We were a bit off put that this tour was during the day but one could see the reasons behind it. The stories Julia told us gave the history of the area more of a fun and light hearted aspect to it. While some of the stories overlapped with what we had been told on our history tour, Julia also took us to some new locations that had some interesting experiences attached to them. Her storytelling skills were good and kept everyone's attention. She also left some space at the end for any questions regarding Santa Fe itself, like places to eat or get drinks at, places to stay at, or things she recommended doing while in the area. We were sad the tour ended a bit early and wanted to hear more stories but Julia was good at connecting with everyone in the group and answering any questions we had.

Local historian and Author Allan Pacheco is the only tour guide in Santa Fe who actually has ghost hunting experience and has investigated many areas over his 30 plus years of being in the Santa Fe area. He personally took us to many places where there was history of apparition sighting and shared photographs of some of his personal hunts, with a few photos that stand out, such as one taken in a local cemetery where a power surge of some kind comes up from the ground (grave site) and fries the circuitry of the camera. This is a rare occurrence and exceptional to capture a photo of it through a second camera while it was occurring. He spent a couple of hours with us walking us around and even though it was a pay for tour I felt that I came away with a friend that I could contact as I needed later.
Not interested in the paranormal?: Allan does historical tours and can leave out the ghostly experiences for the squeamish if requested. He is the author of several "easy read" history books on the Santa Fe area. Grab one for the ride home on the plane and your flight will go by quick, as our's did.
PS: Allan also has experience in keeping the local beggars at bay while on the tour and they can be pesky in the plaza areas after dark. For the most part they recognize him as a local and will leave your group alone. We never felt threatened while walking the streets at night on this tour. Because of many narrow stairways of the buildings, I don't believe that this tour would be handicapped friendly and you should contact him for the minimum age that he would like to see on his tours.
