Q: Who Books Our Private Denver Bus Tours?

Private Denver bus tours are not one-size-fits-all — they are booked by a wide range of groups for very different reasons. Below are some of the many types of groups we work with most often and why the private format works so well for each.

 

Q: How much does a private Denver bus tour cost?

Private Denver bus tours with Discover Denver are priced per group, not per person — meaning the price you see is the total cost for your entire group regardless of how many guests attend, up to the maximum of 14. Pricing is based on tour duration and group size. For groups of 1–7 guests: a 1-hour tour is $285, a 2-hour tour is $485, a 3-hour tour is $718, and a 4-hour tour is $960. For groups of 8–14 guests: a 1-hour tour is $335, a 2-hour tour is $588, a 3-hour tour is $880, and a 4-hour tour is $1,176. To put that in perspective, a 2-hour private Denver bus tour for a group of 7 works out to approximately $69 per person — a competitive price point for a fully private guided experience in a climate-controlled shuttle with a local expert guide. The most popular options are the 2-hour and 3-hour tours. Pricing does not include 8.81% in booking platform fees or gratuity (optional), which guests may choose to give their guide and driver at the end of the tour. Groups of more than 14 guests should email info@discoverdenvertours.com for a custom quote. Step-on guide services and youth tour pricing differ from the above and are published on their respective pages.

 

Q: What private group bus tours are available in Denver?

Discover Denver offers six private bus tour experiences and custom bus tours for groups in Denver, all bookable exclusively for your group with no other guests on the bus.

• The Private Discover Denver Bus Tour is the most popular option — available in 2, 3, or 4-hour versions covering downtown Denver and LoDo's most iconic landmarks, history, architecture, and hidden stories.

• The Private Ghost Tour takes groups through Denver's most haunted neighbourhood, including Cheesman Park and the Capitol Hill mansions that inspired two Hollywood horror classics.

• The Private Street Art and Graffiti Tour explores the RiNo Art District by shuttle, covering Denver's most celebrated murals and the stories behind the artists.

• The Custom Denver Tour is a fully bespoke experience where your group chooses the focus — food, history, architecture, hidden gems, or any combination — and the itinerary is built around your interests.

• Private Discovery Tours are three unique 1-hour options starting at $285 for groups of 1–7, ideal for conference attendees, hotel guests, or groups with limited time.

• Private Youth Tours and Field Trips serve school groups, scout troops, and community organizations for ages 6–18, with curriculum connections built into every route.

• All six private tour options are available daily year-round, depart from Union Station or a custom location by arrangement, and include a local expert guide.

 

Q: Can I book a private Denver corproate tour bus?

Yes — corporate groups and team outings are one of the most frequent bookers of private Denver bus tours, and the format is purpose-built for the needs of a business group. Your entire team travels together in a climate-controlled 14-passenger shuttle with a local guide who customizes the commentary to your group — no splitting up, no coordinating Ubers, no one getting lost.

 

Corporate groups most commonly book private Denver bus tours for three reasons:

• Orienting out-of-town conference attendees to the city on arrival day

• Creating a shared team-building experience for remote or distributed teams meeting in Denver

• Providing client entertainment that goes beyond a standard dinner reservation.

 

Private tours can be customized to focus on Denver history and architecture, the RiNo Art District and creative economy, the food and drink culture of LoDo and the Highlands, or any combination your group prefers.

 

For corporate groups arriving in their own charter bus or limo, step-on guide services are also available — a local Discover Denver expert boards your vehicle and provides live narrated commentary for the duration of your Denver itinerary, with no need to transfer to a separate bus - see our Step-On Guide Services page for details.

Q: Can I book Private Denver Bus Tours for Families?
A private family bus tour of Denver is the most stress-free way to introduce multiple generations to the city — no waiting in public tour lines, no adjusting to a stranger group's pace, and a guide who can tailor the storytelling to the ages in your group.

