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.

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

5.00We had a knowledgeable tour with Teemu and learned many things about Santa Fe we would not have known if we didn’t go on this walking tour. He was detailed in everything he spoke about. He also was able to answer any history question we threw at him. :)

5.00Excellent tour that focuses on the history of Santa Fe. Includes walking to some of the key historical sites and entering some but not all of them. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting.
How Santa Fe evolved

5.00Thorough explanation of the history of the area with all resident cohorts represented in the discussion, not only centuries ago but also ongoing modern issues. Our guide Rebecca gave us great recommendations for dining and shopping along the way. She also dealt deftly with a few guests who chose not to engage as much as the rest of her cohort.
Great tour of Santa Fe!
