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.

I enjoyed this tour with Austin & Jessica a lot! There was a good amount of information given, the perfect amount of walking (could have done more though!), the right amount of food (with other tours, you'll just get a small bite of the food but the sizes of tasting were substantial with Delicious Denver) and Austin is really knowledgable and has great energy. It was such a treat for the owner, Jessica, to join us and give her chef-ey input! They were also incredibly accommodating with my picky/mostly veg diet. Because I stayed in this area, I would have preferred a tour in a different neighborhood, but that was my own doing. Please offer more options in other areas of Denver that are food centric (not just drinking)? Would definitely do this again. Thank you guys!

Lisa made it a point to show us multiple cuisines from downtown Denver. The families favorite was Kachina with its Navajo fry bread carne asada tacos. Our least favorite was the cracker with sheep yogurt from the Mercantile at union station. Not Lisa's fault, but for the price, the Mercantile could have given a much more superior product than they did. Food tour, mercantile, and yogurt cracker dont belong in the same sentence. Lisa was fantastic and knowledgeable of the local food scene.

Other food reviews gave a lot of history on the city. This one had a little. Also, on all other tours, alcohol was included. This one was an up charge in addition to the tour cost.

Hi Robyn! Thanks for this valuable feedback. We're sorry to hear the food tour didn't include as much city history as you were hoping for. The reason we don't include alcoholic drink pairing costs in our base tour price is we host guests of all ages and preferences, including those who are underage and don't drink alcohol, so we like to give people options. This also allows us to keep our base ticket price lower (we're the most affordable food tour in town). Thanks again for your input and for joining us!
