I had a great experience on this small group Denver bus tour. It was a fantastic way to see a lot of the city and get a feel for different areas and attractions. There were even a couple of places we passed that I now know I want to go back and explore more in depth.
Mark, our tour guide, was both very informative and entertaining throughout the tour. He shared a lot of interesting history, local insight, and fun facts while keeping the experience engaging and enjoyable. Overall, it was well organized, well worth the money, and a great introduction to Denver. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Its packed with lots of interesting facts about the history of Denver's settlement. What roles the different people played in the development. Being the spouse of a railroads who retired from Union Pacific, there role in the development was interesting. Rob abd Sue just didn't focus on the old but also the new, pointing out the new buildings and thongs that makes Demverthe city it is.
