Discover Santa Fe on an intimate small-group walking tour, limited to just 10 guests and guided by Rebecca or Timo. Nothing compares to the conversation and interaction possible in a truly small group.

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.
