What are people saying about Santa Fe

Devika_C, May 2026

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.

Santa Fe Revisited

BARBARA_D, May 2026

A beautiful day in Santa Fe!

Anna, our tour guide arrived prepared full of knowledge of Santa fe and New Mexican history. At various stops she showed us before photos of historic landmarks. The tour was a comfortable pace, not rushed and Anna had answers to all questions. The tour was so enjoyable, we wished it was longer. I would definately recommend this tour if you are looking to learn about Santa Fe history. Anna was awesome.

TLC Stained Glass Workshop--GREAT!!

Highly recommended activity in Santa Fe!! What an amazing way to introduce yourself to the art of stained glass--Owen was an amazing instructor- so knowledgeable and so patient with us! We made a 7 piece honeycomb suncatcher --the hardest part was deciding on the colors and texture!! There are other beautiful pieces for sale there as well. This would be a great group activity, total time was about 90 minutes--worth every minute!!

History, sites, and food!

Jerard was an excellent tour guide! He was super communicative and met us at the designated spot on time. We started with an amazing historical overview of Santa Fe and then were on our way to stroll through the plaza seeing the sites and discovering more about the city. We had three stops for food/beverages and everything was delicious! This tour was well worth thr money and time.

New Mexican Flavors Food Tour of the Santa Fe Plaza

Come hungry, leave happy!

This was a must try for first-timers in Santa Fe and Jose Lopez was a great guide. Our small group of six was perfect for conversation and seating and Jose gave us lots of information on Sante Fe and New Mexico history and food culture. They were not kidding when the description said come hungry because the tasting left us feeling full. The food was very good and the margaritas were a good example of styles in the area. We had a great time.

Hot Air Balloon Rides in Santa Fe

WilliamEdward_C, Oct 2025

You Have to Love the Adventure With These Balloonatics.

Excellent administration, ⭐️ set us up for a great experience. It’s an adventure and one should dress accordingly: though improbable, it is quite possible that the balloon may land in a location that is a wee hike from the pursuit/recovery vehicles, so good sensible shoes are a must; it’s located at over 5000ft above mean sea level so, it’s cool, you’ll be going higher too, so dress warm; It’s a photogenic activity ⭐️ the golden hour for the Sunlight on the Land in the necessarily cooler air of Dawn and Dusk, you’ll meet fellow adventurers ⭐️ and you’ll want to take pictures but try to live in the moment, allow yourself to immerse in the experience and enjoy the silence and stillness; our flight Yesterday with Clotaire and Johnny in the other balloon was exciting! ⭐️ low level, nap of the earth flying; the skill on display was extraordinary! ⭐️ it ended traditionally 🍾 too ⭐️

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!

Viator Exclusive: Gourmet Brunch in Santa Fe with Chef Carolina

Gail_B, Oct 2025

Lovely brunch in historic Santa Fe

The venue is in the outdoor garden at a historic home/hotel complex in a very older part of Santa Fe. Chef Carolina was very sweet, gracious, and proud of the dishes she prepared for us. She had a table of 4 set for our private group. Each dish was unique, adequate size, and used very fresh, seasonal ingredients. Honestly, Viator's charges were excessive for this activity. They probably made more money than the chef and her staff.

Stained Glass Class - Hidden Santa Fe Gem

Susan_G, Jun 2025

So much fun! We expected...

So much fun! We expected to see a lot of beautiful art in Santa Fe but hadn't planned on making art of our own. J.T. was our instructor--he was very friendly, helpful, informative, and relaxed. I highly recommend this experience if you want to step outside the norm of the typical Santa Fe experience. No special creativity or art background is needed. Just plan to have fun and take home both a beautiful object and a beautiful memory!
