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.

So much fun!! Not a ton of walking....just a lot of great food and history. We had Hans as our guide, and he was the bomb! I personally loved the great vegetarian options at each stop. I never felt like I was missing out. We met some fun people and heard a lot of neat stories about both Denver and the foods' histories. I would (and have!) Recommend these tours to everyone, both locals and visitors. I wish we had more time. We definitely would have done another tour.

Thank you so much for the incredible review and for incorporating "the bomb" while describing Hans! (we totally agree). We're thrilled that the veggie options didn't give you FoMo and the stories painted a fun picture of Denver. We hope to host you for another tour!

My wife and I have done food tours on almost every trip we’ve been on. We feel it’s a great way to learn the the city’s history, culture and food scene. I wasn’t sure what to expect in Denver. Then we met Barry. He was so friendly and outgoing right off the bat. It didn’t take long to learn that Barry loves his job! He shared information about all the food, the restaurants and the sites in between. First stop - Great crust and fresh toppings. The limoncello was so good. Second stop - amazing empanadas and some wine. Mmmmmm!!!! Third stop - Green chili!!!! Meaty, spicy and delicious.The Blue Moon was really good too (Not included though). 4th stop - a to die for margarita and a unique taco. Last stop - ice cream!!! Thank you Barry for your infectious enthusiasm and for teaching me about Denver and it’s incredible food scene.
