Denver's History Adventure + Ghosts

Overview

NOTE: What makes this tour unique is that, in most cases, we take our guests into several locations. We limit the number of guests on each tour to 20; because of this, this tours tends to sell out quickly. This is where it all began, in 1856. This walking tour is a fun adventure through the oldest and most trendy neighborhood in Denver. You will be treated haunted stories, scandalous events, and historic locations. Some of the stops include: The Dairy Block, Larimer Square, Union Station, Coors Field, Brothel Row, Rockmount Ranch Wear, The Oxford Hotel (the oldest hotel in Denver), LoDo, D & F Clock Tower, and the 16th Street Mall, plus much more. We will stop at the Dairy Block.

We have taken a few tours with this company and loved each one, but I must say, this has got to be my favorite!! Bill, as always, is full of energy and so much great information that is engaging and spooky! Some great spots you'll hit include the great Union Station as well as the Dairy Block. I've lived in Denver almost my entire life and learned some really cool new things!! You must take this tour, especially during social distancing times to break up the day and get you some fresh air!
