Great tour, great guide, lots to see - The tour was great! unfortunately there were some main attractions we weren’t able to see due to events and construction however Hayley planned alternative route with lots of great sights and fun facts. Hayley shared a lot of history and pointed out and explained all the amazing architecture along the way. I learned a lot and would highly recommend it!

Packed to the brim, a must do! - Kristina is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, friendly and a fountain of insights and stories! She knows the city and it's history so well. It was an absolutely fantastic tour that I can highly recommend for anyone who wants to know more about Denver and it's architecture, hidden corners (bank vaults, no less!) and other fun facts (Mrs Crawford, the trade involving a barrel of whisky, a triangular historic hotel). A must do!

Thanks Kristina (with a K!) ! - This was a great tour with an incredible tour guide! Kristina was fantastic and honestly made the tour. She was excellent at incorporating facts with stories and making it both informative, interesting, and memorable. As a local, and a historian, I was excited to learn some facts that I've never heard before. Don't let the "highlights" fool you - this tour was full of extensive, yet pertinent, information. Thank you again!
