The Best of Albuquerque & Santa Fe

Up, up and away! Witness a spectacular display of hot air balloons ascending into the clear blue autumn skies of New Mexico during the annual Balloon Fiesta. This southwestern getaway features the historic cities of Albuquerque and Santa Fe and the beautiful scenery of mountains and valleys which surround them. From green mountain forests to deep, rugged canyons to colossal mesas, the topography of New Mexico is as varied as any place in the USA.

The Santa Fe Trail came through the park, as did the original path of Route 66. The Civil War brought the Battle of Glorieta Pass here, where Confederate ambitions for the Southwest stopped. Visit Loretto Chapel, home of the miraculous staircase with two 360 degree turns & no visible means of support. Guided tour of Santa Fe – America’s old state capital. Dinner in Santa Fe.

Day 3

Rise and shine and enjoy the Chasers Club at the Balloon Fiesta Grounds. Breakfast and open-air seating here.

Tram ride to the summit of Sandia Peak. Dinner at El Pinto Restaurant.

American Classic Tours is based out of Chicago. Because many of our travelers are from the greater Chicagoland Area, all of our tours begin at one of Chicago’s airports. If you are from out of state or country, you can join us via a “land-only” tour package. A “land-only” tour is the exact same as our “all-inclusive” tour except it does not include airfare. Your tour director will meet you at your destination airport and lead you to meet the rest of the group on the first day of the tour.