 

Private family tours are available for guests ages 6 and up, with guides experienced at making Denver's history, architecture, and hidden stories genuinely engaging for younger guests alongside adults. The most popular family option is the Private Discover Denver Bus Tour, which covers 19+ downtown landmarks including the Colorado State Capitol Mile High Steps, Coors Field, the Molly Brown House, and the U.S. Mint — all with the kind of surprising, funny, and age-appropriate stories that keep kids paying attention. Families with children under 6 should note that Colorado state regulations require every guest to have their own seat and seatbelt — lap children are not permitted on the bus.

 

For families with very young children, our private walking tours found here are a more flexible alternative with no minimum age requirement. Private family tours can be booked online for standard departure times or customized via email for groups with specific scheduling needs.

​

Q: Can I book Private Denver Bus Tours for Special Occasions?

Beyond corporate groups, bachelorette parties, and families, private Denver bus tours are a popular choice for birthday celebrations of all ages, anniversary outings, reunion groups, graduation celebrations, wedding day transportation and sightseeing for wedding parties, and any occasion where a group wants a shared Denver experience that is more personal and memorable than a standard public tour. If your occasion does not fit neatly into one of the categories above, that's okay! Email our team at info@discoverdenvertours.com — we have built custom itineraries for everything from proposals to retirement parties, and we are happy to help design something that fits your group perfectly.

 

Q: Can I book a private Denver bus tour for a bachelorette party?

Yes — private Denver bus tours are one of the most popular bachelorette party activities in Denver, and Discover Denver Tours accommodates bachelorette groups regularly, with Custom Tours being especially popular. The private bus format means your group has the entire 14-passenger climate-controlled shuttle exclusively to yourselves, with a local expert guide who tailors the commentary and energy to your group. The other most popular bachelorette options are the Private Discover Denver Bus Tour (2 or 3 hours through downtown Denver and LoDo) and the Sights, Sips, Stories & Sweets Tour — a private bus experience that includes three craft beer tastings at a RiNo brewery and a scoop of Little Man Ice Cream, all included in the price.

 

For bachelorette groups who want a spookier evening, the Private Ghost Tour of Denver's most haunted sites is available year-round including outside of the regular public tour season. Custom itineraries — including hotel pickup, specific neighborhood requests, and themed commentary — can be arranged by contacting the team at info@discoverdenvertours.com.

 

Groups of up to 14 guests are accommodated on a single bus. For larger bachelorette parties, email the team for multi-bus options and custom quotes.

 

Q: What is included in a private Denver bus tour?

Every private Denver bus tour with Discover Denver includes exclusive use of a climate-controlled 14-passenger shuttle bus for your group — no other guests share your vehicle — plus a local guide who share fun stories tailored to your group throughout the tour. Also included: round-trip transportation from Union Station (or a custom meeting location by arrangement), reserved seating for all guests, your guide's insider knowledge and local recommendations for the rest of your Denver trip, and the flexibility to ask questions and interact with your guide throughout the experience. Photo stops are included on most private tour routes.

 

What is not included: gratuity for your guide and driver (at guests' discretion), food and drinks unless specified in the tour (the Sights, Sips, Stories & Sweets tour includes beer tastings and ice cream), and personal purchases at any stops. Private tours can be customized in advance — contact the team to discuss specific interests, special occasions, or requests before booking.

 

Q: How many people can go on a private Denver bus tour?

Private Denver bus tours accommodate a minimum of 1 guest and a maximum of 54 guests per bus. Every guest must have their own ticketed seat — lap seating is not permitted under Colorado state regulations. The buses are 14-passenger climate-controlled shuttles with individual seats and seatbelts for all guests. Groups of more than 14 guests can be accommodated by booking multiple buses simultaneously or in larger coach buses that hold up to 54 guests — email info@discoverdenvertours.com for availability and for pricing for larger groups. There is no minimum group size requirement for private tours — even a group of 1 or 2 guests can book a private tour at the per-group rate, making private tours a genuinely flexible option for solo travelers, couples, and small families who prefer a personalized experience over a public group tour. Children must be ages 6 and older due to Colorado state regulations and car seat laws. Youth field trip tours have separate age and group size guidelines — see the Youth Tours and Field Trips page for full details.
