MUST DO Food Tour! - This walking tour in the LoHi Denver area was a super fun adventure for my family. We tried a variety of small bites, which were all recommended by our tour guide. Kristina was knowledgeable and engaging. She shared interesting historical facts and tidbits. The food was tasty, the walking in between bites, and the storytelling was paced just right for me, my wife, and our 9 year old son. He loved the architecture in the neighborhood, the history of the area, and the opportunity to try foods he admits he wouldn’t have ordered on his own. All in all, we highly recommend this tour! You won’t regret it!

Taking this tour opened my eyes to the rich cultural history of the LOHI area that I did not know existed. - Our tour guide Bruce used a creative and informative use of food to explain the cultural history of the LOHI district of Denver. I was impressed by Bruce's knowledge of the area and his ability to include all members of the group in a lively discussion during the entire walk. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys good food and historical conversation.

Excellent - We Venture with Bruce. Our trip through the HiLo neighborhood began with an enjoyable morning stroll to Wooden Spoon bakery. Bruce pointed out various homes and other businesses as we walked. He was a wealth of information. We then went to a local butcher shoppe. The owners were full of facts about their products. Our next stop was at Tamales Casita. Bruce gave us history of the Spanish influence on the neighborhood. Our last stop was an Itialan restaurant named Tony P’s. So much history about this neighborhood was shared and found it to be very interesting and informative. All parties on our group were in gaged. Bruce did a great job and my husband and I are going to tell all our family and friends about our experience. The food we sampled was most excellent. I am going to check into other city tours you have available.

Great food, fun concept! - What a wonderful walking food tour! Our guide Michelle was very knowledgeable and fun! Parking was super easy, then we started by tasting amazing foods at Tony P’s, then off to Wooden Spoon bakery to pick up yummy cookies for later, then to La Casita for delicious red and green tamales, finishing off with sensational fried chicken, slaw, green chili Mac and biscuits at The Post Chicken and Beer! Highly recommend this tour and will be doing another one for sure!

Cancellation of Tour the day of - Booked a tour the night before Thursday for a Friday 1030 am tour. The next morning at 8am I got an email cancellation of the tour. So the email said some excuse of Trip Advisor should have taken the tour down. But all the following week is available. Don't know what to say. Booked a bike tour instead.
