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.

Austin was a phenomenal, engaging, knowledgable tour guide. We stopped at 5 locally owned and operated places unique to Denver. Neopolitan pizza, empanadas, lightly fried tacos, green chili, and a flaky egg tart for dessert at Union Station highlighted our tour. I don't think a single person was unimpressed. About half the group paid extra for alcohol pairs at some of the earlier stops. Worth every dollar, it was fun not only tasting the food, but also learning the history of the various neighborhoods we walked through. Thanks Austin!

Danny was a fun and funny tour guide and all of the food was delicious! Danny did an excellent job engaging everyone in the group, remembering their interests and even learning everyone’s names! There was really very minimal walking as all of the restaurants were near each other. The food was all really good and Danny gave lots of recommendations for other places to try so good idea to the tour early in your visit to Denver! My only suggestion would be if the food was ready for us closer to when we arrived at each stop. Some of the wait times felt kinda long. Great tour!
