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.

This tour was great. I enjoyed every stop we made and all the food was delicious! Jess was a great guide, she knew all the important info, was fun and entertaining, and really provided a stellar tour. We met some of the chefs and got access to some awesome "behind the scenes" foodie experiences. It was a great way to explore Denver with a knowledgeable local. There were bits of Denver history in between food stops as well, which was wonderful. My stomach was full by the end! 10/10 would highly recommend!

This was such a wonderful addition to our itinerary. We were in town for Spring Break and while my hubby took our boys to the Aquarium, I joined Jess’s tour. She was an incredible guide, warm and friendly and lots of fun! I also enjoyed getting to know the other folks in our group. The food was delicious and the historical and cultural highlights were so educational. It was hard to select a favorite tasting as they were all yummy. Loved having Chef Russell at Butcher’s Bistro sit and chat a bit. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does. After the tour, I felt like I’d had a proper introduction to Denver! Even the locals in my group seemed blown away. Can’t say enough good things about the experience. Don’t hesitate to book a tour. You’ll be so glad you did!
