A few issues

2.00I would really like to have said the whole experience was wonderful but I simply can’t. The tour guide should change a few habits or traits in my opinion. In a post-covid world, respecting physical distance between others, not touching others on the arms and shoulders and , frankly, a little less cursing or course- language would be advised and certainly appreciated. I know I’m in the exception rather than the rule here and others may not have been so offended as I was but that is my opinion. And in potential response to “the guest should have said something”, it’s not the guests responsibility to potentially embarrass themselves by objecting to such things publically. It’s the tour guides responsibility not to create the need for such a statement.
Victor is a very knowledgeable and engaging guide!

5.00Victor is a fantastic guide, so knowledgeable about the city of Santa Fe! I learned so much in a short period of time and got to see the best of downtown. I plan to bring family and friends with me the next time I visit just to take this tour. Thanks, Victor!

5.00This tour is well-worth taking. Our tour guide, Victor, had tremendous knowledge of Santa Fe's history and culture, as well as an obvious pride in his people and his home, that was contagious. He delved deeply into interesting anecdotes and full stories of the lore of the area, that gave us a deep appreciation for the town that we were visiting (Santa Fe). He even extended our tour by an hour, without hesitation, in order to share more places/stories with us. Victor is a pro; and we highly recommend this tour!
It was very informative...

5.00Victor is so knowledgeable, and he imparts this knowledge with a wealth of interesting anecdotes. This is the best tour I have ever been on, and you won't regret choosing it. He accommodates all participants' needs (we even had a little dog on our tour for part of the time!) Great hints on places to go and see after the tour, wonderful tips on photos, I can't say enough about how wonderful this one was.
