Coffee, Pie and a Little Shopping
Swing into Soma Coffee House before or after your tour for coffee, a pastry, a piece of pie or a breakfast burrito. Great coffee, great menu and great service. Open Tuesday to Friday 6am to 4pm, weekends 7:30am to 5pm.
Stop in at The Merc for a drink or a snack before your tour. It is a great little grocery store that is big on charm. Open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm.
For a meal before or after your tour, try Blade's Bistro or Placitas Pizza, and stop by the Wild Hearts Gallery for New Mexican art.
Pickup in Albuquerque or at the Hyatt Tamaya
We can pick your party up at your hotel within the Albuquerque city limits for $45 per Jeep. Your tour length is unaffected, but the pickup adds travel time to and from your tour, about an hour for most Albuquerque hotels and the Tamaya.
Hyatt Tamaya special: for guests staying at the Hyatt Tamaya, pickup is $25 per Jeep.
We do not offer pickup in Santa Fe; The Merc is about a 40-minute drive.
