It is a great tour where you get a sense of Santa Fe's history throughout the years and you actually stop by most of the buildings on the tour. You will walk quite a bit on this tour but it is so enjoyable. The history of Santa Fe is absolutely amazing and without a tour like this one, you may not actually understand why it matters. It is also fun and we laughed a lot. You have to take this tour!

Victor is an incredible resource of history of Santa Fe and New Mexico and we loved the way he told the stories of SF development. I have been to Santa Fe numerous times, but still learned a lot in a very fun way. Thanks, Vic!

I loved the whole tour. Our host was extremely knowledgeable and knew so much of the history of Santa Fe. He went above and beyond and even stayed with us for an extra 45 minutes. I completely recommend this tour.

The guide was just great and full of information and history of the area. It was over 3 hours and I never looked at my watch. It was worth the money. I wished to have had a recording so I could listen again. Got full tour and good suggestions as well, Thank you

Victor was fantastic. We learned so much (historic, architectural, cultural) in the most fun way. He was a font of knowledge and shared it all — his peoples’ experiences, the history of the region, the influence of religion, arts, science. He made our trip!
