Best tour in Santa Fe! - Jerard was the best tour guide! Super knowledgeable and accommodating! Not only did he take us to many places we had on our list to visit as we heard they were the "go to" places but also told us about many other hidden gems! I would definitely recommend to everyone and would go back for another tour when we are back in Santa Fe!

It's worth every penny! Such a good time - Jerard was a down to earth local guy who loved sharing tid bits and history about Santa fe. The food at the stops was great (local pizza and tacos). The drinks were all good. We were definitely full and had a slight buzz when we were done. We also got to learn about other places to visit while we were there. Thanks again for a great experience. It was definitely our favorite experience during our visit.

Outstanding - Due to other guests having to cancel, we received a private tour and our guide was actually the owner, Jerard, who was not only personable but extremely knowledgeable of NM history and the local culture and culinary scene. I highly recommend Vigilante Tours as one of the first things to do in Santa Fe. The owner indicated that he will be offering other tours in the future and based on our experience it would be worthwhile to check them out.

Food, Fun, Drink History and good times with good people. - Gerard from vigilante tours was great. He is the owner and was our tour guide. Very knowledgable on local history to include rail history, geography, local and ghost history. We had great local food and drinking a great atmosphere. He took the time to socialize and get to know the group. It was the off season when we went but the sunny days and the Santa Fe welcome were very enjoyable.
