⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a wonderful experience! Excellent choice of stops. Plenty of very good food. Our tour guide Kathy was relatively new, which astonished us because we thought she was a ten year veteran. Great way to spend an afternoon.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was such a great experience! It was so fun to get to try out several different restaurants. Had I been on my own, I would have only made it to one! Instead we got amazing samples from 5 fantastic places, learned about the uniqueness of the food and also learned history of Colorado … Read more “Great!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our tour guide, Jason, was incredible. The ambiance, drinks, appetizers, historic stories, and bars were incredible. I definitely recommend the cocktail tour.
