It's an absolute must-do tour to gain an in-depth understanding of Santa Fe, the surrounding area, and the state of New Mexico.

You'll be left in awe and laughter as you explore this historic and culturally rich city with a humorous touch. Victor is a true gem and an ambassador for the city of Santa Fe. This tour is highly recommended. *This is a fast-paced tour designed to help guests acclimate to the 7,200 ft elevation. Please drink plenty of water in the week leading up to your travel.

History and Laughs with Victor
Road15016489267, October 2026
If I could give this tour more than 5 stars I easily would. Victor was knowledgeable about his state's history. He has done a TON of reserach to enhance his stories and has a GREAT sense of humor. We learned so much about the indiginous people, the city and the state. Victor led a quick but easy pace and he made sure we were all involved in his tour. We really enjoyed the tour and went back to several spots that he suggested. We highly recommend!!!
