👍👍 We did a private ghost tour with Charlie as our tour guide. He was amazing and the tour was incredible. We’ve done several ghost tours in multiple states/cities and this was by far the best (and creepiest) one we have ever been on. It’s a easy walk (no hills) with multiple places to sit if you need....

    Just got back from our private tour with Craig! It was excellent. Craig is a passionate storyteller who clearly cares for his craft and thoroughly enjoys sharing stories of the strange, spooky and surreal happenings around Albuquerque’s old town. As a horror wroter and fan, I was especially impressed with Craig’s sense of timing and knack for detail. His stories never go overboard, and are well-built to give you a real sense of unease. Worth noting is that my group was three adults who all work in the entertainment industry - Craig adapted to our humor and taste quickly, and was courteous to check on any boundaries we had regarding taste and content. Of course, we were all in, but I appreciated that he did this. I myself am an experienced tour guide, having worked for years in Chicago with multiple companies. Craig was considerate and alert, always sure to point out anything we might trip on or walk into along the dark paths of his tour. Beyond Craig, the experience was exceptional. The location is easy to find, and they have water and restrooms available to guests at the top of the route. The route itself is an easy stroll around old town - no stairs, no tight alleyways. This is a well planned tour that is certainly accessible and accommodating to all. I could not recommend it more, and will certainly be returning!

    Had a really great Ghost tour experience with Craig and Jaime! I try to do a ghost tour in every city I visit across the country and this one ranks pretty high on my list. The stories were very solid and engaging. Our guides were so energetic and wonderful story tellers. Thank you for the History and ghost stories.

    Just did my first ever ghost tour with Charlie as my guide, and I think I’ve been spoiled from future tours. Charlie’s fantastic storytelling was backed by his great enthusiasm and genuinely wonderful personality. The stories were all diverse and spooky and rich with history. What a memorable way to be introduced to Albuquerque. Highly recommend.

    There were 5 of us last night and we had a blast! Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable! It was a leisurely walk around old Town and we appreciated the extra touches of hearing EVPs from different spots on the tour! It was memorable & We will definitely do it again!

    I went on this tour on Halloween night with a few other very large groups. Brad was an excellent guide - his storytelling was engaging, fun, and funny. Old Town at night feels like a different world, and whether you are a “believer” or not, you will be entertained. I’m glad I made this part of my trip to Albuquerque.

    Our tour guide was amazing! She was so into her stories and made the whole tour fantastic! I’m not usually into ghost stories but she had a way of bringing you in with her excitement and dramatic gestures. I would not have guessed Albuquerque had such an intriguing history. I would definitely try it out!

    First time in Albuquerque and decided to join my friends on the spooky walking tour of Old Town. Great storytelling with hosts Jamie and Susan. Interesting tales of the town, it's history, and past residents who haunt the area...be sure to dress warm and watch out for the spirit animals that come to greet you on their nightly prowl!!

    Erica and Lin (idk spelling) did a great job guiding us and making us feel safe on our late night tour! I did not see any spirits but the tour was very entertaining and spooky. Erica was a great storyteller; I got emotional at times and learned a lot about Albuquerque’s history! I would absolutely recommend this tour for anyone living in or visiting Abq at least once. There’s also a delightful cat that apparently interrupts every single tour.

    This was me and my husband’s first ghost tour, and it was absolutely awesome! Not only was it spooky, it was filled with really cool history about Old Town Albq. Charles was our guide, he is awesome at his job and is someone we could talk to for hours! As soon as the tour started, I took a photo of the church in the square, and it turned out pretty creepy. Call me crazy, but if you look closely in the center of the photo above the church, you can see a face! Whether your a true ghost believer, or someone who just enjoys some history, this is a really cool stop in Albuquerque.

    It's one of the best ghost walks I've been on across the country! You definitely have to take an evening of your trip to Albuquerque to stop in and hear all the interesting local tales of Historic Albuquerque! We had a great guide who took us through the entirety of Old Town, stopping to tell so many spooky local stories along the route. I would highly recommend this tour if you do, or even if you dont believe in ghosts, you learn so many interesting things that I didn't even know living here for years! The walk is about 2 hrs long and is a very slow pace with many stops, many of which have a seat for you to rest if needed so very easily walkable!

    The tour is fantastic!!! Our guide Erica was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail. I’m a history buff and the knowledge gained is worth the ticket price. This is a must do when in Albuquerque.

