Bruce!!! He is an excellent tour guide with a lot of insight and background knowledge! If it wouldn’t be for him and the tour, we wouldn’t like Denver at all. But he brought Denver to life for us! I highly recommend this tour!

Sunday afternoon walking tour with Kristina
NANCY_D, Oct 2023
Kristina was my walking tour guide and she did an amazing job showing me the highlights of downtown Denver. As a Denver native and history/architecture lover, she shared more knowledge of the area in 2 hours than I could have gathered otherwise! She made the history of the area very real! The best part of the tour was hearing all the interesting bits of history!
Great tour, great guide
