Paul was amazing. His knowledge and story telling made it a great tour. It was our first time in Santa Fe and walked away with a great appreciation of its history.

STEVEN_B

Knowledgeable (re history and art) and friendly guide. Communication beforehand excellent. Shared stories and sites of Manhattan Project connections to Santa Fe.

We had a great informative walking tour in downtown Santa Fe. Ken, was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He also recommended restaurants along the way.

davidrV3267JX

The 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.

Being 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.

Didn't go to all places mentioned. We were taken by shops we felt were to make purchases. History great, not on the tour for shops.

This tour at its best is worth 25.00. We walked around as our guide pointed out shops and restaurants. Did not enter a chapel, museum NADA. Yes we were told some history. What a complete waste of money!

N6805NKsherryg

The knowledge shared from the excellent tour guide. All our questions were answered. Almost a private tour with just two, mother and son. A cooling stop in the beautiful State Capitol. I would highly recommend it.

Great tour with a very insightful guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it! Paul was tremendous!

David_M

Tom the guide on several occasions started conversations with other strangers, rambling on ignoring us. We had to wander to even get his attention. He just wants to chat, not guide at all. We would like a full refund. We left very disappointed after 30 minutes. Huge ripoff. Viator no more.
