The Molly Brown House Museum tour exceeded expectations. We booked same-day on a relaxed Sunday afternoon, and the experience felt both intimate and insightful. Our guide was exceptional--not only covering the highlights but diving deeper to answer every question with genuine knowledge and enthusiasm. The tour offered meaningful context about who Margaret "Molly" Brown and her family were, the lives they led, and the impact they had. From the personal memorabilia to the unique features of their historic home, the details brought their story to life. If you have any interest in the Titanic's most legendary survivor--or simply love rich Denver history--this tour is absolutely worth your time.

17th floor observation deck view of the clock face.

Our tour of the D&F Tower on 16th St was great! We had never been up despite being Denver natives. The views...Spectacular!...Adrenalin Rush?...just enough while out on the observation decks!...A true Denver landmark that would be a great easy tour for anyone. Elevator is about 25ft from the curb, up to the 17th floor for the initial views from the lower observation deck. 3 flights of stairs to the upper deck views. No stairs at all to get on the 17th floor deck. Highly recommended!

We were going to be heading thru Denver on our way to see my son and wanted something interesting to do. I am always up for a historical adventure and this one did not fail. Titanic artifacts made it a plus! We chose the self guided tour, but staff were available to answer any questions. The only down side was it was a bit warm, which is to be expected from an older building, and also, the one hour seemed a bit rushed. We had the final reservation for the day, and as such, missed out on the gift store as it closed promptly at 5. It would be nice to keep it open at least 30 minutes after the final tour. Other than that, a great field trip destination for all ages!

Rhyolite House

Rebecca was a fabulous tour guide. She talked about the geology of the houses built out of Rhyolite and Castle Rock Sandstone. We also learned about "poets row" that was constructed after the great depression. Poets row is an eclectic group of apartments, named after famous poets and other writers. This tour is well worth one's time to understand Denvers rich history as a supplier to mining communities during the gold rush. A time when many individuals became wealthy overnight. A fun walking tour!

I've been meaning to visit for most of my life and finally took the self guided tour this weekend. it was lovely and the staff are very knowledgeable. I loved having a little information basket in each room so you can read more about the specific room and sometimes you have a sample of the wallpaper etc. in the basket to hold and examine closer. such a cool place.

Even if I wasn't a Titanic enthusiast, this would be an awesome experience. The amount of restoration and reservation in this legendary home is Phenomenal. Milly Browns story and what she stood for lies way beyond the Titanic. I got goosebumps walking through the home and the audio, just made it that much better. The audio gives you an opportunity to feel each room and what it stood for. Highly recommend this experience!

My family and I recently visited Denver and booked the 2-Hour LoDo Historic Walking Tour. What a…read morefun experience! Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and a wonderful storyteller. We learned so much about Denver's history, how the city has evolved over the years, and the stories behind many of its historic buildings and landmarks. The tour also helped us discover several places we wanted to return to and explore in more depth. The meeting location was easy to find, and we were each given an audio headset so we could hear our guide clearly throughout the tour--a thoughtful touch that made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great introduction to Denver, I highly recommend this tour.

I really enjoyed learning about the area's history and recent revitalization. I love it when cities can repurpose old buildings rather than tear them down. The tour started and ended at the train station which is an impressive building and is nicely air conditioned which helped us cool down at the end of the tour. The earbuds made it easy to hear throughout the tour even when there was traffic noise. Definitely bring plenty of water if it's hot out; there is shade which helps, but it is a walking tour so be prepared to be outside for the majority of the time. I was very happy I was wearing my sun hat. This was a fun activity and it was great to learn about the area of Denver where we were staying.

His depth of knowledge is almost unbelievable--in the best way. He understands the artwork, the artists, Denver's history, the surrounding neighborhoods, and the cultural significance of graffiti and street art. He does not simply point out interesting pieces; he helps you understand the stories, people, and communities behind them. I learned so much and took more than 100 pictures along the way. Meeting Graham, a local artist, was an unexpected and amazing highlight that made the tour feel even more special. What stayed with me most was how the tour revealed Denver as a city filled with creativity, history, culture, and wonderful people. Randy was welcoming, thoughtful, engaging, and incredibly generous with his time and knowledge. Whether you already love graffiti and street art or are simply curious about Denver, take this tour. You will leave seeing the city--and the art around you--with new eyes.

There are three tours run by this company: the classic tour, the RiNo North tour, and the happy…read morehour tour. In order to cover as much ground as possible, I scheduled the RiNo North tour (covers north side) and the happy hour tour (supposedly covers much of what the classic tour covers). Randy was my guide, and was a laid back, knowledgeable guy. I fancy myself a bit of a street art connoisseur and think I could have done a lot of this on my own if I had done some planning, but Randy did offer a lot of info I didn't know about the art community in Denver and various street art terms I wasn't familiar with. We made a brief stop during the North tour for bathroom and drink breaks. For the happy hour tour, you're supposed to stop at a brewery, but I was the only one on the tour, so Randy and I opted to keep checking out art instead of stopping. Once I started posting on instagram, I consulted the pages they provide so you can credit the artists. Looking through those pages for all three tours, I really think the original gives you the most bang for your buck. If I could do it over, I would have just scheduled that one, then spread out on my own. Tours are around 32 bucks each. You can only book them if at least two people have booked, which is the minimum. I got the solo happy hour tour because I booked two tickets (I'm an anxious planner and was willing to pay extra to have it locked in on my schedule). Each tour covers about two miles and lasts around two hours. Worthwhile tour where you'll see some great street art, learn about the Denver art community, and get to know more about the town itself.

They have offices are based in Glasgow UK, and Denver CO USA, and with a network of partners from hoteliers to luggage teams around the globe. My Brother's previous positive experience on the West Highland Way (Scotland) got Gayle and I interested in our own lodge-to-lodge walking tour. We chose "Cotswolds in Comfort" which was 6 days and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. And everything was so interesting and gorgeous. Yes, it rained on the first day and we walked through a lot of mud. Macs Adventure can't control that, but the other stuff that they could manage, went off almost flawlessly. That included excellent accommodations, efficient luggage transfer, pre-trip information, and a walking app that kept us on our paths and never lost. Actually, we did wander off once to avoid mud, and the app did show us where we could get back on path. We're now talking about where our next Macs Adventure walking tour might be. France? Germany? New Zealand? Switzerland? Stay tuned!

While on the Denver City Tour, we came by the Mamie Doud House, which was also known as the Summer…read moreWhite House, when Mamie Doud's husband, President Eisenhower, was Commander-in-Chief in the 1950's. It is located in the ritzy Capitol Hill part of town. This stately home is on the National Register of Historic Homes, as it is a well-preserved architectural example of American Foursquare. Locally, this type of house is called a "Denver Square," which simply means that the design has four square rooms on the first and second floors. According to Wikipedia "Mamie Eisenhower lived in this house from 1906 until 1916. The Eisenhowers were married in the first floor music room on July 1, 1916. Their son, John Eisenhower was born in Denver on August 3, 1922, while Mamie was living in the house." After Mamie Eisenhower's mother died in 1960, she sold the home to a real estate investor. Since then, the house has gone through several owners. It is still privately owned and not available for tours. But Denver city tour operators do stop along the street in front of the house and talk about it's history. The Mamie Doud House is something the city Of Denver is proud of, as the Doud family were prosperous and their daughter Mamie certainly married well. Mamie Doud is so beloved that a park in southeast Denver was named after her as well as a public library in Broomfield, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. As a Historic Home on the National Registry, the Mamie Doud House is a great example of America's late 19th and early 20th century architectural heritage. 4 YELP STARS.
