    Great tour to understand Santa Fe

    Tiffany_G, Aug 2026
    We thoroughly enjoyed our two hour history tour of Santa Fe with our guide Jeff. He lead intelligent discussions with great historical details. So glad we took the tour to get a lay of the land in Santa Fe and to appreciate its rich history.

    Expert Tour Guides!

    Highly recommended walking tour of Santa Fe! Our docent was full of knowledge and interesting insights about the city! He also did a great job of navigating all of our questions (of which we had many). Must-do for anyone looking to get a better understanding of the layered and complex history of the city!

    Excellent introduction to Santa Fe history!

    The walk was very manageable and our guide always found a shady spot for us to stand or sit when he wanted to expound. I thought he was knowledgeable and thorough and he was able to answer most of our questions.

    A Must take historical walk !!
