We had heard about the Canyon Road Art community and heard that there were tons of places to go. We did not want to be overwhelmed and opted to sign up for a tour. We met Elaine and she exposed us to a number of different types of art from indigenous to abstract, from paintings to sculpture to pottery and beyond. She had each of us to select what we liked then asked questions to get us to interpret why we liked what we liked. My wife and I liked different things but our discussions went beyond . "I like that". Because this was more than a southwest painting and jewelry excursion we now have tools to appreciate art in any environment. A really good experience.

Steven, thank you so much for your lovely review! It was great meeting you. I'm so glad to hear that you and your wife feel that you now have tools to appreciate art anywhere. That's amazing, and exactly what we hope for!

Elaine was knowledgeable and engaging, we had a great experience and could not rate it more highly. She was creative in her approach and made the tour very interactive. A great morning and we left with a higher appreciation of multiple art forms. Thank you, your professionalism is acknowledged and appreciated.

Santa Fe Downtown is a great visit. Very walkable. Great food most everywhere. The adobe buildings give the place its own unique style and I love the southwest landscape. Several good day trips. We did our best to complete the margarita trail!
