We had a great time and our guide was lovely. We managed to get lost in our Uber but she kept in touch and we found her on the 2nd stop of the trip. This was a different side of town for us and we really enjoyed the lights and all of the fun places our guide pointed out to us. We highly recommend the tour!
Heather was a terrific guide. The lights were beautiful. The history a bonus. It was the first trip without medical staff for my nephew who was recently paralyzed. Her care and concern and the fact that it was completely accessible was appreciated beyond measure.
Heather was great! Fun and informative tour. We enjoyed the history. Good stops along the way with bathroom breaks and places to warm up.
Tour was great. Bill made it so fun. The pace was perfect. Loved the ghost stories. History content was interesting.
Our tour was fun! Our guide, Bill, was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. We really enjoyed the tour of the lights and buildings!
The Holiday light tour was so fun! Heather is an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. The lights are so pretty and the Denver history was very interesting. You might just hear some ghost stories too! 10/10 would do again.
Bill was an excellent tour guide. Fun and energetic! First time in Denver, and had no idea the back story. Bill was very knowledgeable. Thanks Bill, from Valeri 🤗
We had such a wonderful time on this history and holiday lights walking tour! It blended fascinating local history with the most beautiful seasonal decorations. Heather, our incredible guide, brought the past to life with engaging stories, and the holiday displays made the whole experience feel warm and festive. A major highlight was the spectacular drone show, which lit up the sky with synchronized designs and added an unforgettable modern twist to the holiday atmosphere. It was truly stunning! We ended at the Christkindl Market, where we enjoyed delicious food, fun shopping, and all the cozy holiday vibes. It was the perfect way to wrap up an already lovely evening. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn something new, get into the holiday spirit, and take in some truly magical sights!
Heather is a fantastic tour guide and the little nuggets of downtown Denver’s history were so fun, even as someone who lives here. We did the holiday lights tour but will definitely come back in the spring or summer for the ghost tour!
The guide was very informative and lively. I highly recommend for singles, partners and families ☺️❤️
The tour guide Heather made this tour fun and informative and lead a great walking tour! A couple of stops did not go as planned due to circumstances beyond tour’s control but we seamlessly moved on to other attractions. Heathers voice projected so all could hear. Narration included all kinds of interesting facts and stories. Would recommend this walking tour!
Our tour guide Bill was great! He was very enthusiastic the entire time! We’ve lived in Denver our whole lives and didn’t know some of the things that he mentioned to us. My favorite part was seeing the city and county building light up. He made sure we were there on time to see it. It was great!
Great guide, Jessica! The lights tour was easy and fun and wonderful! Jessica was fantastic! She even brought umbrellas for the drizzle!
Seeing the Christmas lights with my best friend. Getting hot chocolate. Learning a little more about Denver history. Meeting other people. Heather was bubbly and fun.
We only saw one place that had Christmas lights- very disappointed. It was on my birthday also😢 it was one of the tours that I was looking so forward to
Our tour guide was excellent!! He provided history, stories and carried an absolutely positive and festive demeanor. The tour was great as well. A must do for the rest of my family and friend who visit Colorado.
Learning the history of Denver. Also Bill the tour guide!!! Beautiful lights!!! My daughter and boyfriend relocated here . They love the tour also.
I really enjoyed learning more about the history and stories behind the historic buildings in Denver. However, I expected the tour to be more focused on major Christmas Lights displays around the city as the tour is named a Holiday lights tour. Overall, I really enjoyed the tour and our tour guide (Koby) seemed very knowledgeable and nice. I think it may need to be renamed however.
Perfect tour to explore the city and lights. Not too long, just long enough to get a feel for the city and appreciate the holidays. The tour guides were great!
I went with my mother on the tour, who was visiting from overseas. We had a wonderful time, lot of information and very nice lights to see. We actually caught the lightning of the Civic Center right on time. Great tour and very much worth the money.
