Spring is here in Denver, and while I know- I just know that there’s going to be another blizzard before June, it’s the season to hit the trails and take in the Sun! For this post, we’ll be taking a look at some of the more interesting Denver tours- why not take in some culture while you get your steps and vitamin D for the day?
Capitol Hill Walking Tour
Denver is an old city that takes pride in its eccentric and strange history. I can’t reference this enough- Denver locals ran out the city’s first mayor when he was ousted as a Confederate in favor of secession during the Civil War. Wouldn’t you like to learn more about the city’s history, and from someone who (unlike me) is actually qualified to teach it to you?
The Capitol Hill Walking Tour is my recommendation for those so inclined. It starts at the city’s most darling showcase of pluck, the Molly Brown House Museum, which is worth the effort alone. Then, the tour continues through the area’s old homes, showcasing the abodes of “Senators, heiresses, and captains of industry…” If those senators are anything like Denver’s first mayor, I’m sure there’s a bevy of anecdotes throughout the tour.
Twilight Ghost Tour

Even though you won’t be enjoying the Sun on this outing, I would be remiss not to include a ghost tour- as I’ve said, Denver’s long history also includes a number of sordid stories that are ripe for spinning as tales of the macabre. The Twilight Ghost Tour stands out, as it starts at the Crawford Hill Mansion, the estate of the late Louise Sneed Hill… The so-called “nemesis” of old Molly Brown. This tour also gets an award for fitting many attractions in it- by my count, you walk by 11 establishments! Even if you care little for the mortally deprived, this walking tour passes by restaurants, inns, and even the Marijuana Mansion, which I’ll leave to you to investigate, if you’re so inclined…
Ice Creams of Denver Tours
For those less inclined to care for the stories of the dead, what better way to stir up their ire than enjoying a nice ice cream cone where they once stood? Denver is home to plenty of food tours, but on a warm day in Spring, I’d rather place my attention on frozen treats. While this one is advertised as a self-guided walk, this list of ice creameries spans the entire center of Denver… You may want to keep this handy as a reference when you try other tours out. I can tell you one of these shops may not be entirely what it seems. Look for a freezer door, and you may happen across one of Denver’s hidden speakeasies…
Brews and Views – Denver Tours

When you’ve taken just about enough of the city, how about you try the Brews and Views tour out in scenic Golden? This tour focuses on Golden’s brewing industry, but more interestingly, it also showcases Golden’s great scenic views of the nearby mountains. You can take a look for yourself by checking the link- previous travelers posted their photos, and they look great!
Finally, when your feet get tired, how about stopping by our escape room? We have chairs and air conditioning! c:
We had an amazing time at the Speakeasy escape room! The whole experience was fun, immersive, and really well put together. We were walk-ins and were pleasantly surprised to get in right away—no wait at all. Our Game Master, Sean, was incredibly helpful and outgoing—he struck the perfect balance of giving us support when we needed it without spoiling the fun. The rest of the staff were just as friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even better. If you’re looking for a challenging and entertaining escape room experience, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience! Dakota and company couldn't have been any nicer and accomodating! We did the Vampire Hunter Room and we absolutely loved it; it was challenging as well as entertaining. We would definitely recommend. Also, besides being a phenomenal Game Master, Dakota presented us with options of things to do in Denver AFTER our Escape Room experience (we were in town as 1st time tourists). Thank you for being so helpful!

We did the vampire room and it was super challenging but very fun and thematic! Dakota was such a great game master, super funny and knew just when to drop hints when we were stuck! I highly recommend anyone check this place out in Denver if they get the chance. You won't regret it!

One of the best escape room experiences I’ve had. We played “Vampire Hunter” and it was an immersive experience with a variety of really good puzzles. Zeke, our Game Master, was fantastic and set the perfect tone for a very enjoyable time!

Super fun! We stopped by during a quick trip to Denver. We do a lot of escape rooms and I can say that this one was high quality!
Cooper & Dakota were great game masters, combining humor and straightforwardness in explaining the rules.
We played the Black Beard’s Brig room and loved it- unique clues, cool props, and interactive for all members in our group.
We’ll definitely try to go back if we ever find ourselves in Denver again.

We went for my sisters bachelorette and it was amazing. The room was decorated so well. We did the ancient Egypt room and the fact that the room had real sand on the floor was mind blowing. Harmony was also such an amazing game master. She was entertaining, she played her role well, and she knew when to give us a nudge in the direction. I will absolutely recommend Escape Works and Harmony to everyone looking for an escape room experience.
