Great Facts - I went as a part of a group of graduate students from St. John's College. The guide was jovial, personable, fun, and loud when he needed to spread the great facts. I loved learning that the smaller doors around the area were not because the people were tiny, it was because they were more easily defended but that changed when the railroad got there circa 1880 and stronger building material could be brought easily. How cool is that? If you liked that fact, there's plenty more where that came from, and it's this tour.

Great over all review of the Plaza area - Deep dive premier walking tour . This was a great coverage of the highlights to help orientate yourself if you’re visiting Santa Fe for the first time. You can return to any of the locations to spend more time on your own. Owner Jerard Vigilante was very easy to contact, and flexible with our scheduling due to weather. Guide Paul Hillman Was very entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He even entertained us with self taught Native American flute music. It also was the best value of any general walking tour I researched.
