Private Walking Tour Of Old Town Santa Fe

2 Hours & 30 Minutes
All year round

Located in Northern New Mexico, Santa Fe is brimming with history and culture. On your private guided tour of Santa Fe, you will:

Begin in Santa Fe Plaza and orient yourself with the city’s layout, including seeing the Palace of Governors, which is one of the country’s oldest continually operational municipal buildings.
Learn some of the history and present realities of several Native American nations, whose lands are spread throughout much of New Mexico.
Understand the relationship of the many cultures melding in the city – American, Native American, Mexican, and Spanish, and the role of Catholicism in the city.
See the oldest church in America, while understanding the role of Catholicism in the city, as you visit San Miguel Chapel, Loretto Chapel, and The Cathedral Basilica of St Francis of Assisi.
Visit the De Vargas Street House – the oldest house in Santa Fe, built in the traditional adobe style, which is now a free two-room museum.
Indulge in the vibrant colours of the crafts on display throughout your tour, and learn about how being the third-largest art market in America has influenced the city’s identity.

Images of purple sunsets against desert-washed scenery, dramatic turquoise and vibrant paintings, giant plates of black beans and red rice with various tacos – Santa Fe is a treasure trove of culture with something for everyone. The city’s 400 years of history and its complex social fabric have made the city a favourite spot for travellers to return to year after year. The adobe architecture throughout the historic district makes it unlike any other American city and inspires curiosity about how the trade is preserved.

On your private walking tour, your guide will explain the history of New Mexico and its enduring relationship with Mexico. Learn about the beautiful jewelry, tapestries, weavings, paintings, folk art, and photography – a mecca for art enthusiasts.

Your guide will happily point you in the direction of the best eateries in town to make sure each meal you have is better than the last. Learn about the secrecy of the Second World War era’s Manhattan Project, and see the spot along Palace Avenue where those headed to Los Alamos were routed through.

Your tour finishes near Santa Fe Plaza, where your guide will share all his or her favourite hidden treasures throughout the city, and how you can best navigate them during the remainder of your stay.
