A great activity for the curious! - This tour was so fun and fascinating! My friends and I were exhausted from the grueling hike up/down Red Rocks from the night before, and we debated getting up the next morning for a walking tour. We are so glad we did! Dominique was so engaging and answered our million silly questions. She went above and beyond to tell us why Golden is so special. Would definitely recommend for anyone passing through.
