5.00Met with Gustavo at the designated place to learn more about the special significance of the many artistic presentations of Our Lady of Guadalupe throughout Santa Fe. We learned about current street art, both city approved and “impulsively created.” We saw many images in the Farmers’ Market, the city, the old barrio and spent a lot of time at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The walking tour was interesting and well researched. Information was presented from a nondenominational point of view but it is evident that “Our Lady” chooses certain people to spread her message of love and acceptance. There was a lot of walking through the city and the tour lasted over three hours. There was a lot of information shared with us. It would not be easy for anyone with mobility issues or young children but we enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about Santa Fe and the importance of Our Lady of Guadeloupe to the inhabitants of Santa Fe.
Engaging and thoughtful tour!

5.00I wasn’t sure what to expect since I haven’t been on a tour in quite some time. It was a beautiful day and I was impressed with Gustavo’s knowledge and preparation. I learned so much and I enjoyed my tour.
Beautiful way to see Santa Fe.

5.00Our tour with Gustavo was a significant part of my first visit to New Mexico. I knew very little of Our Lady of Guadalupe prior to our tour, and left with so much - as other tour participants have commented, Gustavo is an extremely knowledgable and engaging leader. As a Canadian, I was particularly saddened to learn that families in this community are searching for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, much like too many Indigenous family members in Canada search for and hope for the return of their missing family members, and grieve the loss of those who will not return. I look forward to hearing of Gustavo's future ventures, and wish him continued success.
A must while visiting Santa Fe!

5.00I learned so much on this tour about Guadalupe, Santa Fe, Mexico, and more. Gustavo is an excellent guide and showed us a variety of Guadalupe images ranging from historic depictions in churches, to neighborhood ceramic tiles, and even more casual expressions. He really took the time to explain the history but also current artistic interpretation and context. His knowledge and passion for the topic really shows. I appreciated the variety of spaces that we visited and the pace of the tour. I learned more about Santa Fe itself and enjoyed walking through one of the neighborhoods - it deepened my sense of the place. This is the best walking tour I've ever done. I've already recommended the tour to two friends who will be in Santa Fe in October.
Very passionate informed walking tour and guide

5.00Recently my husband and I had the privilege of participating in Gustavo's Our Lady of Guadalupe Walking Tour and it was an enriching experience. For anyone visiting Santa Fe looking for an excursion that combines spirituality, art, and local culture this tour would make an outstanding choice. Gustavo's dedication for this topic is evident from the first moment you begin your tour. His insightful commentary delves deeply into Our Lady of Guadalupe's historical significance while making it accessible for people regardless of religious background. Personally, I never knew Our Lady of Guadalupe originally had a crown, and I've grown up knowing about Our Lady practically my whole life. This tour allows visitors to appreciate both artistry and history of this region while at the same time engaging in spiritual exploration. Gustavo introduced us to the works of Santa Fe artist Carlos Cervantes at Louis Montano Park, adding a contemporary and vibrant element to our understanding of Santa Fe culture and history. Gustavo's knowledge about Cervantes was both fascinating and informative. Overall, Gustavo's tour is an outstanding way to learn about Santa Fe's rich heritage, with something for every visitor's interests: spiritual or simply artistic/cultural. Highly recommended as an enriching and enjoyable experience!
