Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join this walking tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but younger kids might not get as much from the history lessons. I took my 10-year-old, and they really enjoyed it! Ana was great at keeping her engaged. Just make sure they can walk a bit since it’s a two-hour tour.

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Is it strenuous?

A: Wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking a lot on uneven surfaces. The tour isn’t strenuous, but it’s best to dress in layers. I went in early spring and ended up taking off my jacket halfway through. Also, don’t forget sunscreen since you’ll be outside!

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up last minute?

A: Yes, Ana is pretty flexible with rescheduling! Just give her a heads-up as soon as you can. I had to change my date, and it was really easy to work with her. Just make sure to check her availability for the new date you want.

Just booked a walking tour with Ana Pacheco!

I’m so excited! I’ve heard so many great things about Ana and her knowledge of Santa Fe history. The signed book included just sweetens the deal! I’m taking my parents who love history. Has anyone else done this? Any tips for what to expect?

Thinking of gifting the Santa Fe walking tour

I’m considering this as a gift for my history-loving brother. He’s coming to visit next month. Do you think it’s suitable for someone who’s not super into walking? Any thoughts on how tough the tour is?
