When I was a young man my father would take my brother and I on trips from Albuquerque NM to Colorado to visit relatives. Along the way dad would stop at every road-side historic sign and take pictures of us standing in front of the markers. I was always intrigued with the photography my father did on his Kodak Brownie camera as well as with the historical information listed at each stop. Apparently I was influenced by both because as an adult I became a Historian and Park Ranger for the National Park Service and also an award winning Professional Photographer. These days, I have a great love and passion for taking people to different sites sharing historical information and great appreciation for the scenery, landscapes and beauty throughout our fine State of New Mexico. Please join me on a hike, walk, photo excursion, Steam Engine train ride, photography outing or to plan a half day, full day, or custom multi-day tour just for you and your group. BA degree in Communication and American Studies with concentration in History of the Santa Fe Trail, University of New Mexico.- Former Site Historian and Park Ranger National Park Service. - Lifetime resident of New Mexico.

Santa Fe is the oldest Capital City in the USA at 412 years old! The Plaza and the Palace of the Governors were built in 1610 making It the oldest continually occupied government building in the country. Besides visiting the famous Santa Fe Plaza this tour will allow you to take in the flavor of the past, the spirit of the town, and the rich culture of the people. This tour focuses on the History and Culture of Santa Ee and northern New Mexico. The history, food, culture, music, and celebration are magical.
Our tour guide Migel was a former history teacher for the National Parks. As such his knowledge had extreme depth. His explanation of the different tribes and Spanish conquerors was extensive. He was very nice and accommodating to my slower pace. His skill at imitations of people's accents, animal noises etc. added humor to his lectures. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone serious about the history of the area.
The tour to Santa Fe did not disappoint. It was well planned out with stops along the way. The train ride was very comfortable and the views were great. Miguel is loaded with historical information and references. He is a fun and knowledgeable tour guide.
We had the pleasure of having a tour of Santa Fe with Miguel . The tour was excellant. He gave us a detailed over view of the history of the City of Santa Fe and then we proceeded with a walking tour of the highlights of the City. Overall it was an informative and delightful experience
