You’ve found it – the original Colorado Springs food tour that started in 2010! Join us as we celebrate our local chefs, delicious local food, and the vibrant culture of our blossoming downtown on this roving food tour.
In just three hours, you’ll experience five of downtown Colorado Springs’ most distinctive culinary highlights. Each local hot spot will be ready and waiting to serve generous portions of their signature fare.
Your expert tour leader will share stories of our history as well! With tales of the original Antlers Hotel, founder William Jackson Palmer, Pikes Peak, Spencer Penrose, the railroad, and more, even locals will walk away having learned a thing or two.
