Dean is an excellent storyteller, and I found that the time flew by.... read more He was mindful of safety as we crossed the street (it was dark) and engaged us in conversation as we walked. This was a great way to explore Aspen's downtown with a very knowledgeable local and learn more about the history of the town.

  We're a family of four with two teen/tween kids who were *not* thrilled with the idea of a walking tour. Dean did a great job of keeping their interest and... read more covering a variety of topics from history to architecture to the local economy and much more (even some ghost stories) that gave the adults what we were hoping to learn in an hour overview. We asked a ton of other questions, and he was great at covering everything we wanted to know. Overall, the whole family enjoyed it.

  A look at the people who built many of the buildings which still form a large part of Aspen’s downtown area today. - Interesting, easy walk around Aspen.
It turned out there was just me and my friend for the morning’s tour so we probably didn’t need the full 90 mins but... read more we were able to ask our own questions and look inside the fire station at the photographs and memorabilia there which was very interesting.
Otherwise good stories about some of the first miners and investors in what became the city of Aspen.
