Tweet did wonders to the house, no castle; and it was a castle. Original artwork, beautiful furniture, and lots of stories. It's so amazing!

I really liked all the savory sandwiches. The curry chicken salad sandwich really stood out, though the cucumber and turkey sandwiches were both tasty as well. Really amazing location for tea time, we had the options for lavender earl gray, mandarin orange and spiced chai tea. All amazing but I would always gravitate towards earl gray. Definitely recommend to give them a try if you're into afternoon tea time. I liked it better than the Brown Palace.

My family and I recently visited Denver and booked the 2-Hour LoDo Historic Walking Tour. What a…read morefun experience! Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and a wonderful storyteller. We learned so much about Denver's history, how the city has evolved over the years, and the stories behind many of its historic buildings and landmarks. The tour also helped us discover several places we wanted to return to and explore in more depth. The meeting location was easy to find, and we were each given an audio headset so we could hear our guide clearly throughout the tour--a thoughtful touch that made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great introduction to Denver, I highly recommend this tour.

I really enjoyed learning about the area's history and recent revitalization. I love it when cities can repurpose old buildings rather than tear them down. The tour started and ended at the train station which is an impressive building and is nicely air conditioned which helped us cool down at the end of the tour. The earbuds made it easy to hear throughout the tour even when there was traffic noise. Definitely bring plenty of water if it's hot out; there is shade which helps, but it is a walking tour so be prepared to be outside for the majority of the time. I was very happy I was wearing my sun hat. This was a fun activity and it was great to learn about the area of Denver where we were staying.

Definitely bring sunscreen for the second tour, as you will be sitting outside in the sun for a little bit. It's cool and refreshing inside the mines, and they're full of history, right down to the wooden shafts that still have numbers painted on them from the miners of 1800s. You will learn about mining history and how harrowing and challenging it was, and see the actual tools they used, and how techniques developed over time. You will see shafts and tunnels you cannot explore but remain from days of old that inspire the imagination. You will also hear some silly ghost stories, and even see how UV light illuminates the rocks and minerals in the mines. Interested in history, gold, geology, or mining? Even if you aren't, take this tour anyway! It's well worth it, and the guides do a great job.

Our tour guide, Jayce, added to the vibe of the spooky evening; he was SO into it... incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the tales as well as the history; his storytelling sent chills down my spine as we walked from mansion to mansion.

I brought my whole family and it was enjoyable for all ages from 12 to 77- There is a bit of walking and standing but some chances to sit down. Totally more interesting than walking around the area without information. The fun part (all of it is fun) was going inside Union Station and hearing the history that has been glossed over by historians trying to attract visitors to Denver. As the tour progresses, it gets better and better. By the time we exited Union Station, it was dark and the area was lit up with people enjoying the beautiful evening- you see pedicabs and bicycles, lit buildings and a fountain with lights in addition to the story weaver guide. This is the authentic tour to take.

The one exception was the Chinatown massacre; but there was a meaningful historical omission: how local white-owned businesses and residents hid and protected over 100 Chinese people during that riot. The entire narration was full of Marxist-ish moral evaluations that were truly eyerolling. The real facts of Denver history in its full context (and, yes, the fun and eerie ghostly aftermath) are fascinating on their own. Falsehoods and innuendo are actually quite boring.

It was the perfect way to celebrate spooky season because of the following reasons: ++ After seeing the hype on Facebook, my parents purchased the tickets via their website for a mere $15/person! Once we provided our online receipt, we were given paper tickets with various coupons for discounts at local downtown spots to enjoy after our tour! Good up to a month after too! ++ Staff was beyond friendly and 100% in character! Each host was dressed in historic wear, and guided us to various spots within the town that boasted a scary story. At each stop, another staff member was dressed in notable clothing, provided us the background on the specific building/infamous person who was murdered/ect..! Everyone did a great job in creating the best type of spooky environment while properly social distancing/wearing masks. ++ What a great and fun way to explore downtown Littleton! Having frequented the area a lot, I had yet to experience this type of tour, which was totally fun and a great way to kick off the holiday weekend! We stopped at about 6 different places, of which had a story. It was a totally unique way to hear about local history! ++ At just over an hour, the tour itself was the perfect amount of time, which allowed for drinks and dinner afterwards! I can't wait to go next year!

Rick and David were awesome and very knowledgeable guides! They made us feel welcome and really owned the Brunch tour while providing great customer service. They promoted fun and helped connect all of the guests on the bus... after 15 minutes, we no longer felt like strangers. If you are considering the Brunch Bus or have just stumbled upon this review by chance, I would say don't hesitate - the Brunch Bus is even more fun than it sounds in the description and you will be happy you did it :) Note: We are Denver locals and had been to most of the places on the tour and STILL enjoyed it and learned a lot about the restaurants and bars we went to - Especially loved Mile High Spirits!

Her knowledge is great and she engaged with everyone in our group. In every aspect of the tour she exhibited professionalism and positive energy. The tour is not physically demanding.
