I ordered this guide because I was planning to be in the area and I thought I might pop over to Taos for a couple of days. But after perusing this guide for an hour I knew that I could not just spend a couple of days. I'd be in the area again next year and would plan a long trip. Taos/Santa Fe/Albuquerque is not an area to zip through. This looks like a place to stay a while and savor.
Although I have some reservations, on the whole I think this guide should be quite useful. I got several ideas for my trip while looking at it. For example, when I saw that the area is accessible by Amtrack, I began to entertain the possibility of taking the train at least one way. (Flying is not a lot of fun these days.) There is also a New Mexican rail line from Taos to Albuquerque. When I saw that one can rent bicycles in some locations, I have determined to include at least one day of cycling, rather than hiking a nature trail! What I like about this guide are the suggested day trips (which can save a lot of planning time), the museum listings (complete with prices, hours and web addresses), and the suggestions for activities.
From my previous experience with Fodor's guides, I think they tend to cater to well-heeled couples who prefer the beaten track. I'm very suspicious of the recommendations for dining and lodging, as in the travel industry lots of perks are given to travel writers that are not given to the general public. Sometimes the recommendations border on advertising. What's missing are those places that might appeal to people other than the retired couple with unlimited funds. When I travel I want to eat where the locals eat.Read more ›

This is just what I wanted! We were in Santa Fe for just a few days and we found the advice in this book very helpful. we got the eBook version and were happy with it. Easy to search and it's right there on my phone. We found the opinions to be right on!

This was a perfect companion book for our trip to Santa Fe last week. We used the downtown map more than anything. I found that there were lots of really good restaurants that were not included in the book. But this was very helpful to keep in my purse and use as we walked around town.

I never leave town without a Fodor's guide. My first one was Europe on $5 a day in 1971!!! The reviews are always right on and the maps and walking guides are so helpful. Love, love , love them!
