BEST $35.00 I’ve ever spent!!

Kristina showed up to personally guide me around downtown Denver. That’s right, it was just her & me. That’s some great service!! We had an absolute beautiful Denver day & we strolled through about 2 miles of the city. Kristina is very personable, professional, knowledgeable, AND a native - so she knows her stuff. I learned so much about the history of CO and Denver and just had an awesome afternoon learning, chatting & seeing the lovely sites of downtown Denver. As I said, this literally was just me & Kristina, so a HUGE thanks for honoring my tour day& time even if it was just me! Folks, please sign up for this tour if you want to see the sites of downtown Denver & learn really cool stuff at the same time! Hopefully you will get lucky & get Kristina as your guide, she’s awesome!! Thanks so much!

Even helped if we needed to find a dispensary.

OK pay attention, if you arrive early enough like I did at 10 AM got to my hotel by 11 I was on this tour by 2 PM. It’s a two hour tour for 35 bucks this is the best tour in the city. In two hours we got pointers on where we should eat drink Where to have fun what museums to see if you’re interested if not it was very interesting. Learning historical Facts about the city that you would not know. You walk approximately A mile or so but everything flat nothing hard to do could’ve been done if somebody needed to ride a scooter or motorized wheelchair no problem. Our guide was super Duper the very best loved her so much we treated her to a beer at the end and we all had a good laugh social distancing yes handled very professionally never was a problem ever. We used her sanitizer she can’t clean our hands anytime we enter the building and we didn’t stay in one place for very long at allTold us about things that are right around the corner from our hotel that we never would’ve known without taking this tour please please please take this tour on your first day at your second day it will help you even if it’s on your last day you’ll be surprised it’s a great tour My wife and I are in our upper 60s is not a problem walking . Our guide met us exactly on time in fact we were a minute late and she called me there she was standing on top of the capitol steps for all to see and did you know that it says mile high or what was the 1 mile mark on the steps. And we were informed that young engineers from schools nearby performed a test and found that it was incorrect and marked the new spot. We had so much fun please take this tour don’t be a cheapskate 35 we met exactly where we were supposed to be take this tour take it!!! It’s not just about history you will not fall asleep. She will even help you find dispensaries if that’s what you’re into good luck I hope you pay attention. Just a note I don’t see why this tour couldn’t be done in the winter just dress warm the tour still goes on history never stops

Kristina was a great tour guide! My husband and I booked the day before and ended up with the tour all to ourselves! Kristina was able to point out a lot of buildings and fixtures around town that we never would have noticed without a guide. Highly recommend if you want a good balance of Denver past and present. Kristina is very passionate about her native city!
