Good introduction for first timers into the city! - Paul was very informative and filled us in on everything we wanted to know about Santa Fe when we were downtown on the tour. He answered various other questions we had and we enjoyed our time with him! I would definitely recommend doing this tour as we didn’t know much about the city and he filled us in quite a bit, so we feel like we got a good overview.

Fun Santa Fe tour-- nice emphasis on history and local art. - Our Santa Fe tour was super interesting! Our tour guide, Paul, had so much knowledge of Santa Fe and he helped make it come to life. He also brought us to several shops that had interesting collections that showed the life of the native people as well as the region craft. Thanks, Paul, for a great morning!
