Angelisa is an amazing tour designer! I love experiencing anything that she puts together. Lewis was our guide for the Acoma tour and they were both knowledgeable and accommodating. I highly recommend

If you want to experience the magic of Taos from an authentic angle, Heritage Inspirations offers a truly unique perspective into what makes Taos so special. Even as a local I wouldn’t be able to access such an inside look into the pulse of this Taos. Angelisa is also super knowledgeable and creates such a fun atmosphere during the tour. I would highly recommend.

I highly recommend this tour! The private experience in the Taos Pueblo was phenomenal. Angelisa is a wealth of knowledge, and I really enjoyed learning about the history and traditions of this native community. Geronimo shared his story and baked the best bread in the horno. CJ hosted us for lunch and made a delicious meal with local ingredients. This tour is a MUST when visiting Taos!

We (6 friends) customized our High Road to Taos tour by extending it to a full day experience. Our guide, Mickey, was the highlight of the day. Her knowledge of the history of this enchanted area and cultural references made the trip memorable. Thanks for a fabulous day.

Spent a wonderful day in Taos. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Had a private tour at Taos Pueblo. Beautiful views of the gorge. Private tour of Millicent Rogers Museum. Our tour guide was an art history major and knew a lot. This tour took us to everything we wanted to see.

We were looking forward to the tour, but it doesn't run on Tuesday or Wednesday. We arrive Mon. afternoon and leave Thurs. am. Guess we'll have to use the map and make our own tour and save some money.

Lewis was awesome and Taos was somehow even better. Super chill but informative tour , met lots of friendly locals and bought even more handmade stuff ! If you go to Taos buy the bread and all of the baked goods. Fry bread was 10/10 and the handmade jewelry was even cuter!
