A truly excellent tour by Ana! Delved into the very significant history surrounding Santa Fe. Covered lots of topics and time periods, and her binder of historical photos of sites visited was awesome. Highly recommend this tour - especially early in your visit

Ana was very knowledgeable and her family has a deep history in the region. In our time together, she taught us a ton—about the the Native Americans and the local Pueblos, how the Spanish came to the region and brought disease and war but also education and hospitals, and how Los Alamos nearby was the site of the Manhattan Project. Perfect for our first day in Santa Fe!

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
  • Private guide for a flexible and customized experience

    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!

    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.

    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.
