This was such a fun and interesting tour! Our guide Emily was the absolute best. She was very entertaining, engaging, and personable. I highly recommend this as an extra activity to fit in to your trip. Emily did a good job of making stories suitable for our kids while keeping it spooky. I’m sure a night tour with older kids would be even better!

Missy was our guide and she was wonderful. My 9 year old grandson really enjoyed it and he would ask Missy questions. Missy explained everything to him and his eyes would get so big. We had a good time and I’m happy we got to experience the tour. Thank you Missy

We booked a private afternoon tour for five because we had a dinner scheduled and couldn't make the evening tours. I'm so glad we did! 'Private' did not mean more expensive, it just meant more personal! We had Charlie the tour guide all to ourselves, and the tour was wonderful. Charlie is a master storyteller. He can help you picture the past until it comes alive around you, and get to know the people he is talking about as if they are in front of you and old and dear friends. He has a great respect for the past, and an empathy for the people he describes. It was a great ghost tour and also a great history lesson. His stories of the past and the vibrant people that lived in old town Albuquerque will stick with me for a long time. I cannot recommend this tour enough. If you are looking for something fun and interesting to do in Albuquerque, this is it. Don't miss it! And ask for Charlie!

SPOOKTACULAR!!!! WOW! WOW! SUPER WOW! Our lil’ family just finished our first GHOST tour with the awesome ABQTours!! It was AMAZING! We were completely ensorcelled as our guide Charlie perfectly delivered tales of Old Town’s spooooooky past! No spoilers here but our guide’s ability to weave so wonderful a tour integrating the mournful details of specific mysteries and tragedies with the fascinating descriptions of long since gone old-tyme ABQ life was marvelous. And further enhanced as we heard these rich words while we strolled and gazed around at the actual historical buildings of Old Town, once home to these tragic events. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Already booked our next private, classic tour (fewer ghosts but more tales of wild wild old Albuquerque!!!!) Thank you Charlie & the whole ABQTours team!!!
