About the Company

Will and Rachel here! Thanks for stopping by and we can't wait to meet you.

Being a “native” means we have seen Denver grow over the years, but it also means we know the best spots to explore. Denver Local Tours was formed through our genuine love for the city and our desire to create unforgettable experiences for visitors and locals alike.  With over 20 years of combined hotel and restaurant management experience— we know the city inside and out. 

We LOVE our city and we are committed to creating community-driven experiences where you know that by eating at a local restaurant, drinking at a local bar, and shopping local you are not only supporting our community— you are now part of our community.

We've partnered with some great organizations around Denver. If you are looking to have a greater impact please take a look at our partner page. We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities here in the Mile High City.

About the Owner

Born and raised here in Denver—I am your typical Colorado Girl. I love everything outdoors from hiking 14ers, to backpacking and of course snowboarding! My favorite thing about being a guide is meeting people from all over the world and showing off my beautiful city. 

FUN FACT:

I love alpacas! 

FAVORITE WATERING HOLE:

Don's Mixed Drinks and the Cruise Room inside the Oxford Hotel. 

BEST BREAKFAST:

Denver Biscuit Company — hands down my favorite breakfast in Denver!

MUST DO/SEE IN DENVER

Visit Red Rocks Amphitheater! To see your favorite band play at Red Rocks is a once in a lifetime experience. I personally love to go for a day trip and hike around.
