Good back story of Santa Fe

5.00Tom is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide. A native of NM, he exudes pride in the state and Santa Fe. We toured the lovely state capital building as well as the charming San Miguel Chapel, the oldest church in the U.S. We learned a great deal about the pueblos, native dances, how the adobe buildings are made and lots of history about Santa Fe.
THE BEST TOUR OF OUR TRIP!!!

5.00Tomas was such a treat to have as our guide. There is no doubt that he loves what he does and really loves people! The highlight of the walk was the tour of the Roundhouse (the Capitol Building). It was magnificent and Tomas had so much knowledge on so many subjects. We look forward to going back next year and will be contacting Tomas to be our private tour guide to hit the opera, some New Mexico Pueblo dances and some evening foodie outings! I highly recommend this tour and I'm pretty sure that Tomas is the only guide that does this specific tour. Definitely request him if you can!
Magnificent Heritage Inspirations Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu Landscapes Day tour from Santa Fe

5.00On Friday August 22, 2025 my husband Vincent and I attended the Heritage Inspirations Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu Landscapes Day tour from Santa Fe with tour guide Fritz Devendorf. This was the very best tour that we ever attended. Seeing the rock formations of the Abiquiu landscape was absolutely magnificent. It was like being on another planet like Mars with huge rocks of all sorts of colors. Why just look at the Georgia O'Keefe paintings in a museum when one can go to see the actual natural landscape that inspired those paintings? This tour was expensive but worth every penny to attend. No one should visit Santa Fe without booking this tour.
Great Guide!

5.00My 2 sisters and I went on a Glamping adventure with Heritage Inspirations. It was the New Moon Tour offered in April, 2025. This was an experience of a lifetime for all. We spent 2 nights in Santa Fe at the Inn of Five Graces, we were treated to a wonderful reception and meal at the Inn. What a treat to have the owners Ira and Sylvia join us. Angelisa and her team took us to Chaco Canyon the next morning early. Luxury in the Wild! Lewis, Fritz and Linda were all amazing tour guides. My favorite was the early morning hike from camp to view the sunrise over Fajada Butte. Then hiking down to a wonderful breakfast from the crew. Amazing crew, they were so helpful and knowledgeable. The meals.and attention to every detail. Thank you Heritage Inspirations! Everyone should experience the wonder of Chaco Canyon!
Great tour

5.00Our guide, Sandra, was incredible. Her wealth of knowledge and way of delivering tidbits without being overwhelming was very well done! She provided a historical backdrop of Santa Fe’s origins which played into every building we saw. It truly gave us a deeper appreciation of what we were seeing. She also read our energy and gave us places to sit in the shade while she continued telling her story so we were able to cover ground without getting tired. A very pleasant person to spend a morning in Santa Fe with! Highly recommend!!

5.00We have done many guided tours and it is always nice to have a guide who loves the topic and is enthusiastic about it. Sandy Katz was that kind of guide. She had a vast knowledge of the architecture and history of the area and seemed to really love telling us about it. She always answered our questions and encouraged more. It was one of our best guided tours.
So many layers of History and architecture of Santa Fe

5.00Sandy was an excellent guide! The history and architecture of Santa Fe is like an onion. Sandy peeled back each layer and shared her knowledge. She showed us photos and maps of old Santa Fe as we walked the streets of downtown and explained in detail the history. It was fascinating. The wine tasting at the end was a great way to relax and enjoy conversations with other members in the group. I highly recommend this tour!
Excellent tour
