1.5 Hour LoDo Walking Tour in Denver

Overview
THIS TOUR REQUIRES 4 GUESTS TO START

What's LoDo? I’m happy you asked! Lower Downtown is Denver’s oldest neighborhood which is home to some of the best restaurants and attractions in Denver. On this 2 hour walking tour your savvy local guide will share fascinating history and point out local hot spots, where to eat and drink. We walk about 1.5 miles where we bring to life the past, present, and future of our beloved city. This tour is perfect for those who have limited time and a busy schedule. At the end of the tour you will feel more like a local and less like a tourist!

We begin the tour at iconic Union Station and its significance to the survival of Denver as a city. Over the next 2 hours we walk a loop around LoDo where we share stories of Denver’s first Chinatown, visit the most famous bordello of its time, visit the oldest operating hotel in Denver, and learn about the underground tunnel system that runs beneath the city.

Hi, you booked during the coldest snowiest months of the year. Most tour companies are closed and it's because of reviews like this. We let you know a full day in advance that there may not be enough people for the tour, and if that happened you'd receive a full refund. We did so and we apologized for the inconvenience. You even said so. Saturday was the same way but you weren't listed on it. Thus no need for a refund or to let you know the tour was running or not, and the tour didn't run. False negative reviews from angry for no reason travelers like you hurt small businesses like mine. I am not Viator or TripAdvisor. I am a supplier. I wish you would see it in your heart to change your review because we did everything we could to let you know that the tour may or may not run. From letting you know the minimum number of people needed, which your tour group didn't have enough, to letting you know my call, text or message that the tour may or may not run. You even asked for different things to do. I helped you find them. Thanks for the negative review and I hope you have the day you deserve.

We had a great time. Will was super informative, relaxed and funny. We would have never found these places or learned what we did, by just walking around by ourselves.
