The experience

The e-bikes do the heavy lifting on Denver's hills. Pedal assist and full throttle features let you cover ground without exhaustion, so the route can take in ten stops across the city. The guide starts with safety tips and how to use the bike, then leads you through Denver Walls (one of the city's most famous mural alleyways) before stopping at Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, to learn how the stadium was built and what it meant for Denver. You'll stop in front of the historic train station, then ride into Larimer Square, Denver's oldest block, where the guide walks through the city's founding and early settlement.

The route takes you to the Colorado State Capitol to see the golden dome and understand why Denver earned the nickname "Mile High City," then bikes through Capitol Hill to see the turn-of-the-century brownstone mansions and hear about Molly Brown, Denver's most famous historic citizen, her part in the Titanic story and her influence on the city's political and social life. Cheesman Park, said to be the country's second most haunted park, comes next. As you ride through its green open space, the guide tells the best-known ghost story in the Denver area. The tour finishes in the RiNo Art district, where the annual Denver Walls festival has spread 86 murals across six back alleyways. You walk through them to see some of the best-loved pieces. The guide knows these neighborhoods in detail: they've spent months talking to local businesses, sampling microbreweries and coffee shops, and investigating Denver's day and nightlife scenes to give real recommendations.

You get bottled water throughout, a helmet, and the e-bike itself. Moderate physical fitness is recommended, though the pedal assist handles the effort that would normally come from climbing Denver's hills.

What’s included

• Bottled water throughout the tour.
• use of a pedal-assist e-bike with full throttle capability.
