5.00The guide was very interesting and knowledgeable about all the local history, of which there is a huge amount that Easterners are never taught in school. He accommodated our special mobility needs perfectly. The tour was well paced. Criticism: very high price compared with the food tour the following day, which covered a lot of the same history and architecture but also included multiple delicious food stops.
ONE BIG DISAPPOINTMENT - Buyer Beware

1.00Being this was the first time in Santa Fe, I was excited to learn more about this great area, architecture and people Being this tour was on the pricey site (two of us it was a total of $445), I had high expectations. These were immediately called into question as we initially spent 10 minutes getting a map lesson of the area (mentioning the same things over and over again). Then we started out walking to a few sites, not a lot of storytelling history and definitely hard to follow (again, lots of repetition). We also walked by many restaurants and were told the "good" places to go. This tour was definitely not worth the money, there are $25 City Tours available in La Fonda - I suggest trying those instead. Because that is what we should have paid. Very disappointed - I could have just walked around throwing money on ground - and received the same result.
History nice, not on tour for shops
