The tour was interesting but difficult to hear in the greenhouse and outside. I love your mission and believe you are pioneering innovative and environmentally sound techniques for building homes. Good luck!

Really enjoyed the tour. We had only 4 in the group, so we could ask lots of questions. SO interesting to learn about the construction of the homes. We applaud the work that y’all are doing in disaster hit areas.

The information that was explained was great, my only disappointment was that the tour didn't show not one structure in it's entirety we saw mostly the greenhouses that were attached to the structures and even then that was only 3 of them.... And it seems the only way to see them in its entirety is if you rent them

Really enjoyed the tour and Minan (sp?) was an excellent guide. Very informative and the creative approach developed by Mike Reynolds and his biotecture team over the years is so impressive and clever. Everyone who cares about sustainability must see this community!

So, I did the Earthship tour in summer 2018, and it was so fabulous, I convinced my friend to come with me on our trip to Taos. Well, it wasn't the same at all. Our tour guide was enthusiastic and gave lots of types of information--kudos to them! But that could've been done in 45 minutes, so the script could use revision. When you revise, please include more info, such as how window and interior wall orientation in the different seasons creates climate control. In other words, the six panels in the learning center at the very end of the tour is what the tour needs to show us and explain to us. More importantly, though, is that last time, we went into several different Earthships, not just the two plant spaces of two Earthships by the visitor center. It's really missing something when you can't see the whole house and how it functions. Not sure if the deletion is because of the new rental business you're in or ? But last time we drove to several different places and got a "show" not "tell" experience. Can't say I'd recommend this tour as it is now to other people. That's a shame because the project is so worth it!
