Fabulous Tour

Fun, educational, and relaxing. Guide made us feel welcome and was interested in all questions and observations. We loved the "heads-up" text message before the event with details that could have been either overlooked or taken for granted. Certainly one of the absolute best tours and guides we have ever had anywhere. Can't wait to go back for the Ghost Tour !!

Operator response

It’s good to know that you two had as good of time, as I did doing it for you. What a great group we had that day. Please come back and join us again soon. Thanks again, Bill

Good feel for downtown Denver

Overall very informative and interesting. Did last the full 90 minutes. Nice size group. We didn't get by the baseball stadium and our audio visual did not work.

Operator response

Hi Dave, thank you writing a review for us. Sorry if the monitor wasn’t working correctly. I don’t know of any issues with it. It’s brand new, but I will check into it. I’m not sure when you made your reservation. I couldn’t find a Dave H., on our tour roster, for any of our tours. Perhaps the reservation was under your spouses name. We recently created a slight change to our route, and we no longer go to the ballpark. Game days cause a huge backup, and it seriously slows down the pace of the tour, making it way too long. Sorry that you were disappointed. Thanks again, Bill

Great Overview of Denver

Heather (our guide) and Bill (our driver) gave us a wonderful overview of the city of Denver. I love the small group format, which gave the tour a more personal feel. It was our first time in the Denver area, and we were only here for a short amount of time, so this ~1.5-2 hour survey of Denver was perfect! Heather’s energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge made the tour fun and engaging. Heather and Bill shared tons of facts and history about the various parts of the city, as well as spilled the tea on some of the scandals and drama! Really enjoyed this tour. Would highly recommend!!!

Operator response

Hi Donna, thank you for writing this awesome review. I’m so glad to know that you enjoyed your tour experience. We had fun group that day. Heather is a fantastic guide. I forwarded your complimentary review to her. It made her day. I hope that you get a chance to come back and see us again soon. Thanks again, Bill
