I've done ghost tours in…read moremany places around the U.S., from Gettysburge to Bisbee, AZ, from Monterey, CA to Chicago, and they are usually well done by people who are real ghost/paranormal buffs, as well as history buffs. My complaint about the Historical Walks offering is that the guide, Allan, really wasn't someone who's a paranormal expert or buff, but a historian who seemed to have a very hard time staying on topic--ghosts. He was extremely long-winded about all kinds of historical minutiae, but short on ghost stories. We spent the first hour, an HOUR--just sitting in the La Fonda Hotel lobby while he droned on and on with the "introduction." I literally dozed off. And I love ghost tours and history. The ghost walk was very short--the old hospital and La Posada, and the hanging tree. I'm sure there's lots more in the area, isn't there? At La Posada he spent more time talking about the furniture and chandeliers than the ghost stuff. There are plenty of historical tours, but someone looking for the ghost tour is getting a short shrift with this one. This guide, Allan, seemed to think he was teaching a class rather than acting as a tour guide. In short, it was boring. Also, the promotional cards and website insist guest make advance reservations. I had to call twice to get a call back, and the person calling was extremely rude. Really poor customer service, and a disappointing ghost walk. There are other operators offering ghost walks, including one called "Original Ghost Walk of Santa Fe." I'm going to check that out. In other cities and towns, it is often the original one who is the real expert.

We took this tour on a weekday morning with guide Carol and were very disappointed. She provided…read morescant historical context or really any information on the social, cultural, and economic development of the town and region. She had difficulty telling a linear story and mostly related personal anecdotes about her two children, her husband, her home and which bars served the best Margaritas. She promoted various shops, the owners of which were ostensibly her "friends," and filled the tour time with similar trivia. For five years, I was a tour guide in San Francisco and we received extensive training on how to provide a meaningful experience for our walkers, both substantively and through effective presentation techniques. I've taken walking tours in many cities, and in my experience this was about as poor a tour as I've seen. The fee of $40 was exorbitant in relation to the experience; even if it had been free, I would have considered it largely a waste. Perhaps the other guides in the company are better, but based on this tour, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

We called Nat Shipman and booked a day trip to Taos and a half day to Bandelier National Park. These may have been the best tours I have ever taken on a trip! Nat is a native Santa Fean, and he is a wealth of knowledge, expertise, folksy and interesting stories, and, he makes everything so much fun! He is articulate, well-traveled, and a natural raconteur, who knows a lot about a lot. I now know more about Santa Fe and New Mexico in general than I have ever learned in the many years I have been visiting. We are both quite inquisitive, and that leads to us asking lots of questions. Not only did Nat not seem to mind, but we never asked him a question he couldn't answer! I have already referred Nat to some friends who are visiting Santa Fe next month...I hope they contact him right away, because the word is out, and he is always very busy. I can't wait til next year when we head to Santa Fe again - we are already planning our next excursion with Nat. Gayle and Cheryl Clark

My group of four booked a private Canyon Road Art Tour with our guide Mary, and I'm so glad we did…read more This was my third visit to Santa Fe, and although I'd been to Canyon Road before, I never knew where to start--there are over 80 galleries to choose from. Mary transformed what could have been an overwhelming stroll into a curated, engaging, and educational experience. She guided us through a moveable story of Santa Fe: Native and Indigenous art galleries where we learned more about Santa Fe's history, an artist-in-residence home where we discovered how Canyon Road developed, and contemporary galleries where she introduced us to owners and working artists. Along the way, she also pointed out additional galleries, eateries, cafés, and gardens worth returning to--I took notes and can't wait to visit again. Mary was knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible, making the tour both interactive and accessible. She seemed to know everyone--every gallery owner we visited greeted her--which made us feel like we were walking in with a VIP or a local celebrity. As a matter of fact, I'd book this tour with Mary again on my next visit just to explore more galleries we didn't get to this time. The behind-the-scenes insights, personal introductions, and Mary's thoughtful curation elevated the entire experience and greatly reduced my FOMO. Booking the tour was seamless as well! The operators were a pleasure to work with, very responsive, and flexible in helping us arrange the experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to go beyond simply "looking at art" and really connect with the history, people, and culture of Canyon Road.
