Definitely recommend! - Bruce was a great guide and my family and I all learned a lot and had a great time. I have lived in denver for over a decade but I really hadn’t ever gotten a cohesive sense of its history or the layout of downtown so this put a lot of pieces together for me. And it took the pressure off of me to entertain and inform my family about what’s special and interesting in Denver. Highly recommend!

Best walk ever Footsteps through history - Here’s a more casual, traveler-style review for a Denver historical walk: Denver Historical Walking Tour – Great Experience! I took a historical walking tour in Denver, and it was such a fun way to see the city. The guide was super knowledgeable and had tons of great stories about Denver’s past—from the gold rush days to the growth of the city we see now. Tour guide Kristina. made the tour exciting and fun and highly recommend taking this tour with her We got to check out some really cool old buildings downtown, like the Brown hotel and a few hidden gems I probably would’ve walked right past if I wasn’t on the tour. I loved how the guide highlighted small details that made you feel like you were stepping back in time. The walk itself was easy, with plenty of stops for photos and questions, so it never felt rushed. I left with a whole new appreciation for Denver’s history (and a list of spots I want to go back to and explore more). If you’re visiting Denver—or even if you live here and want to see the city in a different way—I’d definitely recommend going on this tour with Kristina. It’s a mix of history, storytelling, and just a great way to spend a couple of hours outdoors.
