This a must do tour that you will be talking about! - Jerard Virgil of Vigilante Guides was outstanding. He shared his vast knowledge of the history of Santa Fe and drove us to areas that we would never have known about, such as the former location of Fort Marcy, where you can also see over the entire city of Santa Fe. It was a great personalized way to start our visit, age friendly, informative and so many unique facts. The New Mexican cuisine at Tomasita's was an amazing surprise and so enjoyable. This is a must do tour that you will be talking about. Thank you, Ron and Stephanie from Iowa.

Do it. On your first day. Promise! - Gerard crushed it. We have done these tours in numerous cities, and he did a fantastic job. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable. ample supply of grub and beverages. We had a small group today which other operators might have cancelled, but we had a great time. We will return for a future tour when we are back through!
