5.00Our guide Misty led us around Old Town sharing history and anecdotes. She made the information entertaining with her energy and deliver. We recommend this tour to appreciate Albuquerque’s long history that makes Plymouth Rock seem relatively modern. I was struck by the flooding and retreat of the Rio Grande River and how that shifted growth. Following the tour we ate lunch at a family owned place that Misty recommended and our food was delicious!!
Interesting, fun, informative
