“Me and my wife visited Denver for the first time and had the pleasure of doing the We-Venture walking tour with Kristina as our tour guide. She was very passionate about her city, had great local recommendations and knowledgeable about the history of Colorado. A must-do!”

On this tour your savvy local guide will share fascinating history and point out local hot spots (where to eat and drink). We walk about 1.5 miles where we bring to life the past, present, and future of our beloved city.
Walk around LoDo where we share stories of Hop Alley (Denver’s first Chinatown), visit Mattie Silks House of Mirrors (the most famous bordello of its time), visit the oldest operating hotel in Denver, and learn about the underground tunnel system that runs beneath the city.

“Absolutely loved my time here! 100% recommend getting the guided tour of the Brown house, and if you can take the Titanic tour. So informative, and I loved every second of my tour. Only thing– the stairs going down are the WORST but take your time. Tiny staircases for tiny 19th century people.”
