Denver · DENVER WALKING TOURS
17 reviewed
The best of downtown Denver is a walk: Larimer Square, the LoDo blocks, the gold dome of the Capitol. These are the best Denver walking tours, best first, with how far each one covers, what it costs, and which start early enough to beat the afternoon heat.

Haunted Booze and Boos ghost walk in Denver LoDo with a small group, costumed guide, historic bars, and spooky stories. 21+.
“Our guide Noah was fun, the bars we stopped at were great. But I would have liked more history and background about Denver. We heard a few anecdotes about the city's early days but mostly just listened to stories specific to the three bars we went to, one bar we walked by, and a quick stop below street level to talk about the city's tunnels. If I had a do-over, I'd pick a different tour. Maybe my expectations are high since I've done these in older cities with more supernatural activity to work with.”

Denver’s adults-only ghost tour mixes true downtown lore, dark storytelling, and a small-group walk starting at Union Station.
“Our tour guide was a nice guy, but the stories he told were bland and obviously fake. It was supposed to be an adults only tour, with good, dark historical stories and the only adult thing mentioned was one cuss word. Many people in our group left within the first 30-40 minutes (including us). And the only scary part was the tour catching up with us and spooking us so..”
