Private 2.5h Walking Tour to Discover Santa Fe
Overview
Get to know Santa Fe on this private introductory walking tour of New Mexico’s vibrant, multicultural capital. Begin at Santa Fe Plaza, the city’s historic heart, and explore landmarks like the Palace of the Governors, where the Pueblo Revolt began in 1680, and San Miguel Mission, the oldest church in the U.S. Discover the city's rich blend of Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and American cultures, reflected in its cuisine, crafts, and adobe architecture. Visit the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis and hear the story of the “miraculous staircase” at Loretto Chapel. Walk De Vargas Street to see Santa Fe’s oldest adobe house, and uncover a hidden link to the Manhattan Project along Palace Avenue.
