The guide, Bill, was very personalbe, knowledgable and fun. We heard many stories about Denver's wild west past and learned about the people who infulenced Denver's growth and economy. We walked through different parts of Denver and discovered the purpose of that area of Denver. We ending at the Ballpark museum with numerous historical artifacts (seats, signs, pictures, pennants) from ballparks across the country. The Ballpark museum is a bit unorganized and the space is small. This looked more like a person's personal collection of artifacts, then a museum. The pictures of the past presidents throwing out the first pitch was interesting.
This is a Private, Walking Tour. NOTE: What makes this walking tour unique is that, in most cases, we take our guests into several locations. We limit the number of guests on each tour to 20; because of this, this tours tends to sell out quickly. This is where it all began, in 1856. This walking tour is a fun adventure through the oldest and most trendy neighborhood in Denver. You will be treated haunted stories. As a bonus, we will provide the option to enter the National Ballpark Museum, free of charge. This museum has one of the largest collections of baseball and ballpark memorabilia in the nation.
