Great Way to Spend an Afternoon! - It was a perfect spring day to hang out with friends and foodies on the Downtown Denver (Dolo) Food Tour with Barry. I learned how many seconds it takes to make true Neopolitan pizza. I saw some of the oldest remaining buildings from 1800's Denver and the newest award-winning restaurants in town. Believe me, it was invigorating to get outside and enjoy the city while exploring some of the best restaurants in town, with friends old and new. I am a senior, and Barry certainly thought of innovative ways to allow me to keep up the trek without slowing down our progress. Thanks Barry! you're the best!

Little did we know how and where to eat in Denver. - Dan was a fantastic tour-guide. He educated and informed us about some history of Denver and the local food-scene and yet, he was very entertaining.
Great experience

Eat our way through Denver. What a blast! - Our tour guide was awesome. Rob was knowledgable, personable, and just fun. We visited five unique locations and stopped a few times while walking to each location for a story about the area. I liked that each location was very distinct from the last, so there was no overlap of flavors. This was a great way to get an introduction to the city. For this trip, it was just my husband and me; however, the next time we book, I will be including my two teenagers. They would have loved this tour.

Great tour and also Allergy friendly - Great tout. Great food. Great history. Julia was a great guide. Amazing flavors. She even accommodated my dairy and gluten allergies perfectly. I was worried about not being able to eat on a food tour, but Julia helped me feel comfortable and had options for me at every stop. Honestly, there were modifications for my allergies on every stop but i didn’t feel like a burden at all.
