I really enjoyed this! - The route instructions were easy to follow, and the map feature was very helpful when I got a bit turned around after detouring around some temporary sidewalk construction. I really enjoyed learning a bit about the history of Taos - thanks! I'll be using this during our travels in the future.

Great intro to Taos. - This tour took just about an hour. Once you pay you have to download the free WalknTours app on your device. Then you listen to the tour as you walk along. The directions given were easy to follow and the information provided was a good introduction to the town. I’ve been coming to Taos for years but learned quite a bit with this experience!

Great day! - We enjoyed the tour. However, don’t pay for the Bent Museum. It is now $3 not a dollar and a huge rip off. We loved the Blumenstein Museum. The first museum which looked interesting was closed on Tuesdays. Overall, worth it

Taos history tour - It’s very basic. I learned a couple things I didn’t know. I’d take future visitors to our cabin. Worth the time.
