This room was awesome! There were 4 of us that did the new Blackbeard’s Brig room back on April 11th and we LOVED it!! Our host Stephanie was amazing and made our experience even more enjoyable!! I’m all about anything pirate themed, so this room made my heart happy. We made it out with only a few minutes left and it was exhilarating! Lol Can’t wait to go back and try our skills in another room!!

This tour blends adventure and education. Children and adults will enjoy hiking St. Mary's Glacier. This is a high altitude (over 10,000ft.) semipermanent snow field located an hour from Denver. Amazingly, on a hot summer day you will find people skiing and sledding the glacier while others are cliff jumping into the frigid lake. You may want to bring your bathing suit and attempt a dip into the icy lake water! Dipping into the ice cold water not for you! Then just enjoy the scenery while you bask in the sun and enjoy an early morning picnic lunch. After lunch it's time to stimulate the cerebral cortex! We will hike back down to the van and drive to the Phoenix Gold Mine. A local expert will guide you through the mine, teach you how to pan for gold, and provide the tools you need to test your own luck at finding gold. If the weather is in our favor, you will practice your new skills in the river.

Inclusions: Picnic lunch will be provided. If you have dietary restrictions please let us know. If you have allergies we recommend you bring along your lunch. There is nowhere to purchase food at the glacier., Two bottles of water will be provided.

Exclusions: Tips are not included

What's LoDo? I’m happy you asked! Lower Downtown or as we call it - LoDo is Denver’s oldest neighborhood which is home to some of the best restaurants and attractions in Denver. On this 1.5 hour walking tour your savvy local guide will share fascinating history and point out local hot spots (where to eat and drink). We walk about 1.5 miles where we bring to life the past, present, and future of our beloved city. This tour is perfect for those who have limited time and a busy schedule. At the end of the tour you will feel more like a local and less like a tourist! We begin the tour by discussing the iconic Union Station and its significance to the survival of Denver as a city. Over the next hour and a half we walk a loop around LoDo where we share stories of Hop Alley (Denver’s first Chinatown), visit Mattie Silks House of Mirrors (the most famous bordello of its time), visit the oldest operating hotel in Denver, and learn about the underground tunnel system that runs beneath the city.

Inclusions: Savvy local guide, Small-group walking tour

This tour was literally the best part of my day! I also had the pleasure of doing both Will's Whiskey, History and Outlaws tour along with his wife Rachel's, 1.5 LoDo Walking Tour. To no surprise Will was equally as AMAZING as his wife! He not only knew a great deal about the city and its history, but he could tell you based on your favorite cocktail the best bar to find it at! Who does that?! Being quite the lover of libations as I am, I greatly appreciated that! My friend and I also asked about a great karaoke spot to visit that evening and even though he didn't know the name of the establishment off hand he went out of his way to get in touch with us after the tour to relay the information. A stand up guy! Don't sleep on this tour!

The Foothills Explorer Tour with Braelei was awesome!! She was a walking wealth of knowledge. Her educational background combined with her life experiences made the tour highly interesting. She knew the history regarding every site we visited. We also recognized how passionate she was when encountering the wildlife. The drive in between visiting landmarks was full of fun. I appreciated the way she captured everyone's attention. Her delivery was also on point. We learned so much during the short 4 hour tour. I could have definitely spent the entire day touring with Braelei. I'm looking forward to visiting Denver and booking another tour/s with her. After spending half a day with her, I realized that we had a similar interests as far as outdoor activities but yet also so different. It should be a requirement to tour with Braelei when visiting Denver. I appreciated every single thing about her especially her personality. My favorite tour guide of all time. She has set that bar on another level. THANK YOU Braelei!!!
