Our trip to Denver was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre visitor tour was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Denver Museum of Nature & Science and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Meow Wolf Denver (Convergence Station) in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Union Station alone was worth the trip, but combined with Cherry Creek Trail this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
