I'm the facilitator for the Cultural Center tour. We have three guides, so I lead that tour every 3rd Saturday. My next tour is June 5.
Do you buy tickets for specific dates or call ahead to reserve or ???

The Saturday, June 19th tour is sold out for the Auto Heritage tour...
Hey Novine, they are good for any of the tours that Kathleen listed, at any time they are offered until the end of this season. No limit of how many, the only small print is that you must RSVP 24-hours in advance of the tour [[so the guides know how many people to expect and can staff accordingly).Quote:

Holy cow, they're up to 650 groupons- 1300 people!
Another note about the Cultural Center tour:
Kathleen said it's one of the most underrated tours they have. A lot of people shy away from it because they think, "hey, I know where the DIA is," but I hear it's so much more interesting than that. There's so much history on Ferry Ave, other areas in the CC, and tons of untold stories. She told me that once people take it, they are totally blown away and tell everyone they know.
Cultural Center is next on my list!
