Robyn_N, Jun 2026
Had a little time before a conference, so joined in this tour. It was a low impact with only 2 stops, there were 2 small hills, one at each stop. The seats are narrow, but the interior is tall. Windows were clean, which helps with views and photos. Weird that most of the sites were on the left of the bus tour, so if you want unobstructed photos, sit on that side.
It provided a nice overview to direct me to explore sites later in my trip.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hi Robyn, thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour experience. You are correct that there are two stops where we disembark and explore, which is consistent with typical bus tours in Denver, and we outline this in our tour description. However, it's worth noting that the tour encompasses a total of five stops, featuring six distinct sites. Although we don't disembark at every stop, this format allows our valued guests to capture photographs. As a bus tour operator, we cater to a diverse range of guests, including those with mobility challenges, which is why many opt for a bus tour. This is a primary reason we limit the number of disembarkation points. To provide a comprehensive understanding for our future guests, the tour features 18 sites on the right side of the bus and 15 sites on the left. Heather is an exceptional tour guide, and I will ensure that your complimentary review is forwarded to her. It will undoubtedly make her day. We hope you will have the opportunity to join us again for one of our walking tours in the future. Thank you again for your feedback. Sincerely, Bill

Heather and Bill were informative and fun. The tour covered so many interesting things and kept it fun and funny. The walking wasn’t too much even for my 78 year old dad with a cane. Next time we’re doing the ghost tour!

Hi Amber, thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. It means a lot to me, to know that you had a great time.

My sisters and I took this tour today. I had made the reservations months ago. Last Sunday I broke my foot! I called Viator and asked if I could still participate. They contacted our guide and got right back to me! They told us not to worry, they would take very goods care of us!!
They certainly did that. Heather & Roger (tour guide & driver) were wonderful! Heather helped me on & off, then on a couple of stops that I couldn’t climb the steps to Capital Building for one) Roger kept us entertained! Wonderful time was had by all sisters!
