I am a first-time visitor to the Taos area so this tour was really a nice way to see some great art & artisans. I have always loved art & have dabbled with drawing and painting, but I also love seeing & learning about the creative process & different artists. Our guide, Tyler, was knowledgeable & very personable. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone coming to Taos.
