Southwest Guides. Learn about the dark side of Santa Fe or discover secrets hidden in the cemeteries of the City Different. Stefanie Beninato, who has a doctorate in history, provides a variety of tour options and uses her experience as a researcher and teacher to strike just the right balance of fun and educational. “Many of the stories are ones that other locals have told me about their own experiences,” she says. “In that way, it’s different from other tours—these stories are more connected to the here and now.” $45–$75.
