I was here and the guide was not. he told me later he was at the doctors in Santa Fe and must have been a mix-up with Viator but would get me a refund.
Brief but good
MaryFaith_R, May 2023
The tour was a bit brief. I wish we saw more. I really enjoyed what we saw. I wanted more culture and history, less art. Sam was pleasant and engaging!

Sam!
MaryKay_D, May 2022
Sam was an excellent tour guide! He was knowledgeable and also funny/tactful when sharing provocative information. If we had not taken the tour, we would not have known much of the history of Taos. Definitely would recommend to others.

Fun, brief but rich Taos walking tour.

Our guide shared local color and character stories. That added so much to the experience. And he was, of course, able to recommend other things to see, do and eat!
