Best tour guide in town! - This was an awesome tour. I would book it again in a heart beat! We wanted to get a little flavor of the city and that’s just what we got. Will was knowledgeable and entertaining during the 2 hour tour. He made sure to stop and give us some history where we had shade as it was very hot that day. The best part was he had a microphone and we were all given headsets to wear so we didn’t miss a thing. Being able to hear him is the key to a good tour so we really appreciated that part! It was a fun and entertaining afternoon.

Don’t miss an awesome walking tour of Lodo when in Denver - This was a great walking tour in Lodo. Learned a lot of history and saw places we may not have noticed if we walked it ourselves. Our group even included locals who were not aware of some of the places we visited.

Great tour - Took the tour with a couple of friends while visiting Denver. The guide was very knowledgeable and considerate, even keeping the group in the shadow and providing a couple of small gifts. Great value for the price and time!

Highly recommended this tour - We are new to the Denver area and took this tour to learn more about its history, and I’m glad we did! Great “insider” information with opportunities to explore some local businesses. This is not just a history tour as our guide also gave us great information about restaurants and breweries in the LoDo area which was much appreciated. We visited a couple places since taking the tour and so far he was spot on.

Excellent host/guide in Will. He kept up a constant pattern of historical facts and dad jokes. It was a great tour - Will was our guide for history sprinkled with an appropriate amount of dad jokes. The headsets we had were great along the streets full of cars

Great Tour - This was a great tour. Will was our guide and we learned a lot about the city on this tour. He was GREAT and very knowledgeable. We learned lots of history and some true crime. Will also pointed out places to go and areas to stay away from at night. There were some great photo ops as well. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone who might only have a few days in Denver or who wants to know more about the history of it all.

Very Good, But Could be Even Better - The tour was informative, and the tour guide was personable. It was a lot of information packed into a 2-hour time frame. As a result, the tour guide would talk so fast that he was hard to understand at times. A recommendation might be for him to focus on, get deeper on the bigger history spots and eliminate some of the smaller, less important stories. We would recommend this tour to others.
