Our tour guide, Jessica, was one of the best guides I have ever had. She gave us so much history on the buildings we stopped at and she made the stories of hauntings so interesting and scary. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, visitor or otherwise to Denver.

My wife and I spent a couple hours on this tour with Jessica who was a great tour guide. We loved her energy and story telling. We originally tried to book with another tour but they were full, so we found this one. We appreciated the small size, and walked past another group that was much larger and less personal, so I'm glad we ended up with this tour instead. The blend of history associated with some beautiful, old mansions with some interesting ghost stories was fun and engaging. Would definitely recommend it.

Wow! thank you so much for sharing your experience. I appreciate your feedback, and the detailed way that you gave. I am glad that you chose Best Tours of Denver. We take pride in keeping our groups smaller, usually no more than 17. I hope the next time that you are in town, you can stop by and take one of our other tours. Thanks again, Bill

My son is intersted in anything paranormal, so we went on this tour for him. It was a good tour. We had Rebecca as our guide. It was very interesting, it covered the history and ghost stories. Rebecca was very knowledgable and was willing to answer all of my son's numerous questions. We were able to see places we had heard about and hear about places we ddn't really know much about. One of the interesting things, Rebecca dressed in costume - long black lace dress, hat, umbrella, etc. It added a bit more to the experience. We only walked along the edge of Cheesman Park, so we were a bit dissappointed by that, and went back another day on our own. The only really bad thing - we knew it did not end back where we started - it says that on the site. However, it said a short walk. It was more than a short walk, we stopped counting at 10 blocks. Luckily, it was not a bad neighborhood, so we weren't really concerned.

Hi, Tonya. I think you might have rated the wrong tour company. We don't have guide named Rebecca, and we don't go anywhere near Cheesman Park. In addition, none of our guides wear costumes. I am not sure if you want to delete your review, and add it to the profile of the tour company that you used. Good luck, Bill Best Tours of Denver LLC.
