Great LoDo tour with Will! He was extremely informative and funny. He gave great suggestions for restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend this tour!
Tim_W, Jun 2026
I really enjoyed the tour. The guide covered a lot of Denver history in two hours. It was exactly what I was hoping for.
Kim_N, Jun 2026
We learned so much about the history of downtown-I've lived here 30+ years and knew very little. Really peaked my interest to learn more!

Disappointing:
Tour was cancelled at the last minute. Reason given was “possible rain” although several different weather apps showed rain possibility during the tour hours as 0%.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
HI kent, thank you for the review, I am sorry you feeel this way but it was indeed raining that day, and the weather apps I use which have been accurate for the tour showed it was going to rain during the tour time. And it did. I contacted with more than enough time to find anorther tour, it says tour might be cancelled due to weather, and you received a full refund and my apologies. I am not sure hwat else you would like from a small operator. Walkinig around in the rain for 2 hours is pretty miserable.

Must do! The tour guide Will was awesome. He was full of dad jokes which we really appreciated and so knowledgeable about the history as well as tips to eat and drink (and best happy hours) around the town! We only had one day in Denver for sight seeing and this tour was a great way to learn more about city both historically and hidden hot spots. Highly recommend!
Sharon_P, Jun 2026
Goodness, this tour was well paced, informative and the guide, Will, was knowledgeable, spoke clearly, made certain we were all together, watched for holes or damaged pavement, helped us take great pictures by stationing us in right positions and volunteering to take pics of my friend group. I enjoyed learning so much about the history of Denver, its buildings histories and their styles. I would suggest this tour for anyone coming to Denver!
Karen_A, Jun 2026
We had a wonderful time with Will! We were provided ear phones so we could all hear and he didn't have to shout. We loved knowing about the details of brick (who knew?), semi-secret alleys and tunnels, and the bawdy past of Denver. Will was a lot of fun, dad jokes and all! It was indeed a 2-hour walking tour but Will always found shade for us to gather under while he described architectural history of the beautiful old buildings in Lo Do. Well worth the price of admission! Thanks, again, Will!
Lisa_G, Jun 2026
This was a great tour that provided a lot of information about LoDo. Our guide Will was very knowledgeable and personable, and excelled at “dad jokes.” I would recommend this tour to anyone in Denver for the first time that wants to learn a little about the city while taking an enjoyable walk around the lower downtown area.
Suzanne_M, May 2026
Will did a great job of pointing out the highlights. Great history information. Lots of fun facts. Walk was at a good pace, with plenty of opportunities to seat and be in the shade. Highly recommend

Will’s tour was very informative. I LOVED that he gave everyone a receiver so we could all hear him. He’s funny and patient too. He gave us lots of pointers to where to eat, where to go and what to watch.
Genesis_P, May 2026
This was a great tour, I’ve lived in Denver 4 years and didn’t know half of the things I learned!! You see all the important spots, don’t forget your water!
Donna_B, May 2026
Very informative and filled with history of early Denver. Enjoyable walk with a few cute stops. Pastry shop, bathrooms, train station.
Our tour guide Will was terrific.
Alicia_M, May 2026
Great tour of downtown Denver with a lot of history. Tour guide Will was very knowledgeable and answered all questions.
Rebekah_L, May 2026
Tour was interesting, and well paced. Very difficult to understand the tour guide. He tends to blur a lot of his words, and the equipment used is bad quality. But he was a delightful person, and we enjoyed the walk around Denver.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback, but the equipment is one step below what they use at the Vatican. I am the only guide that uses it. I ask in the beginning if you are having issues with the equipment that you let me know. People may not be used to using the equpment before and that might be part of the problem. But I aprecciate that you enjoyed your time with me and the review.
cassandra_N, May 2026
A very informative tour. They Covers a lot in 2 hours. They have these devices that are very helpful for everyone to hear when they are taking. Every tour should offer this.

Eric_C, Oct 2025
I was a first time visitor to Denver. And my wife and I really enjoyed this walking tour. The tour operator did a great job of given us the local history for each area of the downtown, who made the money who lost the money. Some dad jokes. It was very entertaining. But highly recommend.
Karen_D, Oct 2025

Kate_P, Oct 2025
Wish I had taken this tour at the beginning of my trip. Will shared do many nuggets of information from history and spooky story’s to food and drink recommendations… I learned so much about the LoDo area in such a short time. Easy walking with many breaks made it easy for all.
