Had a fabulous time on this tour with Lesley - would DEFINITELY recommend as a behind-the-scenes look into the Taos art history and the local artist community. I was a last-minute booking, and the owner, Angelisa (sp?), spoke with me early on a Friday morning about the tour, arranged it with the operator, and opened it up on the website so I could book it that day. She was kind and very accommodating and helpful about the tour options. Lesley, my guide, e-mailed me soon after. She had arranged two studio visits with local artists and confirmed my tour. The tour itself was excellent. I was the only one, and Lesley was gracious and informative. We spent a lot of time discussing the Taos Society of Artists, the history of artists in Taos, and the ongoing art community. Really interesting. She was interested in my thoughts and welcomed my questions. We stopped by several sites and two art galleries important to Taos art history. Both of the gallery managers took time to speak with us, and one gave us really interesting insights into some of the art (and painters) she was showing that day. Lesley also arranged a visit to a jewelry artist and a weaver, both of whom took time to speak to me about their work. It was a credit to them that they didn't push me to purchase anything right then (although they encouraged me to come back after my tour) but simply seemed to relish sharing their art with someone who was interested. We finished with a fabulous chocolate tasting at a bean-to-bar establishment. My favorite part!
