It was very informative I learned a lot and really enjoyed the tour !! Learned unique things!! About 2 hours long.

Kristina tells such fun, animated stories on the Wild West Walking Tour! I learned so much about Golden’s history, and the whole experience was truly memorable. I’d love to come back and explore more of what Golden has to offer!
Kristin was a great story teller. The weather didn’t allow for the full walk. But our guide kept us dry and entertained.
Hondo gave a great tour of Golden and pointed out a lot of history you wouldn’t notice walking on your own. Thanks for a great afternoon in Golden!

We had a wonderful tour experience with Kristina!! She was so knowledgable and fun! This tour was such a great way to learn more about Golden and its history. We had a fantastic time!!
Great tour. Small group. Good value. Both guides were very knowledgeable. It was very hot and sunny the day we went and our guides were very mindful of trying to find shaded areas to do their talking.
Kristina was AMAZING! She was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and made us feel right at home. The group was small which was great because we could ask more questions. Very worth the money. Will definitely be back!
Excellent tour learning about the history of Golden and Buffalo Bill! Phoebe and Chris were fantastic!
The tour was entertaining and informative. We liked the blend of nature walk and city walk. Hondo is a great storyteller! He was so good to answer questions and find shade for us on a hot day. He even gave us restaurant recommendations.
We had the 2 hour tour with Kristina. Her knowledge and love of the area came through loud and clear. She was pleasant and enthusiastic telling us the stories of the old west and the history of Golden. She was also thoughtful to keep us cool in the summer heat.

We got lucky and got Chris for a “private” tour. We were the only people on this particular tour and we had a great time! Chris obviously loves his town and knows the history. We learned so much about Golden and its background.
Kristina was fantastic! We learned so much about the history of Golden and the key characters of the Wild West. The visuals were great, the stories were fascinating, and her knowledge of the area was impressive. We needed to start a little later than planned, and she was incredibly accommodating and flexible.

The perfect way to learn a lot about the history of the Old West in a short amount of time. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience! Kristine was fantastic, informative and fun. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone visiting the area
Hondo was a great guide. Despite the weather, we had a great time.
This was a great experience. We didn't really know what to expect but we were in town for a tour of Coors brewery and needed something to do after. We booked this and so glad we did. They did a great job of staying in character of the Wild West and taking us on a small walk through Golden, telling the history of the town. It was a blast.
We had a wonderful tour of Golden with Dom. She shared so much history of this beautiful town and told many stories from the Wild West days. I would highly recommend this for visitors and natives of the area!
We had such an enjoyable time with Diondra! She was a knowledgeable, passionate and educated tour guide! Would highly recommend the tour. So many fascinating stories about Golden and its history
Our guide Kilian was extremely informative about the history of Golden. He was the perfect guide making the tour educational, humorous, fun, and interactive. Stories about the area we had never heard. 2 hours passed way too quickly.
I really enjoyed this. I learned a lot of fun things about Golden that I did not know and I've lived in Denver for 25 years! My parents also enjoyed the tour. I would recommend it.
The stories were interesting, our guide was friendly, and the walk was easy with lots of shade and places to sit. Would highly recommend.
The tour was a blast and very informative. Learned a lot of new things. Thank you Dom, you are AMAZING!
So much fun! If you’re staying in Golden, you absolutely NEED to do this tour. There’s a lot of interesting history in the area. We wished that we had signed up for the 2 hour tour!
This tour was so fun and fascinating! My friends and I were exhausted from the grueling hike up/down Red Rocks from the night before, and we debated getting up the next morning for a walking tour. We are so glad we did! Dominique was so engaging and answered our million silly questions. She went above and beyond to tell us why Golden is so special. Would definitely recommend for anyone passing through.
Killian was so very personable and a great story teller about Golden history. His enthusiasm made it a great 2 hours. Very interesting experience. We learned so much and enjoyed a nice cold beer in Golden after we left him. Thank you for the recommendation, TripAdvisor.
Golden History Tour was very interesting! Learned so much about the history of the city and the area and presented in a fun, interactive performance by our tour guide, Dominique. We really enjoyed the tour!
Jonathan gave us an excellent tour of Golden! There were plenty of places to sit comfortably while he brought to life the past of the scenes before us. I gained a whole new appreciation of why Golden is Golden.
Very enlightening our guide Jonathan knew everything about the history of the area and more. He made it exciting and inspiring.
Learned a lot about Golden, CO. Lots of historical context and the walk around town was easy. Finding the starting point and group was an ease, too. Would definitely recommend this tour to fam and friends.
A very interesting and informative tour. Jonathan is friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of Golden and the West and more than happy to share it in an interesting way. You also get a bandana what's not to like?. Highly recommend a great way to spend an enjoyable couple of hours in Golden.
Its a very enjoyable, informative, and easy hike. Hondo was a wonderful guide and answered any question we had. A very worthwhile tour to get the low down on tje history of Golden Colorado!
The tour was fun and educational. Its a nice short walk around tour to do if you have a free afternoon or a little time available.
Our tour guide, Jonathan, was a wealth of knowledge about the Wild West in Golden with a great sense of humor! The two hours flew by! So many interesting facts… definitely worth it if you’re interested in the history of the Wild West!
Learned a lot and Kilian was most knowledgeable and informative. Kilian is clearly a history buff and is happy to share his expertise. Highly recommended.
We had a great time! Perfect way to spend a couple of hours in Golden. Dominique was lovely, super knowledgeable, and great with our kids.
We weren’t sure how we’d be feeling after flying in, but once we arrived in Golden, we realized we were feeling energetic enough for a tour. The operator set us up with a Wild West Short Walking Tour with Jonathan and it was terrific. He gave us so much info about the history of the area and the stories of the people who arrived to found the town. He engaged with all of us (even the not-so-excited 18 year old) and planned our stops so I could sit some with my injured knee. He also shared ideas for other places to go and eat / drink. If you’re looking for a great storyteller, Jonathan fits the bill!
We had a great afternoon touring with Dominique. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaging. She did a fabulous job of making the tour fun despite the heat and the cross section of ages in the group. We learned so much about the Golden area, its people and sights. We’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Super fun and interesting! And our Golden bandana is a great keepsake!
Jonathon was so great! I felt like I was there reliving the stories. Would absolutely recommend. The brewery’s were great too, was very impressed by how tasty the drinks were. (:
