About
Denver Graffiti Happy Hour Tour is the most unique way to experience Denver's urban side. It is very similar to our Denver Graffiti Original Tour, but with the bonus of a bar stop.
-
This two-hour walking tour of the RiNo Art District explores the story behind Denver's best murals and the artists who created them. Guides also touch on the political dynamics inherent in a rapidly growing city.
-
Because we've found people want flexibility in what they order or if they want to drink, we do not provide the alcohol but make time for the stop.
More Information
Denver Graffiti Happy Hour Tour is roughly 1 mile long. We hope a drink makes you find us funny, but no guarantees.
- The bar stop happens ~ 40 minutes into the tour and lasts ~ 30 minutes.
- We stop at a bar for you to grab drinks if you desire, but we do not pay for the drinks.
- Current bar stop is at GoldPoint Denver, a fabulous bar in the heart of RiNo on Larimer St, known for its cocktails.
What to Bring?
- Denver gets crazy amounts of sun. Please bring sunblock/sunglasses/hats/water.
- During the summer, it's not a bad idea to bring an umbrella to block the sun.
- During the fall and spring (no HH tour in winter), it's smart to wear layers as the weather can change quickly.
** NOTE: Minimum tour size is 2 people, so the very first booking for a tour must be at least 2 people. If you are unable to book, this might be the reason. Contact us for help. **
