Excellent start to a more enriching stay in Santa Fe. We learned a lot. - We two did the tour on the first morning after we arrived in Santa Fe. We are glad we did, because Ana provided a great introduction to the city that enriched our Santa Fe visit. Her explanation provided us a grasp of Santa Fe's history within the context of Spanish America, Mexico, and the United States. We gained other valuable information as well, including about the rotating Native American artisan merchants who operate in a designated area of Santa Fe Plaza. This tour, which we purchased directly from Ana on her website, was a great value.

Only if you really want to know the incredible history of Santa Fe and the surrounding area... - We had always wanted to visit Santa Fe and after 40 years...Finally got around to doing it! Ana's tour was the first thing my wife and I did on our first (of 4) days, and we have commented over & over to each other that we were SO glad we chose to do that! Incredibly knowledgeable with a vibrant delivery, we could have easily spent another couple of hours getting to know more about the "City Different". We've actually taken a variety of tours in our travels over the last 4 decades but I can tell you without hesitation that Ana's was the best one we'd ever been on! (Second place? The "Sound of Music" Tour in Salzburg...) Thanks again for a very fun & educational day, Ana! Sincerely...Rick B, St. George UT

A great historical tour of SantaFe - I would highly recommend Ana’s walking tour. It is an easy walk for everyone, young and old with breaks along the way. Ana knows the history of Santa Fe well and I learned so much . She has also written several books if you care to explore further. She is personable and knowledgeable and her love of Santa Fe is evident. It is a town rich with history and she gives a great overview. This is THE walking tour to take. Thank you Ana for sharing your love of Santa Fe!

The Best Private Tour of Santa Fe - Ana is not just an experienced historian, but also a fascinating storyteller. We learned so much about her home town of Santa Fe, it's history and architecture, and a lot of surprising facts about the connection to Igor Stravinsky and Ben Hur - I'm not going to spoil it. But just as important, she was very thoughtful of my mother who turned 90 during our visit and has limited mobility and heat tolerance, and was able to adjust the tour so we could all enjoy it. She has also authored a number of books available on her website and you get one if you arrange a private tour. I think we may need to get a couple more. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone coming to Santa Fe.

Walking Tour of Santa Fe History - I made a plan with Ana Pacheco, a former historian for the city of Santa Fe, a native, the author of several books, and, most important, a well-organized businesswoman and clear speaker. We were part of a group of six on a walking tour of about two hours. Our reservation was for two at a reasonable per person rate, and we were joined by four others. I especially appreciated Ana's humanism in understanding the city's historical development. This was definitely one of the best walking tours I have ever taken, and there have been plenty.
