Notice 2 exclamation marks? Great tour led by Rick that not only was fun, but we learned so much about Denver and some of the history! We sampled Whiskeys, Bourbons, a Tequila, Gin, and Rum. We are natives and still, WE LEARNED SO MUCH! Whether you’re a native or a visitor to Denver. You really should take this tour!!

Traveler
A fun way to do a first time walking tour of Denver. Rick was very knowledgeable and fun! I’m not a huge whiskey fan, but definitely also enjoyed learning about it. Excellent customer service – I forgot a jacket and shot glasses at the last stop and Rick met us the following day to return the items!

Parking: Generally, we recommend consulting the Best Parking site for the lowest rates:
However, one of the best parking options is in the lot adjacent to Mile High Spirits (north of MHS on the left). it’s only $3 for the day (excepting Rockies games days). There is limited free parking (street-side) in the vicinity too, but many are 2-Hour Only, so beware. The tour is 2 hours long, but most likely you will not make it back to your car within that window.
