Well worth the time. So many hidden sites and knowledge of Denver I would not have otherwise seen or learned about. When visiting a new area, take a few hours and hear some history and see some hidden gems off the beaten path you might not otherwise see . Tour guide was great, small group. Kudos to the city of Denver developing its public parks to its residents. Great city .
