Perfect way to see the Rino district - Fun tour to see a part of Denver that I wouldn't have known about on my own. Jeremy has a lot of local crime stories to tell, which made it more interesting. It was a pleasant surprise to see so many murals and I took over 40 pictures. Glad it didn't end up raining, as we came in from Dallas and wouldn't have been able to reschedule.

Interesting Combo of Art & Crime - Jeremy was very knowledgeable and personable. We went in late May and the weather was perfect - such a beautiful time of the year in CO. The tour started at 5pm and lasted about an hour and a half. The day before the tour Jeremy proactively contacted us letting us know where/when to meet which made it easy to meet up and start the tour. My phone shows that we walked about 5,000 steps during the tour. Jeremy shared a lot of interesting stories about both the murals in the area and true crime that happened in Denver. Interesting combination! Would recommend for anyone looking for a good overview of Denver history, art, true crime stories, and other recommendations for things to do while you’re in town.

Fantastic tour, beautiful murals and interesting dark history - Jeremy was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable on the dark history of Denver I liked how he tied in several of the murals in RHINO to the dark history. He was super friendly and very accommodating. I would absolutely take another tour with Jeremy!

Take the tour! - Jeremy was a fantastic tour guide. His knowledge of true crime in Colorado was evident and he even had research information available to view on his Ipad. It was very neat to learn how some of the murals were connected to the crime. I would definitely contact Jeremy for another tour.

Book Jeremy for a tour! - Jeremy was prepared, punctual, polite and informed. I sought a true crime (not paranormal ghost) themed walking tour and he delivered! The next time I visit Denver I'll book an outdoor activity with Jeremy., perhaps hiking or snowshoeing. I learned, I enjoyed, I'll book again.
