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.

Vacation Food Tours managed to put together a very well thought out itinerary that took into consideration each persons specific tastes as well as food allergies. The food was great and I really liked the gluten free options that were provided. Walking from one venue to another offered us a chance to digest food so that I could eat more at the next destination! Overall great food and excellent customer service. What I liked most is that it took the guess work out of where to eat, especially considering the wide array of food choices in Chicago. Great experience overall!! Will use their services in other cities as well.

We had VACATION FOOD TOURS prepare a personal food tour for our 2 1/2 day visit. This was our first visit to NY and so we were interested in packing in as much as possible. Our tour included food as well as sights. We had an aggressive agenda and managed to hit 14+ restaurants. Be advised, you should really share your food or you will never make it through the tour. The idea is to try the most amazing dish at each location. Don't think that you will go broke eating at each restaurant. Some of the stops were less than $5 to try a dish. Not all stops are sit down restaurants either. While the calorie intake may scare you, if you follow the tour prepared by VACATION FOOD TOURS you will walk off your food and see the sights at the same time. This is a must-do tour for any foodie. We had an amazing Kobe burger and the most fabulous Mexican dish. I would love to tell you the names of these restaurants, but you'll just have to contact VACATION FOOD TOURS for your personalized tour. Our last stop on the tour was Central Park, and although it wasn't written on our agenda, we just happened to run into Yoko Ono who was also enjoying the park. If you are planning a trip and love food you must do one of these food tours!

Rick is an amazing tour guide, not to mention person. He made the tour engaging and fun. Being from Denver, we were honestly glad that it was part history part whiskey. We got deeper insight into placed in downtown Denver that we weren't aware of. The discounts at Mile High Spirits and El Chapultepec were definitely worth it as well. We plan on doing more of their tours in the near future and highly recommend Centennial Tours! Thanks, Rick!

DENVER BRUNCH BUS!!…read more My wife and I just did the Denver Brunch Bus and were totally impressed - we had the most fun ever and I would totally recommend the tour whether you live in Denver or are visiting and looking for a fun half-day, getting driven around the city to try the best food and drinks in the Brunch scene. Rick and David were awesome and very knowledgeable guides! They made us feel welcome and really owned the Brunch tour while providing great customer service. They promoted fun and helped connect all of the guests on the bus... after 15 minutes, we no longer felt like strangers. If you are considering the Brunch Bus or have just stumbled upon this review by chance, I would say don't hesitate - the Brunch Bus is even more fun than it sounds in the description and you will be happy you did it :) Note: We are Denver locals and had been to most of the places on the tour and STILL enjoyed it and learned a lot about the restaurants and bars we went to - Especially loved Mile High Spirits!

The introduction consisted of a short film narrating the history of the business, and then a wonderful lady took us through the factory line, with us peering through large picture windows to watch as hard candies, lollypops, chocolates, marshmallows and more were being made. We weren't actually allowed on the factory floor due to health regulations, but there were television screens along the walk to show us every single angle and ensure that we didn't miss out on anything. At the end, we each got a free lollipop. Score! The candy shop itself had a good collection of sweets. I was hoping for more varieties of their chocolate bars, but surprisingly they had a very limited selection. Be sure to check out their seconds/clearance area if you want to buy discounted items.

It was such a fun 30-minute tour with children or adults. The tour starts with a short video explaining the history and giving fun facts about Hammond Candy. After the tour of the factory, we each received a free candy, which was taffy. It's cool that they sell the same taffy at Trader Joe's. We ended up buying some of the caramels and candies to take home to our family. Overall, a fun little experience if you're interested in the candy making process or just want something to do with your family!

My friend and I decide to try out a ghost tour while we were in Denver last year and I am so happy…read morewe ended up going with Nightly Spirits! We booked the two and a half hour Ghost Tour and Pub Crawl in the LoDo Neighborhood. This not only meant we got to check out some of the cooler bars in the area, but got to hear their history and hear some pretty spooky stories. We stopped at 5 bars/pubs along with a couple stops on the street in between. The guide was very passionate about the history and stories he was telling. He even dressed up in old-timey clothes to set the mood. If we ever go back to Denver, we definitely plan on booking a different tour through Nightly Spirits!

