Santa Fe Selection Travel Guide -

Kerri Hiley

I was excited to find such a valuable resource in Maria! With a busy travel schedule for work, I was short on time to try and put together a fun trip to Santa Fe with family. Maria listened to what I was looking to create and she went to work! She put together a fabulous itinerary for a fun weekend in Santa Fe! I found Maria easy to work with, very responsive, and full of ideas! I would highly recommend her services, she knows all of the best places and things to do in Santa Fe!

Maria completely arranged my visit to Santa Fe for me: hotel, wine tasting, meeting artists, a Thanksgiving Dinner. She even recommended shops and restaurants for me to visit: when I mentioned that Santa Fe Selection had recommended I visit, I was treated with a special friendliness. Maria was completely attentive and sensitive to the special needs imposed by my disability on my travel plans. Really, Santa Fe Selection is like a Native American blanket: Maria pulled the four corners of New Mexico towards me and I felt totally cosy in the Wild West. Thank you, Maria!

“Maria’s insights were invaluable as I planned our girls getaway trip to Santa Fe. With her love and overall knowledge of the area, she helped curate an itinerary that was filled with Santa Fe’s very best. With her strong vendor relationships it allowed for seamless and easy coordination across all activities during all phases of our planning. She was prompt, responsive and available when ever we needed her. I contribute the success of our trip to her service.”

Santa Fe Selection is a well set-out and useful website, with excellent above-and-beyond assistance from Maria. Working in the hospitality industry here in Santa Fe for over a decade, I have recommended Santa Fe Selection since it started. Both the online and mobile apps are terrific and regularly updated, and it is a very useful tools for visitors and locals alike. I also hand out the little Santa Fe Selection fold-out maps on a daily basis to the public, as they are the best in town.
Two thumbs up to Maria, keep up the great work!

In planning our trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico, Santa Fe Selection was recommended to us and I couldn't be more pleased that it was. Maria Johnson at Santa Fe Selection, took a great deal of time to help us plan an itinerary that was tailored to our interests. Not only did she provide us with a great deal of information that helped us make our choices, she even went so far as to book reservations and follow up to make certain we were pleased. When we arrived at our hotel, she had a packet of information waiting for us to review. The map she provided was simple to follow and made finding our destinations very easy. She's extremely knowledgeable and an expert on the area. Without question, Santa Fe Selection made our visit exciting and memorable. I wouldn't plan a visit without contacting Santa Fe Selection.

After being referred by the Santa Fe CVB, I recently worked with Maria from Santa Fe Selection to help coordinate three social events during our annual conference. After sharing our budget, Maria did a great job coming up with a number of options for us to consider. Once we made our decision, she took care of every last detail! She even came to the start of each of three different activities to make sure everything went off smoothly. As I told her, she made me look like a superstar! She also helped with coordinating overnight accommodations for one of our participants when the hotel we were using was sold out. She is a lovely soul, and an absolute pleasure to work with... a very calming presence who was on top of the whole planning process and kept in touch throughout. Would highly recommend her services if you are coordinating from afar, or even once you're in Santa Fe.

Our trip Sante Fe. I came across (Maria's)Page “Santa Fe Selection.” I read that she was a local and that she was willing to concierge my vacation to Sante Fe. I was in at any cost. I was surprised the price was so affordable. In fact with the discount cards she gave us paid for her service and saved us money. Her guidance saved us tons of time planning, and she confirmed reservations for everything we did. She was a pleasure to work with and together we created an unforgettable authentic Sante Fe experience. Maria was quick to reply to calls or emails, she was always available to answer questions. She was genuinely concerned that everything she recommended was perfect and it was. I wish there was a Maria in every town I travel! Don’t gruel over the internet and decisions about your trip, give Maria a call and start enjoying the process of planning your Santa Fe experience now. Guaranteed ease and great times.

Maria, owner of Santa Fe Selection was a great asset for me during the planning stages of my trip to Santa Fe. I now understand why the word “Selection” is part of her company name. Maria uses information she gathers from you to select the best place for you to stay (within your price range), side trips that you will enjoy based on your interests and the best restaurants – and the best shopping based on her personal reviews and experience.

I stayed in a cute little casita just two blocks from the Plaza…within walking distance of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, La Fonda, and Kowboyz for great boots, Casa Chimayo for the best New Mexico cuisine in a fun setting…. On and on….

Maria did not forget about me once I arrived either; she contacted me and dropped off discount coupons for museums and spas.

I will visit Santa Fe again and I will contact Maria to assist me again.
