Loved this tour - My husband, step-son and I had the good fortune of scoring a private walking tour with our guide Bruce. He was born and raised in Denver and and is proud and in the know. In addition, he was fun to be with. The tour was two hours long, pace was fairly easy. Comfortable shoes a plus.

One Mile High and Feeling Fine! - Despite the insane heat, we had a very entertaining and enthusiastic guide. Kristina was knowledgeable and knew the best places to show us and enlighten us; she also knew the best places to cool off!!! She was considerate of our “land speed” and our need to follow whatever shade she could find. Kristina also gave us an excellent recommendation for a happy hour destination where we could cool off , get refreshed and get refueled. I’ve highly recommend Kristina and this particular tour!
