This tour was SO FUN! Rebecca was my tour guide and she shared so much interesting history of Santa Fe! I got to see a lot of places that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. She was so sweet and answered all my crazy questions. Highly recommend for a smaller more personal tour!

Timo was a knowledgeable guide and shared lots of details about the history of Santa Fe and the surrounding areas. Group size was small, which allowed for plenty of opportunity to ask questions. We saw the main attractions around the Plaza. However, we had expected more walking around town, and the pace was very slow, it was definitely more of a stroll. We feel like we could have seen more in the time allotted and cost charged.

Hi Anne, so sorry that the tour wasn't what you expected. Our intention is to show our guests the highlights and talk about the history around the Plaza area at a pace that accommodates everyone, while staying within our time frame. There is a full itinerary included in the information where you booked our tour that includes approx. time allowance for each location.

The guide led us on a grievance tour of Santa Fe history, which was all evil. Too much of a lecture and not enough touring. Would not recommend

Hi Walter, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy the tour. This is a historical tour of how Santa Fe became the charming little city that it is today after the growing pains. The same information can be found at the history museum behind the Palace of the Governors. Sometimes it can be difficult to put a positive spin on history. It was a different world in the early days. I wish you had stayed with us so to hear those fascinating bits of history on the rest of the tour like the Miraculous Staircase at the Loretto Chapel. Not all of the history of Santa Fe is negative. We had fun.
