My sister and I had an exceptional experience with Elaine who not only knew everything and everyone on Canyon Road but gave us so much of the history of the area plus she was so personable and fun to be with. Highly recommend.

Karen K

This was a wonderful morning with Elaine as our guide…her knowledge of both Canyon Rd and Santa Fe were amazing! Two hours wasn’t enough time, we didn’t want it to end! I highly recommend this experience!

I work in experiential marketing, and took a group of about nine people to Santa Fe on a branded trip. My clients (a group of four marketing folks from the brand) and their guests (five journalists) came in with very little info, but pretty high expectations for the trip. Elaine's tour of Canyon Road was a major highlight of the experience! She was fun, friendly, easy to get along with, and super knowledgable about the history of Santa Fe, the art scene there, and the various artists and galleries along Canyon Road. She was perfectly professional, yet totally warm, and made everyone feel comfortable asking questions, sharing, and exploring. She also went above and beyond to help the brand connect with an artist to create a custom piece for us. It was amazing and we all had a great time!

My friends and I truly enjoyed Elaine’s guidance and expertise. We would have been lost on Canyon Rd by ourselves

Jia_L

Our tour guide was great - very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. She really knew the galleries well and provided some Santa Fe history to put the art in context. We would definitely recommend this tour.

We had heard about the Canyon Road Art community and heard that there were tons of places to go. We did not want to be overwhelmed and opted to sign up for a tour. We met Elaine and she exposed us to a number of different types of art from indigenous to abstract, from paintings to sculpture to pottery and beyond. She had each of us to select what we liked then asked questions to get us to interpret why we liked what we liked. My wife and I liked different things but our discussions went beyond . "I like that". Because this was more than a southwest painting and jewelry excursion we now have tools to appreciate art in any environment. A really good experience.

Elaine was knowledgeable and engaging, we had a great experience and could not rate it more highly. She was creative in her approach and made the tour very interactive. A great morning and we left with a higher appreciation of multiple art forms. Thank you, your professionalism is acknowledged and appreciated.

Santa Fe Downtown is a great visit. Very walkable. Great food most everywhere. The adobe buildings give the place its own unique style and I love the southwest landscape. Several good day trips. We did our best to complete the margarita trail!

Fantastic experience! We learned so much about art on Canyon Road in Santa Fe! We especially enjoyed “The Art of Looking.”
