    We so enjoyed our time with Sam today. His stories and visuals (including his own drawings), together with walking around to the sites, brought the history of Taos to life. It was interesting to visit several galleries of local art and to actually meet a couple of the artists. I hope to come back to Taos, I will engage Sam again. I suspect he has many more stories to tell.

    Enjoyed Sam’s stories, personality and humor. Also, he took an interest in our group members. Only suggestion for improvement would be to speak a little louder. Sometimes traffic noise drowned out his voice. Overall, very enjoyable.

    Sam who is a vet, artist, makes jam AND a storyteller was a delightful and informative guide. Yes, he took us into some art galleries but Taos’ evolving history is woven into artist who came and changed the timbre of the city. We were really glad to have had this experience with Sam. Oh and yes, we were a group of 8 but none fo that impacted the enjoyment of the tour.

    As others have said, this is NOT a private tour, which I thought I was paying for. I was surprised and not particularly happy that we spent time in several private galleries (which is my bad for not carefully reading the info on this site). We also went into an artist's collective, where Sam led us to his own artwork. Also as others have mentioned, there was no real pressure to buy but I felt a bit uncomfortable. The entire tour was in an area directly around the plaza which was fine since there's a lot of history close in. Sam also gave us a reading list. It was all okay but I can only give a 3 out of 5.

    Sam did a fantastic job on our tour. He took us into several galleries giving us info on the owner/artist before we entered. The artists provided background and details about their work. Sam was entertaining and so knowledgeable about Taos history. He gave us a challenge to see a few movies involving Taos scenes and the actors involved in the movies. Also a written list of books about Taos that we could read to learn more. Sam was indeed a tour guide extraordinaire! This tour is worth every penny and more. I encourage everyone who will visit Taos to book this tour!
