Tours are ordered by who they suit, and commission plays no part in that. We haven't taken every tour, so details come from each operator's listing. “See price” means the listing showed only a non-USD price when we checked. The booking site shows live prices and availability.

Pick a neighborhood

  • RiNo (River North Art District) has converted warehouses, breweries and many of the city's street murals. RiNo tours mix food with art, and one route meets on Larimer Street.
  • LoDo and Union Station make up Denver's historic core, near Coors Field and Larimer Square. Tours here cover Gold Rush history and Western food; one lists elk sausage among its tastings.
  • Downtown and 16th Street routes are shorter and central, so they fit around a conference or a ballgame.
  • Evening tours work as a progressive dinner with drinks ($135 per person on the tour we found) in place of a sit-down dinner.

How to choose

  • Five tastings usually add up to a full lunch, and the listings describe it that way, so skip the meal before.
  • On some tours alcohol pairings are an on-site add-on rather than included. Check the listing.
  • Several of the tours below are run by the same operator (Delicious Denver Food Tours) and sold on both Viator and GetYourGuide. Compare the price and cancellation terms on each before booking.
  • Tell the operator about dietary needs when you book. The stops are fixed restaurants, so swaps depend on them.

Prices (checked October 11, 2026)

The Viator RiNo food tour lists from $85; the same operator's RiNo route on GetYourGuide was $79. Downtown tours were $79-$110, and the dinner-and-drinks tour $135. Guide gratuities are included on some tours, so check “What's included.”

Tips

  • Afternoon departures (around 1 p.m.) double as lunch; evening tours replace dinner.
  • Denver sits at 5,280 feet, so pace any alcohol and drink water. Many visitors find alcohol hits harder at altitude.
  • Wear comfortable shoes. Routes are walkable, but you'll be on your feet for most of three hours.
