5.00Alyce our tour guide was great. It was a perfect day to take a city tour as the day was clear and unusually warm in Denver. Taking this tour gave us an overview of the Downtown area and helped us plan other things that we wanted to see in more detail during our trip.
Great if you have a little time

5.00My mom and uncle were visiting from out of state and my uncle actually suggested the tour. I'm so glad he did! Living in the area, somehow it wouldn't have occurred to me, but this tour is awesome for "locals" and for anyone else! I guarantee you will learn something (or many somethings!) that you didn't know before. Our guide, Brian, was absolutely fabulous. I can't even imagine how he keeps so much interesting knowledge about the city and Colorado in his head. We all loved every minute of it and would highly recommend to anyone! One thing that I wish I had thought of is that RTD would have dropped us off right where we needed to meet - would have saved the hassle of figuring out downtown parking. But, I paid ahead and parked in the Union Station parking garage, which was super convenient and perfectly fine. Again, highly recommend, and thank you, Brian!

5.00Great tour (especially on a cold winter day) to provide history and sites of Denver. Àlyce (tour guide) was very good in providing details on locations.
Great tour - both fun and educational!

5.00This was a great tour - very educational and informative and yet also very fun! It was a smaller group so we felt comfortable asking questions and had a great time with our fellow participants. Both tour guides were very knowledgeable about the history of the City of Denver, as well as adding fun anecdotes and little known facts that made the adventure even more fun.

Best city tour I’ve ever taken

5.00This is a must-do tour. Steve, our tour guide, was amazing! He was genuine, knowledgeable and very approachable (funny at times too). I travel often and have taken many tours in various cities and Steve is honestly one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. The mid-way stop on this tour was an unexpected gem!
