We list tours by fit, not by commission. We haven't taken every tour; details come from each operator's listing. “See price” means the listing showed only a non-USD price when we checked. Click through for live prices and availability.

Pick a neighborhood

  • RiNo (River North Art District): converted warehouses, breweries and some of the city's best street murals. RiNo tours mix food with art, and one popular route meets on Larimer Street.
  • LoDo and Union Station: Denver's historic core, near Coors Field and Larimer Square. These tours lean into Gold Rush history and Western flavors; one lists elk sausage among its tastings.
  • Downtown / 16th Street: shorter, central routes that are easy to fit around a conference or a ballgame.
  • Evening tours: a progressive dinner with drinks ($135 per person on the tour we found) replaces a sit-down dinner.

How to choose

  • Come hungry: five tastings usually add up to a full lunch, and the listings describe it that way.
  • Drinks: on some tours alcohol pairings are an on-site add-on rather than included. Check the listing.
  • Same tour, different platforms: 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.
  • Dietary needs: tell the operator when you book; 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. Altitude amplifies drinks for many visitors.
  • Wear comfortable shoes. Routes are walkable, but you'll be on your feet for most of three hours.
