Our son was in town for a brief visit. We booked this tour since it's close to Halloween and wanted something thematic to do. Our guide (Mary) was thoroughly knowledgeable of all the ghost history of Old Town, and did a great job (with the help of Lisa) of providing in-depth information on each haunted location. Thoroughly enjoyable and just a bit scary, but all in all, a family-friendly bewitching experience!

We had so much fun on this tour! It’s very reasonably priced for almost 2 hours of entertaining history, ghost stories, and sightseeing. Our guides, Brandon and Nick, were super knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and professional. Highly recommend for a unique experience and enjoyable evening activity in beautiful Old Town!

The ghost tour was so cool and informative. I loved hearing the historical stories about Albuquerque! We rented the 'ghost-o-meter' and actually had some ghost activity show up throughout the tour. DJ was our guide and she was absolutely awesome!
