Tour description
Denver is the vibrant capital of Colorado, the 'Mile-High City' set exactly one mile above sea level at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Born in a gold rush, it has grown into a lively, outdoorsy metropolis with a beautifully restored historic core. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and spirit.
You will start at the grand Union Station, wander historic Larimer Square, and see the golden-domed state capitol. Along the way you will hear about the gold rush, the railroads and the mountain culture. Lively and scenic, Denver is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
