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.

We just moved to Denver and because I love food so much, my fiancé got me this tour as a birthday gift. We've been on many tours in many different places (domestic and international), and Austin was by far the best tour guide we've ever had! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about Denver and its history, but he was obviously very passionate about what he does and you really felt that throughout the tour. Not to mention - he's very funny and a snappy dresser. We went to six different places and the food at each was great, though I recommend not stuffing your face at the first few places because then you'll be too full to really enjoy the rest (oops). My favorite place was Butcher's Bistro because not only was the food delicious, they really explain how much thought and effort goes into everything and how they use the whole animal as a means of respecting it. Overall, I'd highly recommend the tour - I can't wait to go back and get more from each place!

My sister and cousin were visiting Denver and I wanted to show them Denver while also getting some historical context. All of our food stops were great. We loved learning about the history (not just at the stops, but around town as well) and Chris was great and answered all of questions. I would highly recommend!

My wife and I were visiting Denver and wanted to find a fun culinary activity and this perfectly fit the bill. When my wife saw fry bread on the menu we knew this was the tour for us. Sarah our tour guide did an AMAZING job of getting everyone engaged, involved and comfortable with each other. She was also able to recommend a great place for us to go for dinner to satisfy a lingering craving we had been having. Every stop on the tour had delicious food, great cocktails and very interesting information about the location, food, drink and some entertaining stories as well. The first few stops were very close together and then there was a very enjoyable 10-15 minute walk to the next few stops. We were also able to see some very interesting areas of SODO that we would have missed otherwise along with the history behind these places. This was the perfect combination of food, sunshine and history as we only had one time slot available during our trip to find an activity like this and it hit all the categories. I would absolutely recommend the tour and again, Sarah did an amazing job! I can't recommend this enough.
