See Santa Fe Through Local Eyes
Santa Fe Walking Tours & Driving Tours That Help You Live Like a Local
Want to see the real Santa Fe? We'll show you our city the way locals do. I'm Jerard, and my family's been here for 15 generations. We know where to go and what stories to tell. Our Santa Fe walking tours, driving tours, and day trips aren't just about checking off tourist spots. They're about understanding why this place is so special.

Hi, We're Vigilante Guides
I started this company because I love Santa Fe and I love meeting people. Simple as that. After growing up here and seeing how many visitors miss the good stuff, I figured there had to be a better way to show people around.
We do Santa Fe walking tours around the historic Plaza, Santa Fe Railyard tours through the arts district, and driving tours that get you out to places most people never see. Every tour is different because every group is different. Tell us what you're curious about and we'll make sure you get answers.
Tours That Matter
Santa Fe Walking Tours
Let's walk around together and talk about this place. Our Santa Fe Plaza tours will show you buildings that are hundreds of years old and explain why they're still standing. Plus, we'll stop at three local spots for food, drinks, and those rooftop views everyone talks about.
Our Santa Fe Railyard tours take you through the arts district with stops at three of our favorite local places for craft beer, ciders, and New Mexico specialties. We always end with Sil's Bizcochitos—the state cookie that you can't get anywhere else. Don't drink? No problem, we've got non-alcoholic options at every stop.
Santa Fe Driving Tours & Day Trips
Sometimes the best parts of New Mexico are outside the city. We'll take you up the scenic High Road to Taos, stopping at the famous Santuario de Chimayó and ending at places like Taos Pueblo or the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.
Want something different? Try our wine country tour with tastings at three local wineries, or join us for the Ghost Ranch adventure where you'll hike (or take a landscape tour), eat lunch, and paint your own Georgia O'Keeffe-inspired masterpiece while sipping local wine. We drive our comfortable Mercedes-Benz van, you relax and enjoy the incredible scenery.
Private Tours
Got a group with specific interests? Want to celebrate something special? Let's design a tour just for you. We've done everything from family reunions to corporate team building. Just tell us what you have in mind.
