PRIVATE Walking Tour: Best of Denver (3 hours) 

Set out for a private walking tour through the heart of downtown Denver, enjoying a route that’s customized to your needs and interests. Along the way, enjoy plenty of time to chat with your guide, ask questions, take pictures, and learn more about the Mile High City past and present. Begin your tour at the State Capitol building, and then hit the pavement, strolling down the streets of the city center behind your knowledgeable guide. Denver has some great highlights to scope out during your outing, including Larimer Square—the city’s oldest block—where you can admire the historic architecture of landmark 19th-century buildings.

Pass by world-class museums like the Denver Art Museum, an ultramodern complex known for its indigenous works collection. Hear about well-known Denver residents from centuries past, including founding father General William H. Larimer. Denver is known as a jumping-off point for skiing in the nearby Rocky Mountains, so take in the city’s beautiful natural setting as you gaze out at the snow-capped peaks.

Continuing on through Denver’s definitively walkable downtown, check out the window displays of locally owned shops along the pedestrian-friendly 16th Street Mall. Stand outside the Denver Mint, which produces 10 billion coins each year, and hear about the plethora of entertainment options in town, from a river offering whitewater rafting to the country’s only downtown amusement park. Your tour wraps up at Union station in the heat of LoDo and surrounded by great places to eat, drink and shop.
