A great way to get to know Santa Fe - We really enjoyed our tour in Santa Fe with Jerard. He was very entertaining and knowledgeable of Santa Fe’s history. I had been reading about the region’s history and Jerard’s knowledge of New Mexico’s past really brought it to life. We liked all the places we visited. The Craft Beer, Cocktails, and food at each place were very nice. Jerard kept in touch with us before the tour and even answered a question I had afterwards. It was a great way to spend the day getting to know Santa Fe. I highly recommend this tour with Jerard.

Friends Getaway - Gerard was an exceptional guide, sharing interesting information about the Santa Fe area while intertwining his personal family history having settled there from Spain many generations ago. Be prepared to do some walking, talking, sipping and savoring as you experience the railyard district! Gerard knows how to nurture connections-

Best tour and introduction to Santa Fe! - When I signed up for this tour, I expected your normal tour where the guide tells you information about the city, you learn a few interesting facts, and leave. This tour definitely wowed me. This was a wonderful experience i'll never forget. Jerard taught me so much about Santa Fe and its history which made this trip much more meaningful. He makes the trip personable and fun, while showing you how to live like a local! It was also a great cultural experience. You get to enjoy drinks and food on this tour while learning the background of what you may be eating, viewing, or the people around you. This was honestly the best tour i've ever been on and I will be recommending this to anyone who visits. If you are reading this, Book it. You won't regret it!

Santa Fe food and beverage tour - Gerard is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Started with a brief history of NM and Santa Fe. The food and beverage choices at each stop were enjoyed but our group.
Good choice when in Santa Fe.

Interesting, easy walkabout, combined with excellent food & drinks, very friendly owner/guide - Jerard is the best. A native of New Mexico, he is a wealth of information about the history of New Mexico. The three spots we stopped at for drinks/food were fabulous. As my husband said, think of it as sitting around a campfire with friends sharing stories; it was a casual and fun experience. Easy walkabout. Highly recommend giving your business to this extremely nice young man and his company.

Best tour ever!! - Although we have been to Santa Fe many times and taken tours before, this tour was by far the best ever! Thanks to Jerard, we learned more about the Spanish/Mexican history and influence in Santa Fe - Jerard can trace his ancestry back to one of those folks! Each of the 3 restaurants we visited were unique. Not only did we taste different foods, we also enjoyed a beer or cocktail at each location. We particularly enjoyed the cocktail bar where drinks are served in ceramic vessels made by local potters.
If you want a tour led by a local man who knows the history of the city, the local restauranteurs and unique hidden gems, this is the tour for you!

Excellent experience, highly recommended - This is an excellent food tour. Jerard was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Santa Fe, and shared many interesting and unique stories. He went above and beyond and took us to delicious local food and drink spots, and even brought us homemade biscochitos. We came to the food tour very hungry and left it very full and happy.
