Learned some Taos history and enjoyed the local insights. It was a fun tour. Also inspired us to go see some nearby spots we hadn’t known about.

Lindsey was a great guide for us. Any question we had, she was on the spot with the answer. I thought I was going to know so much about Taos going into it (we had already been there with locals for 4 days) but the history she told us was fantastic. So many rich stories about celebrities, Indian settlers, Spanish settlers, and government officials... all from that little small town of Taos. Not much walking, and she made sure we were comfortable at all times.

YAY, glad to hear it! Lindsay's a gem & Taos has such a deep, rich history for such a small town. Thanks for joining our walking tour. :-)

We took this tour the day we arrived in Taos. It was well worth the time and money. It was an excellent introduction to the city and it's fascinating history and everything we did after was more meaningful. Our guide, Anita, had an impressive command of names, dates and historical events which she managed to share in an entertaining and informative way. We were never bored or overwhelmed. The pace was leisurely enough for just about anyone to manage. A very good price for a very good tour.
