Overview

We'll begin right in the middle of Denver's historic Ballpark District, home to Coors Field and the Colorado Rockies.
First up, you'll dig into a gourmet smoked sausage made with locally-sourced elk, a favorite of the late Anthony Bourdain.
Next, you'll learn what exactly green chili is and why we put it on pretty much everything!
As we make our way into Lower Downtown (aka "LoDo"), you'll hear how wild the Wild West really was and see what remains of our classiest bordello.
Did you know that Denver was recently named the top pizza city in America? At our next stop, you'll discover an innovative slice!
After which, you'll explore local architectural icons like the Ice House, Union Station, and the Oxford Hotel as you stroll through the oldest part of The Mile High City.
We'll treat you to a sweet finish with a traditional cannoli filled with creamy ricotta cheese and pistachios.
As with all our tours, there's also our secret dish, revealed only on the day of your tour.
