I took a half day tour with Kristen from Colorado Sightseer Tours on Superbowl Sunday 2/13. They offer two departure times and I chose the 8:15a slot so I could have the rest of the day for other activities. First, Kristen met the tour group at the flagpole directly in front of Union Station. She was on time, friendly and energetic from the start. There were 7 of us taking the tour that day and Kristen started by having us introduce ourselves and then the tour was underway. As soon as we left downtown Denver and I could see the landscape changing, I knew I had picked the right tour. Kristen was extremely knowledgable and engaging the entire time as she took us through the town of Morrison, Red Rock Amphitheater, Echo Lake and Evergreen. She offered to take pics so if you are a solo traveler like myself, dont worry about getting your content! The ride was super comfy and there was plenty of room for everyone without feeling crowded. This was my first visit to Denver and I absolutely recommend this small, family business if you want an informed and engaging intro to the city. Worth every penny (I paid $79) through tripadvisor.
