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.

It isn't hard to find good food in the Denver area but this tour gives you some insight into some hidden gems. The tour highlights new up and coming restaurants and the older established ones. The guide was great and the food was excellent!

I live in Denver and had a group of coworkers coming to town from CA for an offsite meeting. We wanted to have a fun, team building activity and being foodies, a food tour was high on the list. This tour was fabulous! I had never been to any of the restaurants we visited and they were all delicious. My team truly enjoyed the tour and the vegetarians were thrilled to be accommodated so well. Jess and Sarah are not only food experts, but history buffs as well. They told us about Denver history, architectural history and trivia, history of the restaurants and dishes, origin of the food. Some of the restaurant owners and managers came to our table to meet us and answer questions, making us feel very welcome. We had authentic Italian pizza, fry bread tacos, churros with dark chocolate sauce, gourmet cheese, pork cheek, donut fried cheese, famous "biker Jim's" gourmet dogs, and a wonderful tour of LoDo. Take this tour - you don't regret it!

Lisa was wonderful and knew her stuff. She obviously knew and was well-liked by the establishments we visited. The food was wonderful. We had a group of 8 and visited 6 different locations. We received some interesting information about the downtown and LoDo area. It was a fun way to spend the afternoon. I would do it again.
