We had an interesting tour with history and visits to lots of unknown places that we won't think of visiting if we did it on our own. Sam also recommended some movies and books to learn more about Southwest culture.

Steve was a very knowledgeable and personable guide on our tour of historic Taos. His detailed descriptions of the people and history of Taos was very entertaining and his care of our safety as we negotiated the streets was exemplary. We would highly recommend this tour.

Anita was an awesome tour guide! Highly recommend taking a tour with her as she's extremely knowledgeable on the history of Taos. She kept the tour interesting and moving along. Before we knew it, our 1 hour was up and we found ourselves wanting to keep walking and learning. She also gave some awesome recommendations on restaurants and other sites to see around the area.
