Sandy’s the best!
Paolo_C, Sep 2023
Sandy guides us around the city, and Travis shadowed her since he’s becoming a guide soon. They were both incredibly well-versed on the city, its history, and the architecture. It was great whenever Sandy explained something, and Travis added on - they would bounce their knowledge back and forth and we learned so much and had a lot of fun. They also had great recs for food, activities, and other places in NM to see. 1000/10 would recommend. Thanks, Sandy and Travis!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We LOVE this review and your 1000/10 glowing recommendation for our guides Sandy and Travis! Both locals and have a true passion sharing their knowledge on tour. Thank you for making Heritage Inspirations part of your visit to Santa Fe touring on our walking tour!
Good tour for rookie or even a local
John_J, Sep 2023
Wonderful tour, as our guide Mary was well informed with an excellent art background. Canyon road has so many galleries, I wasn’t really up for “winging it”. I did the tour in the morning, had lunch, and then hit several galleries on my own as I walked back to the hotel. Thanks Mary!

We love this review title and agree with you! Thank you for experiencing our Santa Fe Architectural Walking Tour and allowing us to be part of your Santa Fe visit!
Sandy was a superb guide....
Eileen_E, Jul 2023
Sandy was a superb guide. I think the tour would have been better without the wine tasting, though. It was a hot day and not the best idea
Response from Host, Jul 2023
We appreciate your review, Sandy is wonderful! We end this tour with the option to do the wine tasting as a signature finish at Gruet Winery. However, if you don't want to do the wine tasting you don't have to. You also have the option to coordinate it later in the day. We hope you enjoy your visit to Santa Fe.
Highly Recommended

Our tour with Ed was absolutely amazing. It was a total of 3 hours of tour that included a complimentary local wine tasting at the end. Our tour guide Ed was extremely knowledgeable as well as both about New Mexican Architecture and history. We got to learn so much from him. Both my husband and I loved this tour. Can’t recommend this tour enough.
Great trip

Pat_M, Jul 2022
Ed was the tour guide and is very knowledgeable of the history and how it inform the architecture. He asked about our interests and was thoughtful in planning the tour to include some spots that catered to our passions (gardening, food, and history). We also worked with Ed on an E-Bike tour two days later and he worked hard to show us new locations and add to what we had learned on the walking tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Ed has an incredible knowledge of Santa Fe and loves to share it, and we're so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with him!

Fantastic Architectural Tour - Santa Fe
Sharon_S, Mar 2022
Our guide, Edward shared so much history on Santa Fe history and architecture which made this tour an amazing experience. Ending the tour at a winery allowed us to meet and enjoy the company of our group. I highly recommend this tour! Lots of walking involved and the streets/sidewalks of Santa Fe can be uneven so if you have limitations this tour might be a challenge.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
We're so happy that you joined us to explore Santa Fe. It was our great pleasure to show you around.
