Guide was very knowledgable, pleasant and willing to answer questions. We had booked the entire tour to ensure a privatized experience but the guide indicated that it was a set itinerary. She did try to change up the gallery stops to suit our interests

Gayle, thank you for your review. I responded to you privately via direct message. I am also responding here for the benefit of other travelers who might have questions about this. This is a private tour, however, it is not a customized tour. Unfortunately it seems that Viator updated the tour description without our knowledge to indicate that this tour can be customized. This is not correct, and we will be taking this up with Viator immediately. Like most tours, this one follows a set route and schedule. I understand that the guide did her best to accommodate your requests on the spot and ensure that you would see artwork that interested you. For reference, customized gallery tours can be booked through Santa Fe Art Tours directly. I am sorry that you did not receive the experience you expected.

My sister and I had an exceptional experience with Elaine who not only knew everything and everyone on Canyon Road but gave us so much of the history of the area plus she was so personable and fun to be with. Highly recommend.
