We all enjoyed this walking tour of Taos. You do go into lots of art gallery’s but I don’t feel any pressure to buy anything. Our guide Sam was a lovely man!

Story of the Indian uprising of 1640 & of the historical & artistic figures who came thru Taos, many staying here. Kit Carson’s story was fascinating! Sam is a good narrator of all this!Meeting some shop owners & artists was great too.
