Heritage Inspirations New Mexico Private Tours are designed to unveil and illuminate the rich multi-cultural elements that can only be discovered in the Land of Enchantment. Like each of our Day Tours, we are committed to crafting experiences that uphold a comprehensive storytelling narrative while introducing you to our ancestral heritage, traditional artists and our beloved cultural partners. Our focus and style on each tour is an offering of interpretive dialogue, educational enrichment and taking you off the beaten path as we share our dynamic historical and modernity layers of our living heritage.

With your Private Tour, enjoy the exclusivity and expertise of our exceptional local guides navigating you on a road less traveled. Intended for the intrepid traveler who prefers to have the tour all to yourself with an intimate and personal lens, these tours invite the opportunity to travel with your guide on a one-on-one tour setting. These tours are offered as a buyout and priced accordingly to accommodate your group of up to 8 guests inclusive of comfortable transportation. Our Private Tours are not part of our regular Regional Tour Schedule, please contact tours@heritageinspirations.com directly to inquire about availability and include the Tour Title in your subject and we will get back with you within 24-48 hours upon your request.

Heritage Inspirations is about “inspiring” travel experiences throughout our “heritage” in New Mexico. We believe that New Mexico is the foreign country of the United States and you can’t remove culture from our state. Book your Private Tour with us to create one of the most memorable and enchanted encounters of travel that will leave a meaningful impression on your soul.
