“Barry” good tour ! - Loved our food tour with Barry ! A tour guide can make all the difference and Barry was the best. You can tell that he loves what he does. We toured five different local eateries. Barry talked about the history of Denver and of each of the restaurants that we visited. The food (and drink) that we sampled were all delicious.
The only criticism I have is that we did not get enough food. Everyone got one small piece of pizza at our first stop and one small street taco at our fourth stop. Our second stop was empanadas and it would have been nice to sample two different types of empanadas. We had the beef empanadas, which were delicious, but we also noticed they had sweet empanadas, which would have been fun to try. I have done many food tours in other cities and there was always plenty to sample.
Still, I would definitely recommend this tour.

The host Dan was the Best! - The host Dan made the experience so much fun! Being a solo attendee, I appreciated him keeping his eye on me and making sure I didn’t get lost from the group. I enjoyed the food stops. I would recommend this tour to anyone and the drink option is worth it.

A good time was had by all! - The food was good at all places, and we really appreciated the history as well. This was our first time to Denver, and we enjoyed hearing about it, both past and present. Found some areas that we would like to explore more had we had the time.

BOOK IT! - We had a wonderful afternoon with Delicious Denver Food Tours! As Denver locals, the Downtown Denver tour is a really great way to see a lot of the city - we enjoyed great food while walking past several classic Denver landmarks! We brought our visiting family on the tour and it was the highlight of the trip. Highly recommend!
