About this activity

Limited to just 10 guests, our Santa Fe small-group history walking tour offers a personal, interactive experience guided by Rebecca or Timo. With a truly small group, you're never lost in the crowd. There's time for questions, conversation, and enjoying the experience together. Enjoy a relaxed pace with plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way.

Discover the history, culture, architecture, and stories that make Santa Fe “The City Different.” Stroll through historic downtown and explore Santa Fe Plaza, Loretto Chapel, San Miguel Chapel—often called the oldest church in the United States—and beautiful Sena Plaza, along with hidden corners many visitors miss.

Learn how Native American, Spanish, and American influences shaped Santa Fe as we walk its historic streets and courtyards.

Tour length is approximately 3 hours and may vary slightly depending on group size and guest interaction.

Winter tours may be canceled due to extreme cold, wind, ice, or blizzard conditions.
