The light show and holiday displays are a can't-miss and the best place to kick off a tour of Denver's renowned holiday lights and sights.

The music, pop-up shops and European history of Christkindl come alive at our second stop on the experience, located in the heart of Denver at Civic Center Park.

16th Street Mall

16th Street Mall's lights, sights, and action truly make the holiday spirit come alive on Denver's infamous 10-block long pedestrian mall.

The Brown Palace is a Denver landmark and institution built by some of our founding fathers, and during the holidays the window displays and inside atrium area will take you back to another time.

Lindsay did a great job of sharing information and showing us places we never would have seen. We enjoyed the walking tour.

My fiancé and I LOVED Ana, our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, polite, hilarious, and cheery. We're very glad we took this tour, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to learn a couple cool facts about Denver, discover some cool spots, and meet new people. The tour was the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit!

We did the holiday lights and sites tour while visiting Denver and it was just ok. We thought there might be some difficulties with seeing the holiday lights due to the extremely high winds we’d had during the day in the area. That definitely interfered, since it caused Christkindl market to be closed down, so we couldn’t walk through there. Obviously the high winds were not the fault of the tour guide, but I’m thinking it may have caused some troubles with what she was able to show us? We ended up walking at an extremely fast pace through downtown Denver, barely stopping at much and she really didn’t have a lot to say about anything. The 2-hour tour only took maybe just over an hour at which point it abruptly finished. I was actually somewhat relieved it was done though because I was tired from walking so fast the whole time and wasn’t really getting much out of the tour anyway. So it may be a much better tour on a different night when there hadn’t been extremely high winds during the day, but for us, I’m afraid it wasn’t worth our time or effort.

Hi Amy, We're so sorry it was windy the night you choose to join in on this experience. As you mentioned, we definitely can't control the weather (We wish we could!), and we're sorry that the weather is the focus of your 2-star review, since it is completely out of our control, which is why we do advise guests to dress in lots of layers for Colorado's ever-changing weather, sometimes all four seasons in one day and we cancel tours when the weather is too cold to be enjoyable. We do wish you many wonderful future travel adventures, Jill
