Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Your Denver tour will show you the transformation of Denver’s lower downtown warehouse district (LoDo) from after-thought to “THE Spot” for locals, as we walk through what was skid row, past Coors Field baseball park and into River North, arguably the fastest up-and-coming neighborhood in Denver.
Along the way, we’ll stop for an all-locally sourced lunch. The chef here forges personal relationships with each farm he works with; his team visits the farms and works in the fields with the farmers to understand exactly what goes into the food they proudly serve.
Next, you’ve got a very important decision to make: which Colorado beer will take its claim as your favorite? Don’t worry, we'll visit a local watering hole where you’ll have plenty of time and can sample from a self-serve tap that features 15 local beers, a cider, and wine.
Then it’s off to explore the creativity of the River North Arts District, where the art refuses to be confined behind closed doors. Each year, artists are given free range to turn the walls of local buildings into their canvas and the results are stunning. You’ll have plenty of time to take pictures and decide which artists to follow on Instagram as we make our way through the living canvas that is the River North Art District.
We’ll close out our Denver tour with a short ride back to where we started, on the recently opened light rail line that runs the 25 miles from downtown to Denver International Airport.
