What areas of town will we visit on this tour?

You’ll explore some of Denver’s most iconic downtown neighborhoods: Lower Downtown (LoDo), the Dairy Block, and Union Station. As you walk between stops, your guide will share stories about each area — from LoDo’s historic warehouses and revitalized streets, to the beautifully restored Union Station, now one of the city’s main gathering places. It’s a great way to experience Denver’s past and present while tasting your way through it.

How much walking is there on this tour?

This tour includes just a few blocks of light, leisurely walking spread out over 2.5 hours. The route is flat and broken into short segments between stops, and all tastings are seated indoors so you can relax and enjoy each course in comfort.

How much food is served?

This tour includes six tastings, three paired alcoholic beverages, and dessert at award-winning, locally owned restaurants. It’s designed to be a full, satisfying meal with plenty of variety so there’s truly something for everyone. You can see photos of all current tastings above and explore links to our partner restaurants below to get a feel for what’s included.

Where do dinner tours this meet?
At the Crawford Hotel desk inside Union Station – 1701 Wynkoop Street.
Where does the tour end?

Just one block from the meeting place, at the Denver Milk Market – 1800 Wazee Street.

Where should guests park?

Since this tour includes multiple alcoholic drinks, we recommend taking a Lyft or Uber so you can sip and stroll safely.

If you do plan to drive, here are two solid options near Union Station:

What happens if it rains or snows on our tour day?

All tastings on this tour are seated indoors, so we run year-round in rain, snow, or shine. Just dress for the weather, as there are short, easy walks between each stop.

If truly extreme conditions occur — like hail or a major snowstorm — we may cancel for safety and offer you the choice to move to another day or receive a full refund.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Denver Downtown Food Tour, and I can honestly say it was an absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end! If you’re looking for a fun, unique, and delicious way to explore downtown Denver, I cannot recommend this tour enough. It exceeded my expectations in every possible way, and a huge part of that was thanks to our fantastic guide, Barry. Barry was truly outstanding. From the moment the tour started, he made everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and excited about what was ahead. His personality, enthusiasm, and knowledge made the entire experience that much more enjoyable. He clearly has a passion for Denver, its food scene, and sharing the city’s history and culture with others. He wasn’t just taking us from one restaurant to another; he was creating an experience that made the entire afternoon memorable. The food was absolutely incredible! Every stop offered something different, and it was a great opportunity to experience the variety and quality of restaurants that downtown Denver has to offer. It was fun getting to try different dishes, discover places I might not have visited otherwise, and learn more about the local food scene along the way. There was a great balance of delicious food, interesting stories, and entertaining conversation throughout the tour. What really made the experience special was how Barry brought everything together. His knowledge, humor, and ability to engage with everyone made the tour feel less like a scheduled activity and more like spending an afternoon exploring the city with a friend who knows all the best spots. He made sure everyone was having a great time and never made anything feel rushed or impersonal. I also appreciated how much we learned about Denver along the way. The tour offered more than just great food. It gave us a better appreciation for the downtown area, its restaurants, and the character of the city itself. Overall, the Denver Downtown Food Tour was one of the highlights of my time in Denver. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was great, and Barry was an exceptional guide who genuinely made the experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting Denver or even if you’re a local looking to experience your city in a new way, do yourself a favor and book this tour. And if you get Barry as your guide, you’re in for an especially great time! Five stars all the way! Amazing food, amazing experience, and an even more amazing guide. Thanks, Barry, for making it such a memorable experience!
