Most stops along the tour have animated videos allowing you to visualize what you cannot see, such as snapshots from different centuries or interior rooms.

Your journey begins at the San Miguel Chapel, the oldest church in the U.S., where you'll uncover stories of its past. Next, marvel at the architectural wonder of the Loretto Chapel and its legendary Miracle Staircase. Stroll down E Water St, delving into the tales of Spanish settlers, and stop by the magnificent Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.

Along the way, you’ll learn about Po'pay and his daring revolt against the Spanish. Hear about the warriors who besieged the Palace of the Governors and find out what happened after the dust finally cleared. Along the way, you’ll stroll through the bustling Santa Fe Plaza, which still looks much like it did during the days of Spanish rule!

Indulge in a delightful detour to chocolate and cashmere in downtown Santa Fe—a building which harbors a secret history you’ll never guess!

Finally, you’ll head toward Fort Marcy Park and hear how New Mexico ultimately became property of the United States. You’ll ascend to the Cross of the Martyrs, offering sweeping views of this mountain capital’s gorgeous downtown. Your tour concludes here.
