WALKING DISTANCE
To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 45 minutes walking but it’s not too difficult and there are no hills or stairs. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well.
FOREIGN TRANSACTION FEES
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn’t the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
BOOKING FEE REASON
The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can’t change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Highly recommend the Secret Food Tour in Denver. Our guides were knowledgeable, the foods were terrific and even though I’ve visited Denver many times, I saw things I never knew existed! It was most definitely a worthwhile afternoon.

Really neat to walk around and learn about Denver and go to restaurants for a small bite. They had historical information in addition to knowing about the restaurants and food.
