So great, so much History! Ana is a local, deeply rooted in Santa fe History & culture ~ a natural historian. Her vibrant personality is the icing on the top! Highly recommended 🤩🌄💃🏿🌵

Overview

There are many Santa Fe tours out there, but this is the only one lead by a homegrown historian and author of eight books on the city. Take advantage of the guide’s deep knowledge of Santa Fe history and culture to gain a new perspective on landmarks like the Loretto Chapel, Canyon Road, Cross of the Martyrs, Route 66, and more. The tour delves into topics not often covered, including the Manhattan Project, spirituality, and Santa Fe’s role in World War II.
  • Learn local history straight from a born-and-bred Santa Fe historian
  • Longer than most walking tours for an in-depth experience
  • Enrich your understanding of Santa Fe's Spanish roots and modern culture

    Phenominal Tour of Santa Fe!

    Beth_L, Apr 2026
    The Santa Fe Revisted tour was phenomenal. Ana was highly organized and shared the history of Santa Fe in a most entertaining manner. I'm confident this walking tour was the BEST walking tour I've ever been on. We were so glad that we went on this tour on our first day in Santa Fe. It set the groundwork for us to know what we wanted to see throughout the rest of our stay. I highly recommend this tour!

    Deborah_H, Mar 2026
    The experience was full of interesting historical details told by an expert whose ancestors came to Santa Fe in the 1600s. Ann was funny, engaging and friendly.

    Kimberly_T, Mar 2026
    This was a great experience and recommended for all that are interested in the unique history of Santa Fe. Ana was super knowledgeable and wonderfully engaging. She provided a rich history of Santa Fe from the arrival of the Spanish, to the birth of the art community, to the Manhatten project. Our group was multi-generational and she kept everyone engaged. I highly recommend spending a morning with Ana. It will truly enrich your visit to Santa Fe.

    Amazing! The best tour...

    Karen_B, Dec 2025
    Amazing! The best tour guide. Learned so much fascinating history about Santa Fe and NM! Ana was truly awesome ! Highly recommend. We have visited all of the places we stopped at on this tour multiple times but did not go into any of them but that was ok with us. We wanted to learn about the history of all these landmarks. So if you want to go inside these landmarks you need to go before or after this tour.

    Personal Santa Fe tour

    Norma_G, Oct 2025
    Anna was a wonderful tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Santa Fe and New Mexico. She made the history of the area exciting. Our tour on a rainy morning in October was a pleasure due to Anna’s enthusiasm for her topic. I and my friends would recommend a tour with Anna to anyone interested in knowing about Santa Fe and its history.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Norma, I appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. It was great showing your group around my hometown. Come back soon! Ana

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Cydney, thank you for taking my tour and for leaving this review. I hope the rest of your time in Santa Fe was memorable. Ana

    Ana is outstanding!!!

    Paul_W, Oct 2025
    Ana is a phenomenal tour guide. This year, we took tours in five different countries. Each tour guide was good and had unique strengths. But none can compare to Ana. She not only has extensive knowledge (having written eight books about Santa Fe history), she is also an excellent speaker, teaches the things we would not learn in school, adds appropriate and funny humor, and knows how to deliver the key pieces of the most important information. She is fascinating and outstanding!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Paul, I appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. Thank you for allowing me to share my love of hometown history with you. Come back to Santa Fe soon! Ana

    Wonderful informative tour

    This is the tour to take in Santa Fe!!!

    Kathryn_O, Oct 2025
    Ana was AMAZING! She was the most knowledgeable tour guide I've had. This tour set the best tone for our trip exploring Santa Fe. It's always tricky weaving in and out of different time periods based on the location of the tour, but Ana did it in a masterful way so that at the end, I really feel like I have a deeper understanding of the local history and how its reflected in present times.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Kathryn, I truly enjoyed touring with you. And I appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. Enjoy Santa Fe & safe travels home! Ana
