Overview

Mobile ticket
Enjoy an intimate small-group walking tour of Santa Fe, limited to just 10 guests and guided by Rebecca or Timo. Nothing compares to the interaction and conversation possible in a truly small group. This relaxed Santa Fe history walking tour explores the culture, architecture, and stories that make Santa Fe “The City Different.”
Ease into the city as we stroll through historic downtown Santa Fe, visiting landmarks including Santa Fe Plaza, Loretto Chapel, San Miguel Chapel—often called the oldest church in the United States—and beautiful Sena Plaza, while discovering hidden corners many visitors miss.
Learn how Native American, Spanish, and American influences shaped Santa Fe as we explore historic streets, quiet courtyards, and lesser-known sites that reveal the city’s true character.
WINTER NOTE: Tours may be canceled in winter if conditions are too cold, windy, or unsafe due to ice or blizzard conditions.

Rebecca was fabulous!

5.00My family and I (10 of us altogether) spent an enjoyable afternoon with Rebecca earlier this month as she walked us through the history of Santa Fe. We were up on our feet for 3 hours—walking through the Plaza, La Fonda, the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, the Miraculous Staircase...—but the time honestly flew by! Rebecca had a gentle, thoughtful way of unfolding the complicated and beautiful history of the region. And despite having done some preliminary research I walked away having learned more than I could have imagined. Even the "history-averse" members of our family loved it, which says so much about how lovely the city is, and how talented our guide.
Overall a simplistic...

3.00Overall a simplistic approach to the history of Santa Fe. Very little information or insight that you couldn’t get from a guide book.

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Rebecca on a beautiful Saturday morning. It was just my daughter and me. We appreciated her willingness to tour with us despite the small group. She knows Santa Fe well and is clearly passionate about history. She provided all sorts of interesting commentary throughout our 2 hour place walk around town. Do not hesitate to book this tour! It was well worth the price and time.
Great Tour
