Available languages: English   Denver Walking Tours (DWT) was founded by Jill and Matt Collins. Jill (a Sconie) and Matt (a Kiwi) met while both living in Sydney, Australia about twelve years ago, and spent the next decade traveling around the world (and taking part in many grat walking tours!) whenever they had the chance around their full-time jobs. Together they launched Denver Walking Tours as a tour guide cooperative, offering high-quality, entertaining, free and paid walking daily tours as a way to have some fun, work with great people, and show off the great city of Denver to both people from all over the world and locals!  Jill and Matt live in downtown Denver, love the city, and only wished there was a free walking tour available back when they moved to beautiful Colorado.  They've surrounded themselves with a team of guides who are just as passionate and knowledgeable about Denver and the unique history, architecture, and landmarks that make Denver their home. Working with Jill and Matt is a team of twelve guides. Professional, charismatic, and dynamic - we couldn't be happier with the job they do. Our guides are a mix of professionals - tour guides, comedians, actors, history buffs, teachers, storytellers, and world travelers. With the DWT's team you get energy, enthusiasm, wit and wisdom!  We're also great at giving local recommendations to the city we love - restaurants, shows, sites, attractions - we've got you covered!
