The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi

Santa Fe means “holy faith” and in 1610 the first church was built on this site and replaced by a larger one in 1630, which was then destroyed following the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. There are 20 bronze plaques on the church doors that depict the history of NM since 1539.

Sena Plaza

Wonderful destination of Santa Fe. It is one of the oldest and most authentic buildings in all of the city.

San Miguel Chapel

The Mission was built between 1610 and 1628, the Church was partially destroyed during the 1680 Revolt and rebuilt in 1710 with numerous restorations over the years. Inside beam dates 1710, altar screen and area show oldest portions and next door is the early St. Michael’s College.

The Oldest House

Ken was extremely knowledgeable and had many interesting stories to share. We learned a lot of history while receiving a thorough overview of Santa Fe. He also passed along recommendations. Our group of four found the tour informative and enjoyable. Suggest taking the tour upon arrival in Santa Fe.

Tomas provided a thorough orientation to historic Santa Fe. We would have loved to had more time to sit and talk about the cultures that formed this charming town. We recommend doing this tour upon arrival as we did. Tomas led on around the core area and the NM State House. By using a guide, you get a much better experience than wondering on your on. We absolutely recommend using Tom.

My party of four women did this walking tour the first day we arrived. We didn’t realize how little information we knew about our 48th state. Our tour guide, Ken, not only shared the history of Santa Fe and New Mexico but also where to get the best margaritas, buy silver jewelry, and a variety of hidden gems around town. Recommend doing this first day so you can take advantage of everything you learned.
