LAURA was very knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend the tour as a means of becoming familiar with all the area around Union Station has to offer as well as the history of prohibition in Denver, and being introduced to new cocktails.

Our guide was amazing - animated and truly loves her ghosts. We did fact check some of the stories, history tells another story on the Espinosa clan.

Had a great time with the tour and enjoyed the stories our guide told. We had a fun group and covered a good amount of ground. Would do another.

Really informative and guide really knew the history of the drinks in Denver.

Hunter was awesome! Good tour would highly recommend
