Artours in Taos, NM, located at Paseo del Pueblo Sur, is just what the name implies. Artours provides art tours of different craftsmen shops and galleries. This is a great way to spend part of your vacation, especially if you're interesting in art. The Artours provide custom group tours specifically geared towards the arts. The tours consist of a visit to many of the local museums where the guests can see the works of many popular artists. Some of the museums are the A. Millicent Rogers Museum, Kit Carson House & Museum, Hacienda Martinez, Governor Bent House & Museum, The Fechin Institute and more.
Although Artours makes their main emphasis on art, they are slowly, but surely, expanding their horizon by increasing the subjects of their art tours. They are now expanding them to include language, music and culinary tours. These tours are not just for the experienced connoisseur, but are designed for the novice, intermediate art lover as well as the intellectually curious. Their goal is to learn about the different perspectives of the culture, arts and history of the world. If you feel you may not be interested in some parts of the tour, Artours will be happy to custom-design a tour that will interest you, especially if you are part of a group, which is their specialty.
If you're interested in making your visit to Artours last more than a day, there is some excellent lodging nearby. Some of the places worth checking our are Comanche Inn, American Artists Gallery House and Sun God Lodge.
