Good overview of Denver

5.00This tour was a great way to get a brief, interesting history on Denver. The guide told us interesting stories, showed and explained different areas of the city, and pointed out popular places to eat. Being that we only had one full day in Denver, we felt it was a great way to start out in the day so we could figure out where to spend the rest of it!

5.00Heather and Bill were informative and fun. The tour covered so many interesting things and kept it fun and funny. The walking wasn’t too much even for my 78 year old dad with a cane. Next time we’re doing the ghost tour!

5.00Heather and Bill were friendly and knowledgeable. They worked well off each other and the tourists. They included lesser known facts and antidotes about the places we visited. Next time I’m doing the ghost tour!

5.00My sisters and I took this tour today. I had made the reservations months ago. Last Sunday I broke my foot! I called Viator and asked if I could still participate. They contacted our guide and got right back to me! They told us not to worry, they would take very goods care of us!! They certainly did that. Heather & Roger (tour guide & driver) were wonderful! Heather helped me on & off, then on a couple of stops that I couldn’t climb the steps to Capital Building for one) Roger kept us entertained! Wonderful time was had by all sisters!
