Sam had stories that brought old Taos to light in surprising and humorous ways. He carried a packet of images to make his stories more pointed. We talked with some folks who are part of contemporary Taos. Thanks, Sam!

Sam was personable, very knowledgeable, and funny. The tour was entertaining and educational. Highly recommended!

We (6 friends) customized our High Road to Taos tour by extending it to a full day experience. Our guide, Mickey, was the highlight of the day. Her knowledge of the history of this enchanted area and cultural references made the trip memorable. Thanks for a fabulous day.

Memorable experience with a knowledgeable guide. We heard stories from both the past and present. And what a colorful place Taos was—and is! Sam brought photos and drawings (his own, as he is an artist) to illustrate what he told us. He also gave us suggestions of restaurants and shops. He seems to know everybody in town!

Sam, the guide, was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Learned a lot on the history of the area. Great tour.

Spent a wonderful day in Taos. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Had a private tour at Taos Pueblo. Beautiful views of the gorge. Private tour of Millicent Rogers Museum. Our tour guide was an art history major and knew a lot. This tour took us to everything we wanted to see.

This was such a fun experience! I met my lifelong friend and her husband in Red River for the weekend. We spent all day Sunday having fun with the Red River Scavenger Hunt. It’s supposed to be two hours long but we wanted to continue finishing all the scavenger hunt missions and could do that at no extra cost. We played with it all day! Things I wouldn’t have done if I hadn’t been on the scavenger hunt: 1. Visited a candy store and re-experience the candy of my childhood! Some of it was as delicious as I remembered, some not. 2. Ridden the ski lift to take beautiful pictures at the top. 3. Visited a haunted hotel. 4. Pretended to do yoga at the park (we are all 69 years old, out shape and fat so it was hilarious!) 5. Had a peanut butter and banana milkshake. 6. Skipped rocks on the river. 7. Explored a ghost town. I’ve been to Red River many times but this was a new way to experience it! I went to places and saw things that I didn’t even know existed before. The scavenger hunt was a blast! The hosts, Kate and Trisha, stayed in contact with us throughout the day and cheered us on. Try it out! I want there to be one in my town (Los Alamos) now!

My husband and I did the scavenger hunt and had a blast!! The hunt was a great blend of nature, history, and interacting with the locals. Definitely worth the price and would highly recommend! Wart comfortable shoes for grass and pavement 😊.

This tour made us fall in love with Taos! We did the artisan walking tour. Our tour guide, Leslie, had lived in Taos for 25 years and had a wealth of art knowledge. She knew the artists in town and was able to introduce us to a lot of great people and places. Our favorite part of the tour was visiting one of the artists in his studio and hearing his passion for art and Taos. We learned so much about art, history, and the city from her. She also gave us great food/drink/shopping recommendations for the rest of our visit. Leslie made our visit to Taos so special and walking around the city with her was like learning from a fun friend! We can’t wait to do it again!

My daughter booked this tour because she knows how much I love chocolate and it sounded interesting. It was a truly phenomenal experience! We had an immersive introduction to the art scene and the history of textiles and weaving in Taos. Our fabulous guide Lizzy shared her passion, knowledge, and personal connections to the artists and artisans we met along the tour. The pace was relaxed and the people she introduced us to along the way were fascinating. We might have wandered into some of these places on our own but we never would have seen Taos the way we did without Lizzy. She recommended Medley for dinner and we had a memorable and fabulous foodie experience. At the chocolate shop we had drinking chocolate for the first time! A must do experience! Well worth

Tara was very sweet and engaging. She was easy to contact and very helpful. She consistently checked in with us. The scavenge hunt was fun and interactive.

Tara’s personalized expedition for our family went well beyond our expectations! We were seeking to recharge and reconnect, and explore Taos nature in a unique way off the beaten path. Tara’s well thought out plan for us definitely did the trick!With her local connections, we were able to experience some beautiful private areas along the river owned by a wonderful artist couple who allowed us to explore on our own as long as we wanted. The hiking trails were also amazing and different from the norm. You can go a short distance or longer—whatever you’re up for.The mission was full of diverse activities that suit any personality, and you can choose as little or as much as you want. This experience was absolutely perfect and got our vacation off to a great start! Thank you, Tara!!!

A very fun creative and physical activity. We spent 45 minutes to an hour visiting with Arthur Glenhill studio and explored the artwork on the grounds of the banks of the Rio Grande. We also viewed the artwork in his house, chatted with his lovely wife Diane and completed our creative missions assigned by Tara. We then headed off to our hike, it was a hike of moderate difficulty, 4 miles, nice views above the river, watch the cactus, and the temps. If it’s going to be hot, go earlier in the morning but know that that times are flexible. Great time!
