Emily and I had a delightful time. She was knowledgeable and entertaining and catered my private tour to my own pacing and preferences. The tour was full of the history and characters that make Old Town unique. She invited me to sit at most stops, in accommodating my mobility issues. Excellent. A must do.

Misty was our tour guide, & she was a hoot! Very entertaining story teller & intuitive about when we were starting to get tired (it was our 1st full day in Albuquerque & we were still getting used to the altitude). Old Town is such an interesting part of town, & we loved learning more about it.

Misty did a great job and the kids loved her little enactments, like the guy getting 3 shots thru his hat. She was very good.

The tour was great, and Misty was so enthusiastic and fun. She interacted with all of us so well. She was so informative and took pride in her tour. It was great to see someone love what they do for work. I will definitely refer your tour on her friendliness and knowledge alone. We had a great time and now I can pass that knowledge along next time I'm with family and friends in Old Town.

Most of our team has lived in ABQ all our lives, many had never been to old town or in several years. Everyone learned something new and got something out of the tour. History of Albuquerque and our Old Town is fascinating.

Third time to visit Albuquerque. First time to take a history tour. Completed my understanding of the development of a city from its geographic, social, political and historic developments. The guide was well prepared and knowledgeable . The tour was not strenuous and minimal in distance but packed full of information. It stimulated my interest in further pursuit of learning.
