Experience Downtown Denver. This jam packed tour will take you from the historic Union Station, through LoDo, up the 16th Street Mall around the Capital, through the DAM, down the bike path and drinking a beer at My Brother's Bar within eight hours. Originally conceived for guests visiting from France, this tour is full Americana and random history.
Jason's Downtown Denver Tour
If you are meeting someone, there isn’t better starting spot, than Union Station. I recommend starting between 9-10AM.
The Union Depot and Railroad Company built the city’s first Union Station. It cost $525,000 and opened on June 1, 1881. Up until 1958, Denver Union Station had more travelers than Stapleton Airport.
