We had a wonderful experience with Matt as our guide! He picked us up at our hotel and communicated when he needed to be a little late due to traffic. The hike was great for us and not at all too strenuous. Got some beautiful photos to remember our trip.

Easy paced hike with a great view at the pinnacle.

Lauren is a great tour leader, who is willing to adjust the pace of the hike to accommodate those of us from out pf town who may not be acclimated to the high altitudes in the rockies. All in all, it was a great hike with spectacular views at the peak.

Kelsey and the tour Rocked!

Kelley Tucker absolutely ROCKED dispite the heavy rain. She was incredibly knowledgeable and gave me some great ideas for my next day. She told me the umbrella that she lent me which considering the day was a God send. The stops and food were fantastic although the chili portion at the brewery was too large. I highly recommend this.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Do Denver Experience

My partner and I had an absolutely incredible time on this tour. We were visiting family in Fort Collins and decided to spend a night in Denver — and this ended up being one of the best decisions of the trip. We lucked out with what felt like a private experience — just the two of us with our guide, “Denver Dan.” He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about the city. Beyond walking us through each stop, he took the time to give us personalized restaurant recommendations tailored to our tastes, complete with fun facts and local history about each spot. Even for the places we didn’t get to visit, he made us feel like we already knew them. The food itself was fantastic — each stop felt intentional and well-curated, showcasing what makes the RiNo neighborhood so special. But honestly, what elevated this from a good food tour to a great experience was Dan himself. His energy, depth of knowledge, and genuine love for Denver were contagious. Whether you’re a first-time visitor trying to get a real feel for the city or a local looking at your own neighborhood through fresh eyes, I can’t recommend this tour enough. We’ll absolutely be back.

Best way to explore Denver!

I really enjoyed this bike tour! My tour guide Mitch was very knowledgeable and made the bike ride fun, informative and entertaining. The bike ride itself was amazing as not only did I get to see some of the best highlights Denver has to offer but at multiple times throughout the tour we saw the most picturesque mountain views. Because of the elevation and direct sunlight the temperature can feel 5-10 degrees warmer so I recommend dressing in layers.
