A Very Interesting Tour of Historic Golden - I enjoyed the whole tour! We walked to and around numerous historic places in Golden, with interesting stories about each. The stories of Adolph Coors, the Armory building, William Loveland and the Old Capital Grill building when Golden was the Territorial Capital, the Welcome to Golden sign, the Harmsen’s creation of Jolly Ranchers, the Foss building, and the trip through the History Museum’s Park stood out as most interesting for me. It was an interesting 2-hour tour as we heard about Golden’s history. The tour guide spoke loudly enough that the traffic very seldom interrupted our interesting tour guide.

Very interesting, very informative tour! - I came to Golden from Seattle to visit my son, who moved to Golden earlier this year. My daughter (in Ohio!) found this tour online and suggested it to us. So glad she did! Our tour guide (Jewels) was very knowledgeable and delightful!

A Great Time Was Had by All! - Our tour guide, Hondo, made this experience the best! He was personable, easy going and full of information about the history of Golden, and spun his tales in a most enjoyable way!
We went on the one hour tour, which was just perfect for "seniors" ambling about. There was some slightly uphill terrain (not much) and Hondo allowed us time to sit and rest while he continued to pepper us with information! Highly recommend this tour!
