A must do in Santa Fe - Sandy was a fabulous tour guide! We had never been to the city and we learned so much about Santa Fe history. We had a smaller group of 7 total and we enjoyed meeting the other vacationers and sharing stories about the things we had been doing while vacationing in the area as we enjoyed the wine flight at the end. This was a wonderful tour and we would highly recommend it.

Excellent Tour - Micky was really outstanding! Her knowledge of the architecture and history of the area is vast. She was also very welcoming and extremely engaging. If you’re considering this tour just do it!

Sandy’s the best! - Sandy guides us around the city, and Travis shadowed her since he’s becoming a guide soon. They were both incredibly well-versed on the city, its history, and the architecture. It was great whenever Sandy explained something, and Travis added on - they would bounce their knowledge back and forth and we learned so much and had a lot of fun. They also had great recs for food, activities, and other places in NM to see. 1000/10 would recommend. Thanks, Sandy and Travis!

Good tour for rookie or even a local - Wonderful tour, as our guide Mary was well informed with an excellent art background. Canyon road has so many galleries, I wasn’t really up for “winging it”. I did the tour in the morning, had lunch, and then hit several galleries on my own as I walked back to the hotel. Thanks Mary!

Memorable walking tour of Santa Fe - The Santa Fe Architectural Walking Tour was one of the highlights of my visit to SF this year. Sandy, our guide, did an exemplary job, from beginning to end. Her passion for and knowledge of the subject are impressive. She paced the walking and the narrative perfectly, ensuring everyone’s comfort and ability to absorb the tour’s many engaging and memorable details. Even though I have visited Santa Fe many times and know some of its historical and architectural background, most of what I learned on the tour was both new to me and fascinating. I strongly recommend the tour and Sandy.

Sandy was a superb guide.... - Sandy was a superb guide. I think the tour would have been better without the wine tasting, though. It was a hot day and not the best idea

Disappointed - Tour guide was a no-show, with no explanation. We booked for a Saturday tour. Then, company reached out 2 days before, saying Saturday needed to be canceled, so we agreed to go Friday instead. This required rearranging our entire Friday and Saturday, but we hoped it would be worth it. Friday came, we waited 30 minutes for the tour guide, but they never showed. So, we called the company multiple times asking if tour was still happening, and an operator said we'd be called back soon, but nobody called us back with any useful information. Finally received an apology message hourrrrrs later, but with no explanation as to why this happened. Also, upon agreeing to switch to Friday, I asked to be sent a reconfirmation, but that request was also ignored..... Company said in its apology, "This isnt how we operate," but clearly it is exactly how they operate. Very disappointed, since our time in Santa Fe was limited. Buyer beware, and have a backup plan, since company's communication and follow-through appear unreliable at best. Included is a pic I took of the company's locked and unmanned office where we wasted our 30 minutes.
