Uncover LoDo's Past: Denver's Historic 2-Hour Walk
THIS TOUR REQUIRES 4 GUESTS TO START What's LoDo? I’m happy you asked! Lower Downtown is Denver’s oldest neighborhood which is home to some of the best restaurants and attractions in Denver. On this 2 hour walking tour your savvy local guide will share fascinating history and point out local hot spots, where to eat and drink. We walk about 1.5 miles where we bring to life the past, present, and future of our beloved city. This tour is perfect for those who have limited time and a busy schedule. At the end of the tour you will feel more like a local and less like a tourist! We begin the tour at iconic Union Station and its significance to the survival of Denver as a city. Over the next 2 hours we walk a loop around LoDo where we share stories of Denver’s first Chinatown, visit the most famous bordello of its time, visit the oldest operating hotel in Denver, and learn about the underground tunnel system that runs beneath the city. TOUR LEAVES AT 11 A.M. PLEASE ARRIVE AT 10:45 A.M.

Great downtown tour. Will was knowledgeable and friendly. The stream of dad jokes was an added bonus. If you were looking for a grounding for the rest of your stay in Denver this is perfect.

Will is an excellent tour guide - knowledgeable, witty, and up on his ghost stories. I was born and raised in Colorado and I learned more than a few new things about the city’s history. It actually made me appreciate downtown Denver even more. This tour is an excellent way to spend a lovely afternoon in this historic city.

Our guide was knowledgeable and took us to many interesting places we would never have found on our own. He really did his research to make it informative Well worth it

Informative tour and just the right length. It was at times difficult to understand Will but other than that it interesting to learn about the history of Denver.

I was a first time visitor to Denver. And my wife and I really enjoyed this walking tour. The tour operator did a great job of given us the local history for each area of the downtown, who made the money who lost the money. Some dad jokes. It was very entertaining. But highly recommend.

Great historical walking tour and Will was a fantastic and funny tour guide. A lot of knowledge and kept the stories very entertaining. Pointed out interesting buildings and spots around town and the walk wasn’t too far so suitable for all ages

Will was terrific! The "dad jokes" were a bit corny, but they definitely helped break the ice. Will was a wealth of knowledge and he openly encouraged questions throughout the tour. He was also helpful in giving recommendations/insight into other areas outside LoDo. I highly recommend this tour!
