Meet Karen Childers ~ Karen of Santa Fe

I’m hopelessly in love with Santa Fe, and I love bringing its magic alive on my walking tours! I hope all my guests feel this same affection for our colorful history, rich culture and enchanting adobes.

My walking tours share an insider’s look into this spirited city, and I like to keep the tours small and personal. You’ll experience some “a-ha” moments and feel like you’ve stepped right back into times gone by. Santa Fe’s story comes to life as you discover vibrant tales of our past and get to know our centuries-old local culture.

When I first visited Santa Fe on a long weekend getaway, 25 years ago, I instantly fell in love. Annual vacations here became essential, and my husband and I knew Santa Fe would become our home one day. That dream came true for us in 2013, when we found our perfect spot in the wide-open spaces around Santa Fe. 

For me, Santa Fe’s captivating story came alive during studies with the New Mexico History Museum and the Santa Fe College. Ahead of that, I held leadership positions in the corporate world and with Napa Valley wineries, where I had amazing days leading vineyard tours. 

I’m an avid global traveler myself, and I enjoy connecting with fellow wanderers. Perhaps we can compare notes on our latest discoveries! 

Please come join me, we’ll share some good stories and have a bundle of fun on our Santa Fe Walking Tour!
