I work in experiential marketing, and took a group of about nine people to Santa Fe on a branded trip. My clients (a group of four marketing folks from the brand) and their guests (five journalists) came in with very little info, but pretty high expectations for the trip. Elaine's tour of Canyon Road was a major highlight of the experience! She was fun, friendly, easy to get along with, and super knowledgable about the history of Santa Fe, the art scene there, and the various artists and galleries along Canyon Road. She was perfectly professional, yet totally warm, and made everyone feel comfortable asking questions, sharing, and exploring. She also went above and beyond to help the brand connect with an artist to create a custom piece for us. It was amazing and we all had a great time!

My friends and I truly enjoyed Elaine’s guidance and expertise. We would have been lost on Canyon Rd by ourselves

Our tour guide was great - very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. She really knew the galleries well and provided some Santa Fe history to put the art in context. We would definitely recommend this tour.
