4 stops to try Irish,... - 4 stops to try Irish, Scotch, American and local whiskey. Walk between stops good for circulation and kept interesting with stories of Denver’s past.

Got 3 hours in LoDo to spare? Whiskey, history & Denver done right - This downtown Denver whiskey and history walking tour was truly fantastic. We were among the few locals in our group. While others came from the West Coast and the Midwest with different appreciations for whiskey and rye, everyone had an equally wonderful experience (just make sure to drink the water when offered; we are in the high desert, after all). Will, our tour guide, was absolutely outstanding - knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to listen to. He smoothly blended Denver history, Prohibition-era and brothel stories, and whiskey tastings, keeping the pace relaxed and his storytelling lively. He surprised us with a private distillery tour, the type where you're not quite sure if you're supposed to be there! It was definitely the highlight. The whiskey selections were excellent (some common, if only to illustrate the difference with the more unique varieties), the stops thoughtfully chosen (plan on photos in Milk Alley, it's beautiful), and we gained a new perspective on the origins of Denver - things we hadn't known even as locals and products of Colorado schools! If you’re interested in a Denver whiskey tour or want a fun, unique way to explore LoDo and a bit of RiNo, I highly recommend it. Remember to plan on having a bite to eat before, and a snack after, he's not skimping on those tastings! Thanks, Will!

Must Do Tour - Will was an incredible guide. The tour was fascinating with all of the history and the gems of Denver that we would’ve never known about. My husband is a whiskey guy, and he really enjoyed the different variety that Will presented. The tour was recommended to us by a friend and it was worth every penny. I highly recommend this tour.

Great way to Spend an afternoon walking around downtown - My husband and I decided to do this based on a recommendation from a coworker. Wow! What a great way to spend an afternoon!! Our guide, Will, was amazing! He had so much info and great history for various parts of Denver and clearly knew his way around bourbon! We saw some highlights, came across some hidden gems, and sampled exceptional bourbons both from well know distilleries like Makers Mark and local ones like Mile High Spirits! Great way to spend an afternoon walking around various pets of Downtown Denver. Highly recommend!

One of the Highlights of our trip! - As a person who loves history and whiskey I am so glad I was able to find this tour when we visited Denver! Our tour guide Will was very knowledgeable of the history of Denver and all of the other shenanigans that has gone on in old Denver. Will knows his Whiskey as well and you won’t be disappointed with his selections. Will is a very gracious host and you will have a great time!

Worth Every Sip and Every Story - Will was an awesome guide for this tour! We got to have a glimpse into the Old West, Denver's place in that story, and visit some places in Denver that we probably would not have come across had we not done this tour. It's very engaging and you will absolutely have the privelege of trying a handful of whiskeys along the way - more than worth the price!
