PRIVATE Tour: Mile High Highlights (75 minutes)
We'll meet at The Colorado Convention Center's Big Blue Bear to kick off our walking cultural & history experience of Denver. We'll explore Denver's Civic Center area together, including eight of our favorite landmarks and sights while also digging into Denver's unique cultural and history that make our Mile High City so great. If you're the type that likes a little bit of everything: history, culture, art, & architecture; this tour's for you, and we always customize each tour based on your interests.
This walking experience visits the US Mint, the old Carnegie Library, and more, ending at our beautiful Colorado State Capitol building & lasts 60-75 minutes. We give great recommendations on our favorite nearby places to grab a bite to eat or drink after your experience wraps up. Along the way, you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, take photos, chat one-on-one and see and learn more in one hour than you thought possible!
