Was a fun tour that gave us an insight into some of the unique history of Denver including some amazing whiskey. Will was a great host!
The tour was a knockout hit, I'm telling other people I know about this tour who are big into whiskey and the history of Denver. The tour guide is top-notch. I highly recommend this tour.
So much fun! The guide was amazing and knowledgeable. Very worth it.
This was a very fun tour. We learned a lot about the local history as we walked about and stopped at various buildings. We sampled whiskey at three different stops including a local distillery that was closed to everyone but our small group. If you like history and drinking whiskey, this tour is for you!
This was such a great tour!! Will (guide) was fantastic—we learned (and drank!) so much. Would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys history or day drinking!
Wow. So much information. So much whiskey! We really enjoyed our afternoon with Will. He has vast knowledge of whiskey and Denver! Three very different stops on a walk a bit more than a mile. Drink your water, make your bathroom stops and absolutely no need to pregame for this one. You will get plenty to drink! Good value!
Will was an amazing guide… so knowledgeable and personable. Pours were generous… more than I personally could consume. Great variety of whiskeys. I learned a lot about whiskey AND the history of Denver.
We had such a nice time on this tour. The history was interesting and the whiskeys were fantastic. Highly recommend doing this for a nice stroll thats educational and tasty! So glad we booked it.
We had such a blast on our whiskey and history tour with Will! He was so knowledgeable, funny and fun to hang out with. We are both Denver natives and still learned so much. And trust me when I say there is no shortage of whiskey on this tour. Highly recommend!!
Great experience!! History of Denver combined with Whiskey amazing combination. Will was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend.
Had a great time doing this tour. We had great whiskey and learned a lot about Denver’s history. Highly recommend it :)
This was a really fun and unique tour! A chance to try lots of different whiskeys, really interesting history, and a knowledgable guide! We really enjoyed this experience and the 3 hours flew by.
Absolute best tour! So fun! Tour guide Will was amazing! Pretty sure we are now life long friends. The whiskey is amazing!
Really fascinating to learn about and walk through Denver’s Wild West history while sampling amazing whiskeys at creative and unique places. Good tour for both the history buffs and whiskey enthusiasts.
I got this as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend who loves whiskey! We had the best time, perfect combination of fun and history! Couldn’t recommend enough! We recently moved to Colorado and it was a super fun date night and way to learn about the city! We are both hungover today :)
4 stops to try Irish, Scotch, American and local whiskey. Walk between stops good for circulation and kept interesting with stories of Denver’s past.
This downtown Denver whiskey and history walking tour was truly fantastic. We were among the few locals in our group. While others came from the West Coast and the Midwest with different appreciations for whiskey and rye, everyone had an equally wonderful experience (just make sure to drink the water when offered; we are in the high desert, after all). Will, our tour guide, was absolutely outstanding - knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to listen to. He smoothly blended Denver history, Prohibition-era and brothel stories, and whiskey tastings, keeping the pace relaxed and his storytelling lively. He surprised us with a private distillery tour, the type where you're not quite sure if you're supposed to be there! It was definitely the highlight. The whiskey selections were excellent (some common, if only to illustrate the difference with the more unique varieties), the stops thoughtfully chosen (plan on photos in Milk Alley, it's beautiful), and we gained a new perspective on the origins of Denver - things we hadn't known even as locals and products of Colorado schools! If you’re interested in a Denver whiskey tour or want a fun, unique way to explore LoDo and a bit of RiNo, I highly recommend it. Remember to plan on having a bite to eat before, and a snack after, he's not skimping on those tastings! Thanks, Will!
Will was an incredible guide. The tour was fascinating with all of the history and the gems of Denver that we would’ve never known about. My husband is a whiskey guy, and he really enjoyed the different variety that Will presented. The tour was recommended to us by a friend and it was worth every penny. I highly recommend this tour.
My husband and I decided to do this based on a recommendation from a coworker. Wow! What a great way to spend an afternoon!! Our guide, Will, was amazing! He had so much info and great history for various parts of Denver and clearly knew his way around bourbon! We saw some highlights, came across some hidden gems, and sampled exceptional bourbons both from well know distilleries like Makers Mark and local ones like Mile High Spirits! Great way to spend an afternoon walking around various pets of Downtown Denver. Highly recommend!
Amazing Tour with Will...great history of Denver, good bar hoppping...super whiskey tasting, and overall an amazing experience of the beautiful city of Denver
This whiskey and history tour was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable, funny, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The mix of fascinating stories, hidden spots, and great whiskey tastings was perfect. We had the best time—definitely recommend this tour!
As a person who loves history and whiskey I am so glad I was able to find this tour when we visited Denver! Our tour guide Will was very knowledgeable of the history of Denver and all of the other shenanigans that has gone on in old Denver. Will knows his Whiskey as well and you won’t be disappointed with his selections. Will is a very gracious host and you will have a great time!
Will was an awesome guide for this tour! We got to have a glimpse into the Old West, Denver's place in that story, and visit some places in Denver that we probably would not have come across had we not done this tour. It's very engaging and you will absolutely have the privelege of trying a handful of whiskeys along the way - more than worth the price!
