Good Cocktails, Fun Guide

Betty_E, Oct 2024
We really liked our tour guide, Jason, he was great. We learned a lot and would go back to two of the locations. The drinks at every stop were very good, but the snacks at two of the locations were sub par (one spot gave us beer nuts cause they don’t serve food). If you think of it as a cocktails only tour with a fun guide you’ll be pleased.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hi Betty! Thank you for taking our tour! We loved having you. While we do pair amazing bites along the way at most locations, the cocktails are the star of the show! As we state in our marketing, this tour is not a substitute for dinner and guests should expect to have small bites. We're sorry that you had a different expectation! We hope you join us again in the future. Cheers.

So much fun!!

Jason_H, Sep 2024

We invited our friends...

We invited our friends from Arizona to come along with us to share some of the charm of the Springs with them. Our favorite was the gin speak easy. We all enjoyed the drinks, appetizers and history. Our tour guide was great and so enthusiastic.

Fun!

Victoria_P, Jun 2023
Jason was a fantastic guide! He knew so much about the history and the stops were amazing -- both food and drinks. The walk was easy and the amount of time was perfect. Can't say enough good things about this adventure!

Okay but could be better

Alexis_D, Jan 2023
Hmmm….I will say if you come from a much larger city this tour might not be for you. When I travel I like to go big or go home. I want to see the best of the best. I think that is where this tour fell short for me. 3/4 places we stopped were kind of blah. Nothing wrong with the drinks (very small at 2/4) or the food (very small). Just kind of plain places. We did go to district elleven and that was amazing. I just think they could do a lot better w the spots. Overall it was a good experience but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hi there! We're sorry that you didn't find the destinations up to your standards. The places featured on your tour are in fact the best-of-the-best (include two amazing speakeasies and two other award-winning locations). We love that our city is not a huge metropolis and that we get to introduce our guests to one-of-a-kind locations owned by passionate entrepreneurs. We are proud of all of our partners and hope that if you try us again you have a better experience. Thanks!

Amazing time

Trudy, Jul 2021
Loved learning about the history of the area especially the prohibition era etc. Our guide, Heather, was great. Not only did she have tons of knowledge to share, she was easy to talk to and made it more fun. Loved the true speakeasy bars.

Thank you, Trudy! Your review is so valuable to us. Cheers!
