What To Expect

Colorado State Capitol

Our tour begins at the Colorado State Capitol, a beautifully historic building constructed in the late 19th century. Here, you'll meet your guide and hear the beginnings of Denver's rich history.

LoDo

Lower Downtown (known as LoDo to locals) showcases the more modern side of Denver. You'll walk along the 16th Street Mall, home to many sources of entertainment from restaurants to local music. It's the heart of modern Denver!

Larimer Square

This bustling area of LoDo is one of locals' favorite spots for shopping, dining, and entertainment. We'll likely walk down this tree-lined street along the tour.

Denver Union Station

Refinished and refurbished to its former glory, Union Station continues to operate as Denver's main train station - a far cry from it's early days bringing settlers to the West. Today, Union Station boasts restaurants, shopping, and lots of people-watching. When your tour ends, you'll be in the perfect, central spot to continue exploring downtown Denver!
