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.

Sarah had lots of cool information to share about Denver and it’s fascinating history. She took us to 6 different restaurants, all with unique concepts and let us taste some of their signature dishes. We had a great time and definitely left full! This is an awesome way to explore a new city.

We just finished a tour with Sarah and we have ZERO complaints!! It was awesome. A great diversity in delicious food, including pizza, gourmet hotdogs, tacos, pig head, charcuterie, and ending with churros!!! My family also upgraded to have alcoholic drinks with the tour. A total plus! We got 3 full sized drinks. Everything we ate and drank was awesome. At the Butcher’s Bistro we didn’t get just AMAZING food but the owner/chef came out and talked with us answering questions. Sarah was a great tour guide! She’s a self proclaimed foodie who had great knowledge of food while being energetic and a fun person! I enjoyed the little nuggets of Denver history she wove into the tour as well! She was a great representative of Denver!! We would highly recommend this tour if you’re in Denver for just the day or a local!!!

My husband and I, who live in the Denver metro area, and our sister-and brother-in-law from Florida, enjoyed this tour Saturday 12/22/18. A fun time was definitely had by all! We discovered restaurants and foods we hadn’t tried before (pigs head appetizers, anyone?). My husband and I will definitely be revisiting some of these restaurants. And many thanks to Lisa for being an informative and fun tour guide.
