Overview

Take a deeper look into Denver and get to know why locals love the Mile High City so much. On this tour, your local guide will show off downtown Denver’s incredible historic architecture and tell you stories of how this pioneer town came to be the capital of Colorado. In addition to seeing the city’s most iconic landmarks including the Capitol State Building and Union Station, you’ll get a chance to see preservation and revitalization side-by-side at historic Larimer Square. Throughout the tour, your guide will make sure to point out the best places to eat, drink, shop, and play in and around Denver!

Meeting points

At the Colorado Veterans Monument in Lincoln Memorial Park, on the west facing side of Capitol Building, between Lincoln Street and North Broadway.

End point

Open in Google Maps

A central location in the LoDo neighborhood, close to public transit.

Itinerary

  • Colorado State Capitol

    Our tour begins at the Colorado State Capitol, a beautifully historic building constructed in the late 19th century. Here, you'll meet your guide and hear the beginnings of Denver's rich history.

    10 minutes

  • LoDo

    Lower Downtown (known as LoDo to locals) showcases the more modern side of Denver. You'll walk along the 16th Street Mall, home to many sources of entertainment from restaurants to local music. It's the heart of modern Denver!

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • N/A

    Your guide will lead you into this wonderfully picturesque, late 19th century hotel where you'll be able to marvel at the one-of-a-kind architecture.

    5 minutes

  • Larimer Square

    This bustling area of LoDo is one of locals' favorite spots for shopping, dining, and entertainment. We'll likely walk down this tree-lined street along the tour.

    10 minutes

  • Denver Union Station

    Refinished and refurbished to its former glory, Union Station continues to operate as Denver's main train station - a far cry from it's early days bringing settlers to the West. Today, Union Station boasts restaurants, shopping, and lots of people-watching. When your tour ends, you'll be in the perfect, central spot to continue exploring downtown Denver!

Dwayne was understanding and flexible when my Uber couldn't find the meeting place. We met at the second stop which my driver was able to find. Dwayne was very informative and personable. The tour helped me get around more easily in downtown Denver.

Kristina did an absolutely amazing job! We had a very small tour which worked out great for me. I learned a ton about several neighborhoods and some great food choices. I definitely recommend to anyone looking to get familiar with the city!
