It was informative, just... - The tour was very informative, just the right amount of time, and helped us learn about the history of Santa Fe, all the famous people, buildings and the art and culture. Our guide Paul shared so many details, great shops to visit and was so accommodating…taking the tour in the snow!

It was like a connect with Santa Fe’s past and present - The guide provided fascinating insights to the city's history and art scene. We enjoyed walking Santa Fe’s historic downtown, seeing the buildings, art galleries and other landmarks. We also enjoyed some artisanal biscuits and coffee at a local eatery. Highly recommend if you want to experience Santa Fe.

Great Introduction to Santa Fe - Paul was a great guide. He focused initially on the creation of modern Santa Fe, showed us a lot of historic art and made the whole experience fun. He personally knows a lot of the locals including the indigenous crafts people. He could, therefore, tell us a great deal about current crafting techniques. This local knowledge enabled us to get into places which would otherwise be impossible.
