Santa Fe Footprints is a veteran-owned and operated tour agency providing guided walking tours, hikes, and outdoor experiences across parts of Northern New Mexico. Led by veteran guide Bob Ackenhausen and local naturalist Terry, the company focuses on delivering insights into the region's unique architecture, diverse culture, history, and natural ecology. I took a friend's suggestions and booked an historical walking tour of the Plaza area of Santa Fe on our first morning here. I've been to Santa Fe several times over the years, but individual touring often doesn't go deep enough as you sometimes walk by something without much thought. Some examples of that during our Santa Fe Footprints tour was Burro Alley, the Spitz Clock, and the Solders Monument. Our guide for our 2 hour deep dive was Terry. We were impressed with his knowledge and insights, and I'm sure Gayle and I will see him again when we return to Santa Fe next year. Other choices may include the Botanical Garden, History Museum, Bandelier, and other "hidden" treasures. read more

Santa Fe Footprints Tours - Walking Tours Near Me

Let me preface this by saying my husband and I have been to Santa Fe many times. For a change, we decided to do a historical walking tour. Bob Ackenhausen and Santa Fe footprints were fantastic. First off, Bob is super responsive to email and texts. Bob greeted us at Henry and the Fish at 900am. He's relaxed and puts you at ease. The next two hours were delightful. We learned so much American, Spanish and Mexican history. It was not a lot of walking however there were so many interesting tidbits along his route. Bob is extremely knowledgeable and we totally recommend him. Santa Fe is a wonderful town and thanks to Bob, we'll have wonderful memories!!! read more
