Great knowledge tour !

Victor is very knowledgeable. He has a great way of telling the stories of Sante Fe. He encourages & enjoys audience participation. I would highly recommend this tour. Ours was a larger group I think around 20 of us & he did a good job of making sure we were all included. We had stops in hotel lobbies to get water , bathroom breaks & breaks from the sun. He did go an extra hour long which my friend & I didn't mind. Not sure if this happens often or b/c we had a larger group. You can tell he loves Sante Fe

I walked into a portal opening a fridge

The Lyft driver remarked that it was “Disney without the rides”. Have to believe he never went in! It’s kind of amazing because the sheer spectacle and colors, patterns, textures, are sensorially overwhelming; but then there are mysteries and stories hidden within so it’s actually two in one, that involves on both that sensory and cognitive level, not to mention climbing, scrambling, kneeling, and jumping.

A lovely mix of historical context, the anthropology of the peoples of this area and the artistic expression they created over the years. Mary was informative and fun and seemed to know everyone on Canyon Road! Taking the tour made our time on Canyon Rd MUCH more enjoyable and informative vs just wandering around on our own.

Santa Fe Saturday Scenic Ride

Teo offered many insights into Santa Fe history as we toured all around the central square, along the Santa Fe trail, up to hillsides for fantastic views of the surrounding area and then back down to Railroad Arts district and along many excellent bike trails. The group was well paced and kept safe while having fun cruising throughout the city. An excellent way to see the many different areas of Santa Fe! The staff at Heritage Inspirations was so very helpful and offered us insights into tours in other areas of NM. And the valet parking at the Inn was very convenient. Will definitely recommend this to others we know.

Great way to spend the afternoon!

We had such a fantastic time on our girls’ trip food tour in Santa Fe! Our guide Lauren was not only fun and full of energy but also an experienced chef who wove the history of Santa Fe into each stop. It felt like we were experiencing the city through its flavors, and we loved every minute. We sampled guacamole, fresh salsas, barbacoa and al pastor tacos, margaritas, and even enjoyed a champagne tasting. The highlight for many of us was the churros—crispy on the outside, yet light and fluffy on the inside, filled with sweet surprises like whipped cream, berries, and cream cheese. Absolutely delicious! Our guide kept us laughing the whole time, making the experience not just tasty but incredibly fun. This tour is perfect for couples, bachelorette parties, or just a group of friends wanting to do something unique and memorable in Santa Fe. Highly recommend!