Great tour. Will was awesome and there were so many samples to try. Loved all the history that was given.
Such a great experience and SO much delicious whiskey. It was pretty cool learning about Denver’s history too!
Friendly, informative, fun! We enjoyed the route, history, and whiskey as well. Definitely worth booking, and I will sign up for the accompanying ghost tour, too.
Will was a great tour guide. My group really enjoyed learning the history of Denver while being able to try so many different whiskeys. Looking at the different buildings we passed and learning about their history was neat. The buildings’ architecture, changes in ownership, and beginnings was fascinating. Checking out the distillery at the end was really interesting as well. Also, Will has jokes and is entertaining throughout the tour! Highly recommend!!!
Will was absolutely amazing and we had a great tour. He knows the history of the place and shared a great deal of the history about the area and the whiskies. He maintained a great pace for us to keep up and his whiskey collection is really impressive. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. Go on this tour even if you are not drinking, I had some amazing mocktails based on Will's recommendations. Would 100% recommend the Whiskey tour with Will.
We had a fantastic time on the Whiskey and History Tour in Denver! Will was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. His deep understanding of Denver’s history combined with his great sense of humor made the tour both informative and entertaining. The whiskey tastings were plentiful and diverse, and ending the tour with a visit to the Mountain High Spirits distillery was a highlight. Will’s storytelling and jokes kept the group laughing throughout. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Denver’s history while enjoying excellent whiskey!
Excellent time - we did this for my dad's 65th birthday and it was a great experience with plenty of time to drink with and get to know other travelers. 10/10 would recommend
Great tour! Will was very knowledgeable about the history of Denver and provided plentiful pours of multiple whiskeys. Highly recommended!
This whiskey tour was amazing. I would not call myself a whiskey expert but I find this very informative and fun. Will was an excellent tour guide and made the tour interesting and a good time. I would do it again. Highly recommend.
Awesome experience!!!! Learning the history Colorado and the opportunities to try different varieties of whiskey was amazing! I definitely will be taking the tour again.
Will was awesome. Super informative history and the whiskeys were great. All of us had a great time and would definitely recommend!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind. We had a blast! I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about downtown Denver history.
Very entertaining and interesting. The drinks were amazing and we got to choose our own whiskey - which was unexpected. I’d highly recommend this tour.
Will (our tour guide) was amazing! He was knowledgeable and made our first day in Denver so memorable. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to get to know Denver.
We did this tour for my boyfriends birthday and had an amazing time! If you love visiting cool bars, learning about the history of the city, and drinking great whiskey, you will love this tour! Be sure not to drive there! 😁
This was my fourth Denver food/drink tour and I've also lived in Colorado my whole life, but I still learned some interesting new facts and history! I especially appreciated our tour guide Will's use of photos to help us visualize how each area we walked through has changed over the years. The whiskey element was also excellent. We got to try a nice variety and ended on the very cool experience of touring Mountain High Spirits distillery!
A fun experience. This was my first walking tour and I would highly recommend. Learned some interesting facts about old Denver. Our guide, Will, allowed us to sample great whiskeys not just once, but plentiful times. If you like whiskey, give this tour a shot.
We had a great afternoon learning about Denver's history and tasting some excellent whiskeys. Will was friendly, knowledgeable and committed to providing a good time for us. We loved seeing the Dairy Block and having a private room at Seven Grand. The Mile High Spirits distillery tour was the perfect ending.
Great tour. Loved the sights, the history and the whiskey. No pre-gaming before this tour is needed! You will leave it fuzzy headed for sure!!!
The tour is a great balance of seeing historic and unique areas of old downtown Denver and doing some whiskey tasting at unique bars and a downtown distillery. Even a bakery tucked away in an awesome alley. It’s a full 3 hours with a lot of walking. But the walking is easy with a few breaks. Wear comfortable shoes. The tour guide does a great job and is very knowledgeable about downtown Denver and whiskey. He obviously enjoys what he does. We definitely recommend and would do it again.
We enjoyed our whiskey and rye stroll through Denver history. Even some of our group who have lived in Denver for a long time learned new thigs about Denver. The whiskeys were good. The guide was excellent. Enjoy!
Excellent job blending Denver history and whiskey. Guide was extremely knowledgeable, open to questions, and included visuals for his information. The tour was well thought out and designed. We were impressed by the number and variety of whiskeys we were able to try. Would definitely recommend this tour to others!
Learning about the city while having a few drinks. Sharing time with family and enjoying the walk through town.
So fun and informative. We had a small group of 5 total so it was easy and low-key. Guide was very knowledgeable and fun. The tour through Denver was so interesting and beautiful you didn’t notice how much time was going by. The whiskeys offered were a broad spectrum of Scotch, Rye and Bourbon so everyone’s tastes were taken into account. Would highly recommend!
Tons of samples with history and architecture mixed in. Will was an excellent guide and the tour is overly generous. We had to decline samples and ask for half pours. Neat introduction to Denver. He even had ponchos if it rained. Leisurely pace
Our guide Will was a great storyteller weaving history along with humor for an engaging tour. The whiskey tastings were delicious as well as very informative. Highly recommend this tour.
