Tour description
Denver is the vibrant capital of Colorado, nicknamed the “Mile High City” because it sits exactly one mile above sea level, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Born during the Gold Rush, the city has grown into a dynamic metropolis closely connected to nature, with a beautifully restored historic downtown. On this tour, a local guide will reveal the city’s history and spirit.\n\nYou’ll begin at the magnificent Union Station, stroll through historic Larimer Square, and admire the gold-domed State Capitol. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about the Gold Rush, the railways, and mountain culture. Vibrant and picturesque, Denver is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
