Grear tour

Simone_O, Apr 2024

Will is full of knowledge and humor. . . we had a great time and the whiskey tasting was excellent. The tour length is perfect!

Fun and Educational!

Amanda_M, Jun 2023

Will was very knowledgeable about Denver history and the history of whiskey. What a great way to spend 3 hours.

What a fantastic tour of...

Brian_B, May 2023

What a fantastic tour of Denver and whiskey, in fact it might be one of the best guided tours I've ever been on. Our guide's passion for Denver's history made the tour very engaging, and the whiskey tastings came with a lot of information on the history of whiskey and how each sample was made.

A MUST DO!!!

Michael_S, Dec 2022

Will, was superb. You can tell he has a passion for the history of Denver. He brings to life the people whom discovered Denver. He takes his time to explain and have questions answered. It would not be the same experience with just driving around the city. Will, has made the walking tour a must do if your are visitor or even a local. The whiskey tastings are excellent. We learned the true history of Denver. I enjoyed also the history of whiskey, and how that relates to Denver. Again the tastings were awesome!!!

Fun afternoon

Aaron_W, Nov 2022

Will does a great job of blending the history of Denver and the history of whiskey into a fun 3 hours. Being able to peek behind the curtain of a distillery was really cool as well.

An outstanding tour for the history and the whiskey!

Mike_S, Nov 2022

My wife and I would highly recommend this tour. We live close to downtown Denver, but learned so much more about the City's history and about distilling whiskey! Will was an excellent host and we had the entire tour to ourselves.

I highly recommend this tour

Kamil_B, Sep 2022

I had an excellent tour with friends and strangers who eventually became friends during the experience. The tour guide was awesome and super knowledge about whiskey and Denver history.

It’s too bad this tour is...

dlcberns, Oct 2021

It’s too bad this tour is ending. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot about Denver’s history. Our guide was great.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

:( We are sad too, but the good news is that we have another Whiskey Tour that will be launched soon! Come back and see us again soon!

History, Whisky, and Walking!

Matthew_M, Oct 2021

A great time learning about Denver’s early history of Outlaws and Whiskey Dealers, and playing dice!

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and I'm so happy you had a great time. Thanks again for coming along the tour.

Great tour

Andrew_A, Sep 2021

A great way to see a portion of downtown Denver while learning about its history. We stopped at three bars, providing ample time to rest and quench our thirst before moving on.

Fun Afternoon filled with history & whiskey

Kelly_J, Sep 2021

A fun way to Learn about the beginning history of Denver & whiskey and then also to hear current information about city locations we may enjoy visiting after the tour.

MUST do in Denver!

Jinger_G, Sep 2021

What a fabulous guide and tour! Absolutely the perfect mix if history, whiskey, and fun. Will was seriously one of the best tour guides ever! This is a MUST book for your trip to Denver or just a fabulous way to learn more as a local!

Whiskey Dick was...

CHRISTI_N, Sep 2021

Whiskey Dick was entertaining and knowledgeable! We did a quick trip to Denver to watch the Giants play the Rockies and it was the perfect tour with alcohol stops and close to the stadium.

Fun tour

Kelly_W, Aug 2021

Whiskey Dick did a great job! Lots of history, enjoyed the games and drink recommendations! Would definitely recommend!

Best tour ever!

Jeffrey_M, Aug 2021

This is hands down the best tour we have been on ever. Will (aka Whiskey Dick) makes you feel like an old friend. He is funny, filled with facts, and keeps the action going. Absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about old West Denver and get pointers on great local restaurants and bars.

Awesome time

Ilya_S, Aug 2021

I was in Denver for a business trip but flew in one day early just to check out the city. Not particularly fun to go exploring by yourself and since Denver is too small to have a hop-on-hop-off bus I thought a small group walking tour would be fun. Other than having been here as a couple I could not have had a better time. The tour guide was awesome and had a tremendous amount of knowledge both on the history of the city and different places to get libations having been a bartender and restaurant owner in Denver for many years. If you want to have some fun while learning about Denver history I highly recommend this tour.

History and drinks

Deborah_M, Aug 2021

The tour was entertaining. Tour guide was knowledgeable and kept things fun. I would suggest adding the drink package. It was a bummer that one of the scheduled stops was unavailable, but tour was prepared with a backup. Interesting way to learn the history of Denver.

Whiskey, kittens and milk

Mischa_K, Aug 2021

We had a great time learning (and drinking) our way across Denver’s LoDo area. Without Will we wouldn’t have gone to several of the stops or seen different pieces of outdoor art. Everything was so nicely thought through, from the stories, games, and great drinks. Definitely take this tour!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Im so happy your enjoyed the tour and were able to experience places you would t have gone on your own. It was so fun guiding you around the city. I hope you come back and visit soon. Cheers, Will

Great Tour!

Chris_C, Jul 2021

This was a really fun and informative tour! Lots of interesting stories about Denver's history, with some great stops for drinks. And you do not need to be a whiskey drinker to enjoy this tour, as you can order whatever you please. Our tour guide, Will, was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgable about both whiskey and Denver history, which made the tour quite entertaining. He also made great recommendations for places to eat, drink and visit while in Denver. I would definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2021

History is meant to be fun and I’m so happy you enjoyed learning all about whiskey, history and the outlaws of Denver. Thanks for sharing your experience with others. Cheers, Will

Enjoyable Tour and Tasting

Jeanne_J, Jun 2021

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had some great incites on the city, history and con-men of the past. Whiskey stops were fun with good service and beverage options. Try the Gentleman’s Buck at the last stop= yummy and on Happy Hour menu!

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Thankyou Jeanne! I'm happy you all had fun and learned about Denver's past. We love the Happy Hour cocktails at Seven Grand, always a crowd pleaser! -Will
