Tomas Gallegos was a wonderful guide for our walk around Santa Fe. We saw many things we would not have otherwise known about, particularly all the spectacular artwork in the capital building. Tomas was also great in explaining the unique character of both New Mexico and Santa Fe.

Our tour guide here in Santa Fe was outstanding. He provided a great overview of the City and the Pueblo culture. I highly recommend him (Tom Gallegos) and do this on your 1st day in Santa Fe. It truly gives you all of the insight to know where to shop, eat, sightsee and have drinks! The only negative is that the Tour Provider (Viator) changed the location as to where we were supposed to meet. They told the guide but not us! Made for confusion…..Elizabeth_W

We loved seeing the churches and hearing the history It seemed like the guide was taking us in stores that maybe he would get a kickback on any sales we made. No proof of this, just a feeling He personally and ours just didn’t gel
