What To Expect

Coors Field

Built in 1995 in the heart of downtown Denver, Coors Field is home to our beloved Rockies and a must-see stop when visiting the Mile High City.

Dairy Block

This historic block, located in downtown Denver’s LoDo neighborhood, was once home to Windsor Dairy and is now a vibrant micro-district that boasts 15 shops, 19 restaurants, seven bars, a luxury coworking space, and a 172-room boutique hotel.

Denver Union Station

Denver Union Station is the cultural hub and the “crown jewel” of the city. The addition of world-class dining, shopping, and the award-winning Crawford Hotel has revitalized and transformed Denver Union Station far beyond its humble beginnings.

Cherry Cricket

This award-winning local spot has been serving delicious burgers, Colorado green chili and local beers since 1945.

Mcgregor Square

In the heart of Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo), adjacent to Coors Field, McGregor Square spans an entire downtown block. This new development includes The Rally Hotel, residences, restaurants, retail outlets, and expansive food-hall, all circling a 17,000 square foot plaza complete with a stadium-sized LED screen.

El Chapultepec

Denver's oldest jazz club closed during the COVID-19 pandemic but still sits in a historic building near Coors Field.

LoDo

Short for Lower Downtown, LoDo is the heart and center of the Mile High City and contains some of Denver's best local restaurants and bars.

The Wynkoop

Wynkoop is Colorado’s First Brewpub. For almost three decades they have been brewing handcrafted beer in a modest basement brewery underneath Denver’s largest pool hall. Over the years the neighborhood has transformed, and Colorado’s craft beer industry has exploded.

Barry was an excellent tour guide. He is a well of tips and advice for enjoying Denver. The people on the tour were friendly. I think that is what makes this tour good is the people on it. I got 10K steps in walking around the neighborhood and listening to the culture and facts about it. I liked that too. We stopped for photos and it was nice! Now for the food part - all good food. Except, I don't feel I got $75 worth of food. We ate 1 piece at each place. I was hungry before, and hungry after :) Maybe the food was that good that I just wanted more. Who knows. But I thought it was going to be a few tastings at the diff places - maybe trying different items. So please come with a full stomach and see this as a appetizer for dinner. I would go on this again if they change the food portions or what is available. I would go to less restaurants for more food. Cheers!

Thanks so much for joining us and for this feedback! Our ticket price of course both includes the food as well as a three-hour guided city tour with an experienced local guide. We find that most of our guests are satisfied by the five tastings included in the Downtown Food Tour - a slice of wood-fired Neopolitan pizza with fresh mozzarella, a ground beef empanada with house-made chimichurri, Colorado pork green chili with a side of tortilla, a Colorado-raised wagyu beef taco served on Native American fry bread and a Portuguese custard tart with powdered sugar. We understand that everyones' appetites may differ slightly though. We appreciate you joining us and hope the rest of your visit to Denver was wonderful!
