How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

If you're wondering if you should sign up for this tour, DO IT! Our tour guide, Will, is remarkable! His knowledge of Denver history and whiskey, bourbon, scotch, and spirits is unmatched! The tour was only a few hours, and he took us around to several parts of the downtown historic area, we stopped at a fantastic bakery for a snack, and a couple of bars and a distillery. The tour is one million percent worth doing and recommended for couples, friends, and adult families.

The Cheeseman Park Haunted Ghost Tour was amazing! I’ve lived in Denver for 8 years and hadn’t known all of the rich history of the park and stories behind its perimeter. It really got us in the Halloween spirit. Our guide will was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend!

As a first one visitor to Denver, I took this tour to become familiar with and to get acclimated to the city. Will clearly enjoyed being our guide and had great stories and anecdotes about Denver and its history. He also provided lots of recommendations for dining and other things to do. Highly recommended!

Took the lower downtown walking tour with Will, and it was great. He was a very knowledgeable guide and very personable. He had interesting stories and historical facts and encouraged us to take pictures and ask questions. If you get a chance to take a tour with this company...it will be well worth it.
