5.00Victor was teriffic, very passionate about Santa Fe and New Mexico. Easily conveyed important info, knew when to stop for futher discussion, humorous and professional at the same time. The 3 hours went quickly and we learned a lot. A must for first time visitors and I'd recommend arranging it the first day of your visit. I highly recommend this tour

Victor made this a fascinating and delightful three hours filled with humor and drama and some surprises. He has expertly crafted a narrative that embraces the many cultures of Santa Fe and honors its history. Every first time visitor to Santa Fe needs to join this tour and walk with Victor to learn of the city's colorful past and surprising secrets.

5.00Highlight of our trip to Santa Fe! We loved our tour and learned so much! Victor is super personable and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. He shares it in such a fun and interesting way and his love for his city and people is evident. He gives great tips on places to eat, shop and visit during your time in Santa Fe, too! We went back to some of the places he mentioned and they were awesome. We highly recommend this tour! It is worth every penny. You will not be disappointed.

5.00What an excellent way to kick off our vacation time in Santa Fe! Victor, our tour guide, was very colorful and entertaining and even went a little over the 3 hour tour time. We had a very nice group for this tour. The tour is a nice mix of historical facts and color about Santa Fe. Highly recommend.

5.00Victor is very knowledgeable. He has a great way of telling the stories of Sante Fe. He encourages & enjoys audience participation. I would highly recommend this tour. Ours was a larger group I think around 20 of us & he did a good job of making sure we were all included. We had stops in hotel lobbies to get water , bathroom breaks & breaks from the sun. He did go an extra hour long which my friend & I didn't mind. Not sure if this happens often or b/c we had a larger group. You can tell he loves Sante Fe
Fun, interesting history tour
