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.

Chris was our tour guide, absolutely loved his energy and what he brings to the table (literally), I would definitely recommend this tour! We loved every places he shown us. I haven't gotten the list of restaurants we went to (which was told we would get the next day), so hopefully that's coming soon! Overall this is one great tour! Definitely was full after, great value! Thank you!

Excellent excursion into the cultural and food scene of Denver. I would highly recommend for anyone considering moving to Denver or getting a pulse on downtown scene. Our host, Chris, did an excellent job interweaving the historical significance of architecture, people and food.

The tour was great! My husband and I loved all of the restaurants and the food was amazing. Chris was a great tour guide who was full of interesting information and was very friendly and welcoming. It is a great way to see the city- we are moving to Colorado in a few months and found some areas of Denver that are off the beaten path that we will definitely come back to. Overall I highly recommend this tour.
