What To Expect
Albuquerque Old Town
Welcome to historic Old Town Albuquerque! It's amazing to think that this entire city, now so vast, began in just a 10-block area filled with adobe buildings. While we're only passing through, this neighborhood is rich with history and ghostly tales.
This beautiful building is one of the oldest in Albuquerque and in all of New Mexico. While we're just passing by, it's worth noting that it was occupied by the same family for over 200 years!

We had a great experience...

5.00We had a great experience with Alicia (I hope I spelled her name correctly). She was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our time with her. This tour was the highlight of our trip and we would recommend it to anyone who enjoys some history, with a dash of horror.
Worth 15$ no more.

1.00our guide was so distracted, there was literally homeless that kept coming up and talking to us, the guide would take advice to walk the wrong way that wasn’t gonna lead to the next destination, the first half of the tour was ghost stories, but also the dates were wrong for a lot of things and made it less believable the second half one property owner asked us to leave their premises and it was just a bust. I think next time i’ll not be cheap and pay for the 40$ one it really showed me why it’s the cheaper tour.
Great experience but had additional questions.

4.00Melissa was a great guide very interactive. Only questions had were not bring informed sooner about an extended tour, would be great to know before hand. Instead finding out at the end and having to walk back. Plus a reader was supposed to be used and never was. Would have been great if could go into some of the building maybe if able to. But other all was great learning experiences and again Melissa did fantastic job.
Not worth time and money

1.00Do not waste your money!!!!! We were at the meeting spot 30 minutes before the tour started and the host never showed up!!! The company is refusing to give us a refund stating we are in the wrong.
Exceeds expectations

5.00Very interesting stories that made me go home and research. The hour length was perfect. The guide was very personable and a great story teller! We are two younger women and felt very safe with her due to her knowledge of the area and down to earth attitude. She has certainly exceeded our expectations and price was much more reasonable than other programs similar (without the annoying megaphone)📢 ! Thank you so much for the great time!
Awesome!
