what we did, by just walking around by ourselves.

Great way to spend a couple hours working up an appetite. - Our family enjoyed the tour and learning about Denver's history. Great story telling with some dad jokes here and there. We were able to visit the Downtown Area again later with more confidence about where we wanted to spend more time.

Denver's Diverse History - I was born and raised in Denver but moved away a while ago. This tour gave me the diverse Denver history I never learned before, which included not only information about the Native tribes and gold miners, but also about the Chinese and former slaves. Our guide, Will, was friendly and knowledgeable. He also gave us the "Soapy Smith" experience, and you'll have to take the tour to find out what it is.

Late cancellation of our tour - Our tour was canceled the morning of our scheduled tour due to the lack of participation throwing our day off and leaving us scrambling to find something else to do. Very disappointing.
