Four of us were visiting Taos again. We had been there many times, but had never done a tour. We signed up for the Historic Downtown Walking Tour to find out if we had missed anything and discovered we had missed a lot! Anita was our guide. She was engaging and fun, told us interesting facts and gave us information about what happened in the past in Taos -- bringing it all to life with her engaging manner. Highly recommend the tour.

Took this wonderful one hr walking tour w/Anita. She was practically a walking encyclopedia on Taos. The tour was educational and Anita was very entertaining. We could tell she is passionate about Taos and all of the southwest's terrain and history. She went above and beyond to give our large group the best customer care, being prompt, professional and super friendly. She even gave us a list of fantastic historical books on the southwest. Which we did buy. Take the tour and have some fun!!
