About This Adventure

Embark on a captivating private tour of Denver, exploring vibrant neighborhoods like LoDo and RiNo. Discover historic landmarks such as Union Station and the Brown Palace Hotel, and enjoy local art and cuisine. Customize your experience with food stops and visits to top attractions, making every moment unforgettable.

Highlights Tour

A private experience can easily accommodate a drive through a few of Denver’s core neighborhoods, including Lower Downtown (LoDo) and Central Business District (CBD).

Among the major landmarks of LoDo, history lovers will enjoy a stop at Denver’s historic hub, Union Station, with a chance to venture inside and take in the breathtaking interior of the bustling station. We’ll treat any sports fans with a pass by Coors Field, home to Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies.

A must-see gem of the CBD is Brown Palace Hotel, one of the oldest hotels in the city and one of the most ornate and architecturally unique. We’ll hop back into the vehicle to head straight over to the impressive Colorado Convention Center, where your local guide can snap a shot of the group beneath the famous Big Blue Bear.

Another architectural wonder nearby is the Colorado State Capitol, where we can arrange, on certain days, to drop you off for one of the docent-led tours of the gorgeous interior.

Half-Day Tour

Outside of the historic district of downtown, there’s a world of art to explore in the adjacent River North, or RiNo, neighborhood. Explore the alleyways of murals by talented local artists, with an opportunity to stop inside Denver Central Market, a popular food hall with excellent local cuisine.

If it’s more history and grand houses you want, we’ll include a drive through the leafy neighborhood of Capitol Hill. Older historical mansions include Molly Brown’s house, where you’ll hear about the surprising story of one of Colorado’s heroic activists.

Full-Day Tour

An all-day tour (up to 10 hours) with us will include any of our Highlights and Half-Day mentions, with more opportunities to build in food and drink stops at your guide’s top recommended places.

Maybe you’ll be craving a cup of coffee in Capitol Hill; a brew, cider, or wine in RiNo; or a carefully crafted cocktail in a Larimer Square speakeasy.

While food halls offer local flavors that will appease everyone in the group, our guide might encourage you to go for a green chili dish – you tell us who does it best, Colorado or New Mexico?

With any driving tour, you can arrange admission in advance with us to one of Denver’s top attractions, including the Denver Botanic Gardens, Museum of Nature & Science, History Colorado Center, and Denver Art Museum.

Keep in mind that these itineraries are itineraries meant to inspire and make the most out of your Denver visit; let us know what’s on your wish list otherwise to customize the perfect experience!
