Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the private tour in Santa Fe? Is it mostly walking?

A: Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes since you’ll cover quite a bit of ground! The tour is mostly walking, and the adobe streets can be uneven. I'd suggest dressing in layers too because it can get pretty warm during the day but cooler in the evenings. Don’t forget your sunscreen and a hat if it’s sunny!

Q: Can you give me insights on the Museum of Art included in the tour? What should I expect?

A: The Museum of Art in Santa Fe is incredible! You’ll find a mix of contemporary and traditional pieces that showcase the region's unique culture. Your guide will give you a solid overview of its highlights, but then you can explore at your own pace. Definitely check out the local artists’ section—there's some stunning work there.

Q: How do I reschedule if something comes up? Is it easy to change the date?

A: Rescheduling is pretty straightforward! Just contact the provider, Travel Curious, through their website or customer service. They’re usually pretty flexible, but I’d recommend doing it as soon as you know to avoid last-minute hiccups. Just remember to double-check their policy on cancellations too!

Just did the Santa Fe Old Town tour—so much fun!

I went on the private tour last week and it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable. Exploring the Palace of the Governors and hearing about the Manhattan Project ties was fascinating. Loretto Chapel’s staircase is a must-see! The Museum of Art at the end was a perfect way to wrap it up. Definitely recommend this as a gift for anyone into art or history. It felt personalized and special.

Considering gifting the Santa Fe tour—thoughts?

I’m looking at this private tour for my parents' anniversary, and it sounds perfect! They love art and history. Just wondering if you guys think it’s suitable for older folks? They can walk a bit but not super far.
