Heather was very energetic, pointed out some obvious and not-so-obvious aspects of Denver - the 1-mile marker on the Capitol steps, hauntings in hotels and government buildings, the origin of the Teddy bear. An informative and easy 2-hr. walking tour.

Our tour guide, Bill, was knowledgeable and eloquent about the history of Denver. His informative dialogue was interspersed with facts along with a goodly dose of humor! One of the best walking tours we’ve taken.
