Amazing Tour of Denver!!

Published on Feb, 2025

Kristina was AMAZING!! Best tour guide I’ve had. I’ve lived in Denver most of my life but she taught me SO very much about Denver’s history. She was a lot of fun to talk to, very knowledgeable, and friendly! I’ll definitely ask for her when I do the Red Rocks tour. Loved learning that Intrepid uses local tour guides wherever they are in the world. I love traveling and will remember to look up Intrepid tours in the next city or country I visit.

Haley is the best!