We took off on a 70 minute or so tour of some supposedly haunted establishments in a one mile area…read moreof downtown Denver. The guide was named Hailey and she was nice enough, but soon it became apparent that there was too much talking on this tour and not enough action. Every ghost or haunting was connected to the brothel industry or a bar and nothing new has been hsunted over the years. The only truly interesting story was of a photo hanging at the Celtic ( where you spend your first 20 minutes). Nothing can be verified though and these stories all seem to handed down via mouth, rather than paper. Another problem was the tour started in one place, but ended in Union Station and if your visiting for the first time like me, she doesn't tell you how to get back to your car. Hailey is clearly underpaid counting on a $10 bonus from the cheap owners of this national company. The tour starts out boring and never recovers. Also, there are some shameful plugs for restaurants that they want you to eat at after you finish. Secretly paid sponsors.

Four of the 9 ppl in our van took advantage of it - which meant the tour went an hour beyond the allotted time and we were rushed through the sites we paid to see. It ruined our last night in town as we missed our dinner reservation and after dinner plans - which didn't concern the driver in the least. Other lowlights were listening to the guide drone on and on about his life and opinions, pulling over THREE times as one lady thought she maybe saw some wildlife waaaayyy in the distant woods, and spending much too long in a small town where half the stores were closed so the gondola opters could have their unscheduled fun and the tour company could grab a few extra dollars.

Other than giving her our dates and destinations, we basically let Courtney to take it from there. She's the expert, so we decided to trust her to put together an amazing trip. We're so glad we did. There is no way we would have put this trip together ourselves, and honestly, we wouldn't have even known about some of the hotels, transportation options, and experiences she found for us. It was such a luxury to have someone else handle most of the details and let us just show up and enjoy the trip. We are so happy we found Courtney and already can't wait to work with her again. Someone asked me afterward if this was a "once-in-a-lifetime" trip. My answer was, "Hell no." We can't wait to do something this epic again.

Courtney was there supporting us every step of the way, providing guidance, recommendations, and reassurance whenever we needed it. Her knowledge, organization, and attention to detail made the entire journey feel seamless and effortless. Because of her, we were able to experience moments we likely never would have discovered on our own. This trip created memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and we are incredibly grateful for the care, dedication, and passion Courtney put into making it so special. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend her and Play Global to anyone looking to plan a meaningful and unforgettable trip.

My grandma didn't even need to pedal because with 3 of us pedaling it was pretty easy. I liked the bridge and the little history markers along the route. Excited to come out later and see the Christmas tour! We loved the yard games and snacks at the depot too! I'm glad the confirmation email recommended bringing water and sunscreen as it was a bit hot by the afternoon, but we were prepared. We liked the snacks at the turn around too. My grandpa especially liked the history presentation, and asked the staff lots of questions about the mines and the railroad stuff. We didn't do the audio history tour but will try it next time. Overall, it was a great family day out!

Then I saw on another account that we actually had one in Colorado and it wasn't too far from where I actually lived. I thought it would be the perfect gift for my husband's birthday. Doing more research, I noticed they had all different types of experiences from sunset rides, rails and ales to night time Halloween and Christmas light rides. Booking the ride was simple on their site. When we got there, we noticed it was a compound of activities; such as lawn games that you could do while you wait for your ride. I thought this was really fun and doing it at night with the Halloween lights would have been even cooler but a nice brisk fall day made it such a Colorado thing to do. I do wish it was a bit longer than it was for the price. It's a bit expensive for the length of the ride. Especially when I found out there was another railbike track in southern Colorado with longer rides and the price was cheaper. I think there should be some sort of discount if there is only two riders vs the full four. I do plan on doing this again during Christmas time with the lights!
