Denver Downtown walking tour enjoyable experience

In May 19 we had a wonderful time on a private Denver Downtown Highlights Walking Tour booked through GetYourGuide. Our guide Jared shared a concise and well-structured history of downtown in short time. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment with him, who impressed us with his extensive knowledge of the city’s history, arts, and architecture. The tour was the perfect length, the weather was lovely, and the walking was easy. We’ll definitely look for Jared again on our next visit to Denver.
