Great tour with lots of samples - The tour was just what I was hoping for. Some history, some jokes, not too much walking, and a ton of whiskey to sample. I really mean a ton. Do not pregame this tour or you might not finish it.

Great value, knowledgeable guide - Will did a fantastic job taking us around Denver, sharing his knowledge about Denver's history, buildings as well as the local whiskey. We got to sample far more whiskeys, Bourbons that I was expecting. He also provided pretzels, focaccia and banana bread from a local bakery. He also has another history walking tour of Denver if you want to just learn about Denver.

Great way to learn about Denver and Whiskey! - We took this tour as part of a retirement party for a business colleague. We had whiskey drinkers and those that don't like whiskey--but everyone had a great time!
Will is one of the best tour guides I have seen. His knowledge of Denver and whiskey are both very indepth. I've lived in Denver for 25 years, and kept learning more and more as the tour went on!
The whiskeys we tasted were great, and a very good variety. Will has cultivated relationships with the owners of the establishments we visited, which shows in the details of the tour.
Highly recommended--whether you are a local or a visitor, this is a must do tour in Denver.

3rd time on this tour and I still love it. - Anytime someone comes to visit me in CO, I take them on this tour. After attending this tour 3 times, I can say that it is well worth the cost and time. Will is an incredible tour guide and does a fantastic job exploring the history of Denver that we will never learn about in school. Every guest I have taken on this tour has enjoyed it immensely and I look forward to the next time friends come to visit and I can take someone else on this tour again.
Top tips - absolutely eat before hand, bring snacks and water, and do not pregame! The whiskey that Will shares with his tours can really sneak up on you!

Mile Highly Recommend - Great start to the tour meeting at Nallen's Pub, great little place to get started. Had some no-shows so more for us, I suppose. After a quick history presentation, we proceeded out to Larimer square and continued learning about how Denver was founded, the architecture and other fun facts about this beautiful city. I thought that Dairy Block was one of the most interesting places we got to see and it was beautifully decorated. Will even took the time to snap some photos for us before we proceeded to Seven Grand for a tasting session and a more focused whiskey lesson. We then proceeded with the tour, talking more history about architecture, people, and places before ending up at Mile High Spirits for a distillery tour. Excellent tour and presentation at Mile High. Will was able to talk to us about the distillery and distilling process while experiencing the sights, sounds, and smells of an active distillery. Finished off with some Mile High Spirits tasters and a chance to purchase the ones you like on the way out. Highly recommend this tour!
