What To Expect

Colorado State Capitol

This building, with it 24 karat gold top, is the crown jewel of Denver. Stand and the 1 mile above sea level marker, and soak in a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. So much history.

Civic Center Park

This beautiful park is the focal point of Mayor Robert Speer's "City Beautiful" campaign. Completed in 1908, It is the center of state and city government.

Denver Art Museum

With over 70,000 works of art, the Denver Art museum, is the largest art museum, between Chicago and the west coast. See the "Big Sweep", otherwise known as the "Giant Dustpan and Broom".

CELL - The Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab

This is an odd museum, at best. Although we don't go in, you will see one of the remaining pieces of the World Trade Center.

City and County Building

This curved building is known in Denver to be one of the most beautiful civic buildings in the city. During the holidays, this beautiful structure, becomes the center place for viewing lights.

United States Mint At Denver

The United States Mint, in Denver is one of 4 locations in the country. This location is the largest producer of coins in the world. We do not go into the Denver Mint.

Center for Colorado Women's History

The most historically significant home in Denver. We do not go into this house.

Denver Firefighters Museum

Fire Station No. 1 is a favorite stop on this tour. We will take a moment to go inside, and grab a souvenir. Although you will see some antique fire trucks, we will not tour the entire museum. We do not go through the museum.

Denver Pavilions

This where all the action is. Shops, restaurants, bars, bowling alley, video games, and a movie theater, just to name a few.

16th Street Mall

Closed to street traffic, this is the number one tourist attraction in Denver. With 1.7 miles of restaurants, bars, and shops, this is the perfect place to stay and enjoy the sites.

Jared was amazing, very knowledgeable and funny. He kept the group intrigued and on our toes for what was next. He gave great recommendations of places to get a bite, a drink, or a romantic view of the sunset. I'd recommend this tour with Jared for all to enjoy, great company for an exceptional tour of the city.

I'm almost embarrassed to say, I've lived in Denver for 40 years but never taken a tour of our most iconic landmarks, until today. So glad I decided to try something new! Jared was a terrific guide, very entertaining and knowledgeable! I'll be taking more tours from now on!

I’m glad you gave Best Tours of Denver a try, especially after living here so long. It’s funny, because most locals walk by Denver’s historic buildings, without understanding what they are. It brings so much more dimension to your daily routine, when you know the history that brought us where we are today. Thanks again, Bill

We got to tour around CapHill and into LoDo with Jared and Bill today and it was amazing! We started at the Alma Temple which until today I didn't even know existed! They took us to the Capitol and then a really great journey stopping to see the history that is all around us! Bill and Jared both have an incredible knowledge of Denver's history and they combine it with a really friendly and welcoming dialogue that strikes interest in everybody. On the non-tour "should I do this questions"...I totally recommend it for everyone! The walk is pleasant (less thnt 2 miles), the time is great (you can fit it in easily under 3 hours), and if you've got kids there is so much around for them to learn as well! In short; check out Denver, Bill and Jared are the guys to show you!
