What makes this tour a must-do?
This experience taps into the heart of Colorado’s legal cannabis world, taking you behind the scenes into a licensed grow facility, visiting top dispensaries in Denver and watching a live glass-blowing demonstration. The tour runs for about 3 to 3½ hours, uses a 420-friendly party bus and keeps the group small (limit of 10 guests) to maintain an intimate atmosphere.
What can we expect from our guide?
One thing you can be sure of is that your guide will be well acquainted with the cannabis industry. They’ll explain the legal landscape in Colorado, break down how different products compare and help you navigate responsibly if you choose to purchase, all in a friendly, conversational way. They’ll also lead you on the bus, answer questions, share fun anecdotes and ensure you feel comfortable throughout. Indeed, reviewers consistently cite how personable and knowledgeable these guides are.
Which moments are sure to leave a lasting impression?
The grow house visit is easily a highlight, offering a chance to walk through a fully operational cultivation facility and see how Denver’s cannabis industry operates behind closed doors. You’ll watch as plants move through different stages of growth and learn about lighting and ventilation systems. The glass-blowing demonstration adds a creative twist, inviting you to stand just a few feet away as molten glass is shaped into intricate pipes or ornaments by hand.
So who do you think this tour is best for?
Due to the nature of the tour, we’d say it’s suited to adults or older teenagers who are comfortable with cannabis, interested in its production or culture, and want a light-hearted yet insightful outing rather than a strictly educational tour. It’s also well suited for solo travellers or groups who appreciate a relaxed, somewhat playful vibe and want to explore something outside the standard sightseeing path.
What’s the cost?
The tour costs around €78 per person, which covers entrance to the dispensary and grow facility, the live glass blowing demonstration and air-conditioned coach transportation via a designated meeting point.
