Best glimpse into the history of Santa Fe - The narrator was great and the info very interesting. You can pause or read the info at any time. I took the tour after 6pm and it was still great. Next time I’d do it between 10am and 5pm to be able to visit some of the sites during their opening hours.

Great high lights, only a few historical inaccuracies - The directions were perfect. In general very interesting historical details. The music and sound effects helped set the mood. My only complaint would be a few inaccurate comments about the Catholic church.

Would like it to be more! - While the information was interesting and the directions were great, we found that we wanted more. It was a great program for the money, but I think we would have been happier with someone who was able to tell us more.
