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.

Historical and fun facts - Very informative. Both historical and fun facts shared. Using headsets made it very comfortable to listen while roaming a bit further to take photos.

More than History - Upon meeting our guide he found a way to connect with each group. He lived there or had been there or knew something abut the visitor's area. Will took us through town telling stories about events, buildings and people. He also added helpful hints about where to eat, who has a good happy hour, safe areas of town, etc. We returned to two of the places he mentioned for margaritas and good bakery. He was upbeat and of course there were dad jokes which was ok too.

Very knowledgeable and fun guide. Highly recommend doing this tour. - This was a really fun tour filled with facts about Denver, the history, dad jokes and creepy true crime. If you only have a few hours in Denver, this is the tour to do.

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.
