    We two did the tour on the first morning after we arrived in Santa Fe. We are glad we did, because Ana provided a great introduction to the city that enriched our Santa Fe visit. Her explanation provided us a grasp of Santa Fe's history within the context of Spanish America, Mexico, and the United States. We gained other valuable information as well, including about the rotating Native American artisan merchants who operate in a designated area of Santa Fe Plaza. This tour, which we purchased directly from Ana on her website, was a great value.

    We had always wanted to visit Santa Fe and after 40 years...Finally got around to doing it! Ana's tour was the first thing my wife and I did on our first (of 4) days, and we have commented over & over to each other that we were SO glad we chose to do that! Incredibly knowledgeable with a vibrant delivery, we could have easily spent another couple of hours getting to know more about the "City Different". We've actually taken a variety of tours in our travels over the last 4 decades but I can tell you without hesitation that Ana's was the best one we'd ever been on! (Second place? The "Sound of Music" Tour in Salzburg...) Thanks again for a very fun & educational day, Ana! Sincerely...Rick B, St. George UT

    I would highly recommend Ana’s walking tour. It is an easy walk for everyone, young and old with breaks along the way. Ana knows the history of Santa Fe well and I learned so much . She has also written several books if you care to explore further. She is personable and knowledgeable and her love of Santa Fe is evident. It is a town rich with history and she gives a great overview. This is THE walking tour to take. Thank you Ana for sharing your love of Santa Fe!
