We enjoyed learning about Denver and seeing so much of the city. We definitely would not have seen as much on our own. Steve, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and extremely approachable. Just wish the tour had more opportunities to stop for photos.
Alyce did a great job very informative and nice tour ! Went to several landmarks and had just enough stops
Alyce was a knowledgeable guide and answered all of the questions. The ride was comfortable and the group size perfect. Service with a smile!
Mark was our guide. He was fantastic, very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We both throughly enjoyed the tour.
Very comfortable van, very entertaining tour guide, Bryan, just a nice relaxing drive around Denver!
We had a fabulous time on our tour of Denver. Mark our guide was so funny and informative......He knew all the history and some special information that only comes with years of experience and from a true Denver lover. There were only 4 of us so we got full attention from Mark..He was great.
Brian, our guide, was great and we saw many of Denver's best sites. Wish we could have gotten out at some of the places a few more times, but overall great tour.
We had a great time. Mark was so well informed and pointed out all the important aspects of Denver and took us everywhere and he’s very funny. I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody.

Hi Tonya, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Mark and found it to be entertaining and informative. Thank you for providing recommendations to future travelers to join us on a wonderful tour experience to check out the beautiful scenery of Denver, Colorado.
This tour was not at all what we were looking for. We did go by most of the areas listed, but we only got out once, at the golf course. The guide was somewhat interesting, but most of his stories made the founders and most of the city sound corrupt. Just not what we were looking for. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get any pictures from the bus without shadows from the glare on the windows.
We're sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. Our Discover Denver Bus Tour is intentionally designed to give guests the opportunity to see all the city's sights and landmarks in a short period of time, providing accessible tours for individuals who cannot or prefer not to join walking tours. We aim to be transparent about the tour design and 1-2 optional photo stops by including this info in the tour listing and description so guests can decide if this experience is a good fit before booking. For guests looking for more stops and time off the bus, we recommend our Ultimate Denver Day Out 3.5-hour tour. Denver does have a unique history, and our team strives to share all sides of the city's origin from the rugged Wild West origins, which included significant corruption in its early years, to the historical tourist hub it is today. We sincerely hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable and you were able to see the light in the Mile High City.
