Sam was engaging and entertaining on a nice walk around Taos Plaza. We visited shops and galleries, around the back alleys, and Sam supported his dialogue with numerous pictures. The tour lasted about 90 minutes and was an easy walk.

Worthwhile. We had one day in Taos and having a guide like Sam was great. He provided historical background, color and insight into Taos.
