Where to Go: the 6 Best Chocolate Walking Tours in the USA

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 47 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $145Our pick

Walk Taos with a guide such as Lewis or Lesley, visiting the Couse-Sharp Historic Site, Blumenschein studio, Taos Plaza, and Tres Estrellas Design. Learn how local artists shaped American art, watch a weaving demonstration, and finish with a hot or cold chocolate elixir.

“Wonderful mixture of art and local history. Awoke a newfound appreciation for Southwestern art, and the pivotal place Taos holds in development of contemporary art. Well worth the money and time!
