The tour ends with a potable gift, where my group mingled. Overall, this tour is the best way to learn OTR and Cincinnati’s backstory. I highly recommend it!”

3.Denver Craft Beer Tour in Lower Downtown

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 673 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $58

Walk Denver’s Lower Downtown with a beer-focused guide such as Paul, DJ, AJ, Matt, or Steve, stopping at four breweries for more than 10 samples. You’ll taste styles from pilsners and hefeweizens to chile beer and stout, hear local history, and take home a tasting glass.

“Sara was a great guide with unbelievable background knowledge. She was interesting and got the entire group to engage (even with people we were not traveling with). Only wish that beer selections were more unique as we sampled some beers that I can buy in a grocery store in my home state. I wish we focused on beer I cannot buy at home. However, her ability to find samples for everyone was outstanding. Prior to the tour I sent a couple messages regarding inquiries on parking and never got a response (months prior and day prior). Wish whoever reviewed those would have responded to assist.”
