    Too long and theatrical

    Too long. Only walked about 10 blocks (or less) total. Too much detailed talking. Wouldn’t call this a pub crawl - more like a history lesson. A few interesting stories but too much!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your honest review. We can't improve without honest feedback, and I'm really sorry you didn't enjoy the tour. My goal is to bring the history to life in an entertaining fashion, and this response tells me I have the wrong people at the helm. I'm so sorry you didn't have a good time, and if you can ever make it back I'll love to make it up to you, but thank you for sharing your experience so I can fix this for future patrons.

    Find something else to do

    Honestly Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable (or appeared to be) but the whole experience was not as advertised (at least in our expectations). This would have been much more tolerable if it had been half as long. We have been on a few pub/history tours in the past and this fell significantly below expectations. I honestly cannot believe someone can talk that long with no interaction. It felt like we were in a middle school social studies class with no escape. While the facts (or maybe not?) were interesting for a while the intricate details were totally unnecessary and exhausting. While we appreciated Jonathans extensive descriptions it was just completely over the top; we literally felt hostage. I cannot begin to explain how this experience could have been better - it just needs a total reimagination.

    Response from the operator: I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy the tour. I created the route to be informative but at the core entertaining, and I'm disappointed to hear that Jonathan deliver on both. Thank your for your honest review, and this is something I'll be resolving ASAP.

    Wild West Pub Crawl: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Denver.

    How much does Wild West Pub Crawl cost?

    +

    Prices start at $61 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Denver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Wild West Pub Crawl take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Denver is not rushed.

    Is Wild West Pub Crawl worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Denver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Wild West Pub Crawl?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Wild West Pub Crawl suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wild West Pub Crawl?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Denver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Denver and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wild West Pub Crawl start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Denver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Denver?

    +

    Denver is a launch pad. Rocky Mountain National Park, Pikes Peak, Red Rocks and the Georgetown rail loop all run as day trips, and altitude makes the timing of your first hike matter. In town: brewery crawls, Union Station food walks and Red Rocks show nights. We rank mountain operators on van size, pace and whether they build in altitude acclimatisation. On Outty we rank every Denver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Twilight Ghost Tour, 2 Hour LoDo Historic Walking Tour in Denver, Downtown Denver Food Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Denver?

    +

    June to September for open mountain passes, or December to March for ski shuttles. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Denver?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Wild West Pub Crawl?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; and A Golden Bandana. Not included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Wild West Pub Crawl?

    +

    Your tour guide will meet you at the main entrance to Golden City Brewery, or the host or bartender will point you to the nearest storytelling cowboy! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Wild West Pub Crawl offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Wild West Pub Crawl?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Wild West Pub Crawl wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
