Nice walking tour. - Learned a lot and Kilian was most knowledgeable and informative. Kilian is clearly a history buff and is happy to share his expertise. Highly recommended.

Great spur of the moment tour - We weren’t sure how we’d be feeling after flying in, but once we arrived in Golden, we realized we were feeling energetic enough for a tour. The operator set us up with a Wild West Short Walking Tour with Jonathan and it was terrific. He gave us so much info about the history of the area and the stories of the people who arrived to found the town. He engaged with all of us (even the not-so-excited 18 year old) and planned our stops so I could sit some with my injured knee. He also shared ideas for other places to go and eat / drink. If you’re looking for a great storyteller, Jonathan fits the bill!

Great Family Day Learning about Golden - We had a great afternoon touring with Dominique. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaging. She did a fabulous job of making the tour fun despite the heat and the cross section of ages in the group. We learned so much about the Golden area, its people and sights. We’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Super fun and interesting! And our Golden bandana is a great keepsake!

A Five-Star Frontier Adventure! - If you’re looking for the real Wild West experience—with just the right mix of history, humor, and a little gunpowder flair—this tour is it! Our guide, Jonathan, was phenomenal. He brought the Old West to life with vivid stories, quick wit, and that cowboy charm you just can’t fake. He knew every detail, from notorious outlaws to frontier life hacks, and made the entire tour feel like a high-energy time machine. You could tell he genuinely loved what he does, and it made all the difference. Highly recommend this tour—just make sure you ask for Jonathan. He’s the real sheriff of this show. 🤠

Great Tour of Downtown Golden! - The tour of Golden was a lot of fun and very informational. We were the only ones in our group so we could ask Dom questions and go on small tangents more easily. She was great and answered all our questions. Will definitely recommend this to our friends.
