The Tour of Downtown Santa Fe was Delightful

Barbara_S, Sep 2024
Our guide Miguel was outstanding, entertaining and a wonderful historian. There were a couple of snafus, however. The date of our tour was incorrect when we received the final confirmation with the name of our guide and meeting place. The dates of the Georgia O'Keefe Museum were also incorrect but a phone call was made prior and the vouchers were honored. Considering the high price of the tour, I was surprised that we had to pay an entry fee to tour one of the sites. Unfortunately I can't remember whether it was the Oldest House or the Loretto Chapel with the staircase.

Fun, fascinating and informative!!5

Bob_D, Sep 2024

We absolutely loved this tour, thanks to our fantastic guide, Christian! His knowledge of history not only of the area, but the world, was incredible. He was a fantastic storyteller! I appreciated Christians patience with our group as we had a few slow walkers (75 and 81 😉), adjusting the tour to fit our needs without missing a beat. Thank you!!

Great tour!

Kimberly_L, Apr 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Lorraine. We felt like a friend was taking us around the beautiful city of Santa Fe. Her life and travel experiences only helped to enhance our tour. We enjoyed listening and learning about Sante Fe and New Mexico history from her. She was very knowledgeable and was a food tour guide as well so she pointed out to us many great places to eat and be entertained in the city! This was a perfect way to get to know the city when you have little time. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all Lorraine showed us but seeing the highlights was perfect!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hi Kimberly, it sounds like you had an amazing experience with Lorraine in Santa Fe! Her personal touch and wealth of life and travel experiences added a special dimension to your tour.

Fantastic tour with an exceptional guide

Richard_D, Apr 2023
My lovely wife and I would strongly recommend this tour with Christian during a visit to Santa Fe. We toured privately with Christian on our first day in town. His knowledge of Santa Fe, its history and its legends was extensive. He has created his tour to be informative and entertaining and welcomes questions and digressions for matters of particular personal interest. He is also a wealth of information and recommendations for Santa Fe. We made good use of his knowledge for our stay. Above all, he is charming and personable, it felt like spending three hours with a friend,

Must do tour!

Deepali_H, Apr 2023
Monica was absolutely fantastic!! She had so many stories about Santa Fe and all the colorful characters from its history - they were enthralling. She gave us exceptional tips on experiences we would not have known about in and around Santa Fe. Highly recommend this tour!

True historic introduction to Sante Fe

Jackie_S, Apr 2023
We had a very thorough tour. Our guide was patient in answering all our questions and really took time to give us a solid introduction to Sante Fe.

Great way to start your visit to Santa Fe

Kathleen_D, Oct 2022
We did our private tour on the first day of our trip. Miguel was a wonderful guide. He was very informative about the Santa Fe and New Mexico history. After the tour we felt we had a very good understanding of all that the area had to offer. We always enjoy having a private tour as it allows us to travel at our own pace and ask a lot of questions - and we certainly put Miguel to the test. I highly recommend this as a starting point for your visit to Santa Fe. "Clarence" if you are reading this - thank you again for a wonderful start to our anniversary trip!

Christian Gian Salia was the most knowledgeable tour guid I’ve ever encountered. Just a fabulous guide.

Joyce_T, Sep 2022

Miguel RULES!!

Hillary_M, Nov 2021
Miguel was an INCREDIBLE guide. What a stud! He knows everything about everything and can give as much or as little detail as you want. He is super friendly and easy to talk with. Felt like we just spent the morning with an old friend.

Private walking tour focusing on history of Santa Fe

Miguel, our tour guide, was pleasant and knowledgeable and gave us a lot of historical background to the sights of the tour. The tour mostly was focused on Santa Fe Plaza and the historic buildings close by.

Pleasant tour-Lacked details

Kerri_H, Jul 2021
Pleasant tour guide and a nice walking pace; however, the commentary felt random. We craved more interesting facts and stories about Santa Fe. I would not recommend this tour for the price.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

We regret that it didn't turn out to be the experience you were expecting, but please know that your words are significantly important to us, and we keep them very present in the improvement of our experiences.
