Conrad took our group of 12 on a whole day private tour which we thoroughly enjoyed! He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very attentive. In addition to a fantastic tour he also gave us great tips about places to go/things to do during the rest of our time in Denver. Weeks later we are still talking about how much fun we had with Conrad!
