Thomas Gallegos enhanced our trip to Santa Fe by a thousand percent. It was a first time visit for one of us and the rest hadn't been to the City in decades. We did the tour about 1 hour after arriving in the city and that was the way to do it. Tom was kind, fun and informative. He provided an outstanding review of the City's history and ethos. We had a greater respect for the City and its culture which we could have been oblivious to without Tom. You know you're doing something right when random people stop you on the street and tell you that you have the best tour guide in town and call him by name. One restaurateur even asked us to stop so he could make a quick dish for us to sample because he likes Thomas so much. It was delicious by the way. Thomas helped us with places to shop, eat, and visit. A MUST DO.

Thomas's knowledge of Santa Fe's history was exceptional. Learned so much about history of American Indians and Pueblos. And everyone in Santa Fe seemed to know him!!
