Must do Santa Fe Art Tour - This was a great tour. Elaine was a wonderful tour guide. She gave us a new appreciation for the art and we even learned how to look at and interpret different pieces of art. She is so knowledgeable and able to bring the history of the art alive too. I think this is a must do when visiting Sante Fe.

This was my second tour... - This was my second tour with Canyon Rd. Art and History Walking Tour and I enjoyed it as much as the first in 2019. Mary was a great host full of interesting facts about NM culture and the information and connections to the galleries and art were a real plus.
