Q&A
A: Yes, kids are welcome on the food tour! It’s a great way to introduce them to different foods and the history of the area. Just check with the tour guide if you’re bringing very young ones, as some spots may not be as accommodating for strollers. Most families bring kids aged 8 and up, and they usually have a blast.
A: The tour runs rain or shine! If the weather is looking bad, they’ll provide umbrellas and some covered spots on the tour. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes because the mall can get slippery. It’s still a fun experience, and the food is totally worth it!
A: The tour typically lasts about 2-3 hours, depending on the group size and stops. It does involve a decent amount of walking, but it’s pretty leisurely with lots of stops for tastings and stories. If you're comfortable walking a mile or so at a relaxed pace, you should be fine!

Just did the Denver Food Tour - a must for foodies!
I recently went on the Denver Downtown 16th Street Food Tour, and wow, it was fantastic! The bison chili was like nothing I've ever tasted, and the duck bao was incredible. Plus, our guide shared so much cool history about the mall. It’s perfect for anyone who loves trying local eats while learning about the city. Highly recommend it for a gift or just a fun day out!
Thinking of gifting the food tour but not sure if it’s worth it?
I’m considering getting this food tour for my sister’s birthday. She’s a big foodie, but I’m worried it might not be enough food or too touristy. Has anyone done it? Any real opinions?
