5.00I lived in Denver as a child and remembered some landmarks-Bruce brought the city to life with its eclectic history and his deep personal roots to the city/state. My husband wasn’t excited about going on this tour but ended up loving it. Bruce was a very informative tour guide and had answers to our questions and curiosities. He was the perfect guide to a perfect tour.
Excellent Historical Tour!

5.00Bruce was a great guide and my family and I all learned a lot and had a great time. I have lived in denver for over a decade but I really hadn’t ever gotten a cohesive sense of its history or the layout of downtown so this put a lot of pieces together for me. And it took the pressure off of me to entertain and inform my family about what’s special and interesting in Denver. Highly recommend!
A must do when visiting Denver
