What you'll do
On our Secret Food Tour: Denver - Downtown, you'll enjoy a variety of classic local foods.
Our experienced guides will take you on a culinary adventure along the historic streets made famous by prospectors, miners, and early American entrepreneurs during the Colorado Gold Rush. On your journey, you'll hear thrilling tales of confidence men, saloon girls, and bank robbers while sampling mouthwatering local specialties that pay tribute to both our proud past as well as our thriving modern food scene. Today, Denver is one of the fastest growing cities in America, and we cannot wait to share with you the incredibly rich and ethnically diverse culinary world that awaits in The Mile High City.
Food will be served with water when available. Or if you prefer, a thoughtfully curated Upgraded Drinks Package is available for purchase.
- We'll begin right in the middle of Denver's historic Ballpark District, home to Coors Field and the Colorado Rockies.
- First up, you'll dig into a gourmet smoked sausage made with locally-sourced elk, a favorite of the late Anthony Bourdain.
- Next, you'll learn what exactly green chili is and why we put it on pretty much everything!
- As we make our way into Lower Downtown (aka "LoDo"), you'll hear how wild the Wild West really was and see what remains of our classiest bordello.
- Did you know that Denver was recently named the top pizza city in America? At our next stop, you'll discover an innovative slice inspired by America's favorite hamburger!
- After which, you'll explore local architectural icons like the Ice House, Union Station, and the Oxford Hotel as you stroll through the oldest part of The Mile High City.

Due to the nature of creating a well-balanced and thoughtful gastronomy experience, many of our tours are unable to accommodate children. Please contact us at [email protected] prior to booking your tour to see if we are able to accommodate your family.
I don't drink alcohol. Can I book your tour?
This is not a problem, we have different options. Just inform our guide before the tour starts.
Is there enough food during your tour?
Think of the tour as a tasting menu. As we travel you get many delicious treats that comprise a meal with dessert. But there is a lot of food, you will not be hungry after the tour.
Where do I add my discount voucher?
I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?
Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do. We cannot promise but we will try our best to sort something out for you.
Is there a lot of walking?
To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 45 minutes walking but it's not too difficult and there are no hills or stairs. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well.
How many people max are on this tour?
We take 12 people maximum. If you are more than 12 people, please do not hesitate to email us and will try to see if we can accommodate.
I cannot find a way to print the confirmation. Is it OK if I have it on my phone?
You do not have to print your voucher. A confirmation on your phone will be fine!
If I purchase a voucher as a gift, or am given a voucher how long is it valid for?
All of our vouchers expire one year from the date of purchase.
Can I choose my own cheese and meat?
Our guide will take care of everything. Should you wish to try something special, please inform our guide and they will do their best to make you happy.
Where does your food come from?
The food and drinks are top-quality, fresh and local!
What if it rains or I change my plans?
Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel and we cannot run the tour due to extreme weather for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/
Can I pay the tour in cash?
You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.
Why do we need to pay for booking fee?
The booking fee that you have to pay is to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
Foreign Transaction Fees
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us your bank statement and we will refund as a gesture of good will.
