What To Expect

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

The current dwelling rests on part of the foundation of an ancient Indian Pueblo dating from around 1200CE. Primarily early Spanish dwelling clearly shows the original architecture and outside walls show excellent examples of adobe, “Cities of Gold” story.

Tomas Gallegos was a wonderful guide for our walk around Santa Fe. We saw many things we would not have otherwise known about, particularly all the spectacular artwork in the capital building. Tomas was also great in explaining the unique character of both New Mexico and Santa Fe.

Great tour guide, Viator could do better… Tom Gallegos was an outstanding guide, he was very informative about Santa Fe and the Pueblo culture. He gave us a lot of great ideas about where to dine, drink, shop and sightsee. Viator changed the meeting location, told Tom, but not us. Made for some confusion.
