My neighbor Donna, her dog and I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful walking tour! Bob is a great history buff and had so much knowledge about Santa Fe.We spent 2 hours with him and another couple (2 more fellows joined us part way through). He explained the evolution of the architecture, the important buildings and the history that we had no clue about before hand. Lucky for us it was a perfect day for the tour, not too hot or too cold with beautiful blue skies and sunshine. We highly recommend you take this tour. He doesn't charge anything, just let's you pay what you think it's worth at the end. Don't skimp on the tip! It's worth at least as much if not more than other guides charge!! You will love the Miraculous Staircase in the Loretto Chapel!

Victoria was an excellent guide! She had great energy, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and very in tune with the local art scene and galleries. She provided a great overview of the Santa Fe art scene with just the right amount of historical context

Our yoga group is visiting Santa Fe this week, I did some research and chose Santa Fe Footprints for our walking tour of Santa Fe. Bob was wonderful to work with in the planning for this group activity, he answered emails quickly and was a pleasure to work with. The tour lasted about two hours and was full of information about the history, architecture and folklore of the area. Because our group was quite large, Bob divided us into two groups, we all had a chance to ask questions and get close enough to him to hear what he was saying, something that doesn’t always happen on walking tours!
I highly recommend Santa Fe footprints for your introduction to Santa Fe.

We toured the Santa Fe historic plaza today with Terry and we learned so much and enjoyed our time with him tremendously. I use a mobility scooter and notified Terry before hand and he insured that the curb cutouts were always available on our route. He was so excited about history and had so much to share. He was funny as well! It was a perfect way to learn the history of Santa Fe! I recommend him 100%!

What an amazing walking tour we experienced with Bob. You can tell that he loves the city of Santa Fe. We learned about the history of Santa Fe as well as informative tidbits during each of our stops. Hands down - one of the best tours I’ve taken!

If you want an interesting few hours in a very charming unique town, I say go no further!!
Bob Ackenhausen and Santa Fe Footprints is your ticket!
After going to Santa Fe many times, we decided a walking tour describing the history
was in order.
It was very last minute for us. Bob was super
responsive on email and text the night before!
We met at 900am at Henry and the Fish.
On schedule, Bob was there to greet us!
He’s relaxed and his good nature immediately puts you at ease.
The next two hours were delightful.
We learned so much Spanish, American and Mexican history. There was not a lot of walking
however we learned so many interesting tidbits about Santa Fe.
Bob is extremely knowledgeable and we totally recommend him.
Santa Fe is a wonderful town and thanks to Bob we’ll have wonderful lasting memories!!!

Victoria was a great tour guide. She had interesting history and lots of great insights into the art and artists. We really enjoyed her tour and recommend her for any future tour in Santa Fe. She even gave us a great recommendation for lunch after the tour.

Terry Foreback did a fantastic job on our tour. Interesting stories and bottomless knowledge on lots of topics . Spoke at length on several subjects brought up by the group. He made Santa Fe come alive with his background stories and fun facts.
He also does car tours and history museum tours. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Bob, was quite informative. We enjoyed learning about the rich history of Santa Fe as we walked through the downtown area. He also recommended additional sites for us to visit on our own. We followed his advice and were not disappointed. Highly recommend this walking tour!

We took a 2 hour tour with bob through Santa Fe and it was a phenomenal experience. Bob is so knowledgeable about the past and present of Santa Fe. Bob covered the history and architecture of the city and answered our many questions (on subjects ranging from the Pueblo Revolt to local restaurants, shops and hiking trails). He is kind and caring, packing extra jackets just in case anyone forgot one (it was a particularly chilly spring day). I absolutely recommend taking a tour with Bob!!
