What Makes This Tour Stand Out?

This tour isn’t just about riding around; it’s about discovering Denver’s personality. The route is carefully designed to include Denver’s most recognizable spaces while offering a smooth, relaxed ride. It uses bike lanes and paths that connect you safely through the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, giving you a true feel for the place without the stress of traffic or navigation.

The inclusion of a local guide makes a significant difference. Our guide, Collin, was praised for his knowledge and friendliness, with one reviewer noting, “He knows his town and the history of it,” making the experience educational without feeling heavy. Sharing stories and insights about each stop turns a simple ride into a mini city tour.

The Itinerary: From River to Urban Landmarks

Starting from near Empower Field, the tour kicks off along the scenic South Platte River, a critical feature of Denver’s landscape. We loved the way the river’s tranquil setting contrasts with the lively city vibe, offering a peaceful backdrop for your ride. Riding along the Cherry Creek Trail, you’ll pass by some of Denver’s cultural landmarks like the Denver Performing Arts Complex and the Colorado Convention Center, showcasing the city’s vibrant arts scene and modern architecture.

Next, the tour heads into RiNO (River North Art District), where murals and street art turn each wall into a canvas. One reviewer mentioned, “Getting to see all the murals was one of my favorite parts, and the guide pointed out interesting stories behind the art.” This neighborhood blends Denver’s industrial past and its creative future, making it a must-see.

The route also takes you past Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies. From the stadium, you’ll get a sense of Denver’s love for baseball and the city’s connection to the Rockies’ home state. A quick stop at the Blue Bear statue and the DCPA’s dancers and murals offers fantastic photo opportunities and a chance to soak in Denver’s artistic energy.

Crossing into Civic Center Park, you’ll see the State Capitol building—a splendid example of neoclassical architecture—and learn about Denver’s political history. The tour wraps up at the Tivoli Building on the Auraria Campus, a historic site that’s part of Denver’s educational fabric.

What to Expect During the Tour

The entire experience is designed to be easy-going and accessible. The bikes are electric, meaning you can enjoy a leisurely pace without getting tired or overwhelmed, which is particularly helpful if you’re not an avid cyclist or if you’re traveling with an older adult or someone with minor mobility concerns.

At each of the approximately eight stops, your guide will share interesting facts and stories. You might learn about Denver’s development from a mining town to a bustling city or hear about the murals’ artists in RiNO. With small group sizes, there’s plenty of opportunity for questions and conversation, making the learning process engaging and informal.