    I had been looking forward to this tour and Craig, my tour guide, did not disappoint. Enjoyed the history, the stories, the sites, the advice, and all things about this tour. Highly recommend it! Definitely worth your time.

    Fantastic!!! If your lucky you might see a ghost or 2. So fascinating learning this history and hearing all the stories. The tour guides are magnificent! I may have even captured a photo or it might just be a reflection but it looks pretty ghostly wedding dressy to me…

    Loved our tours with Charlie. He is a very talented speaker. His voice is so mesmerizing. What an experience, first we did the history tour and then booked the ghost tour. The story telling was excellent and the history so enjoyable. Thank you for all the fun and interesting stories.

    Beautiful night of story telling. Took the 8:00 pm public tour with our teens 17 and 14. The group size was 17 and didn’t feel too large. Charlie was our tour guide and he does an amazing job of weaving each of the 5 stories. It did rain quite heavily during about 30 minutes but the guide had covered spots for each of his stories and we stayed almost completely dry. This tour was a FULL 2 hours so know that the 8:00 pm tour won’t end until 10:00pm. Each story at each spot takes between 15-20 minutes there are some places to sit at some spots but be prepared to stand for long periods of time. There is plenty of free parking available at the 8:00 pm tour. Great for families of all ages! The 14 year old said it was her favorite activity of our time in ABQ.

    I booked a 12:00 p.m history tour with Misty and the weather was perfect. I met her at Don Luis' Plaza where the headquarters are before we took off for a stop-by-stop tour of historic old town. I learned many things I never knew about Albuquerque and Old Town, and especially enjoyed the way she explained facts to me while having photographs to back them up. She has an infectious personality and is an excellent baker. Her cookies are as delicious as the rich history that fills the streets of one of the oldest towns in America. Bravo, Misty! Amazingly good treats await.

    Unique way to explore Old Town. The ghost stories were great and the tour was so entertaining! Our guides (Charlie and Darrell) were fantastic and made the experience even better!

    We did the tour on 08/06 with Charlie and Isabelle and it was amazing! This was my first time doing the tour and I don’t know why it took me so long because I really enjoyed it. Charlie was a wonderful tour guide and really have a beautiful experience and had a wonderful storytelling voice. We will be recommending all of our friends and family and look forward to going on other tours! :)

    My 11 year old loved it. The tour guide was great—funny too! We liked the Scarlet story so much we went back after 10 pm to see if we could see anything in the alley . I snapped but a picture from my car bc I was too freaked out to go into the alley. It does look like there might be something down there…standing by the white wall by the gate. I added a zoom in and a day shot to compare.

    This tour was amazing! My son and I did it and it was rich with history but also interesting spooky stories. Charlie was a fantastic story teller!

  • 5/5 Bryan Q. 8 months ago on Google
    Such an awesome experience! Definitely recommend anyone that is in the Albuquerque area to reserve your spot on the tour. All the history, stories, and lore told by Erica and Darrell were very interesting. They were a great guide duo; would love to come back and have them as my guides again. They kept the group engaged at all times, were very knowledgeable on the lore, and provided some great supporting material to the stories told. 10/10 would recommend to anyone (tourists and locals alike).

    My son (14) and I had the most amazing time. Our guide, Alison, was just fantastic. She was engaging and witty which made her a wonderful storyteller. It was so fun to hear about some of the old Albuquerque history. We had no idea about the fascinating things that took place right in our own little city.

  • 5/5 Maddie W. 2 years ago on Google
    The reviews on this place are definitely right! We are from Georgia and going to be in Albuquerque for 3 months. We enjoy things like this and have started to get more into the haunted things. Ashley was our tour guide and she definitely made sure to keep us on our toes and help visualize what she was talking about. We captured a really creepy photo of a man which I will attach below, zoom in to see on the left hand side about the middle. I definitely recommend everybody to come out and take this tour. It was also raining which made it even more spooky.

    Took the tour on Saturday. Craig was our guide. He was personable and really knowledgable on Old Town. Really enjoyed the tour and spending a couple of hours hearing his stories!

  • 5/5 Natalie F. 4 months ago on Google
    We loved our ghost tour tonight! Erika was a perfectly dynamic storyteller, and Edwin kept us physically and spiritually safe. My 2 elementary-aged kids really enjoyed it - just spooky enough without it giving nightmares. We highly recommend! Our credentials: we've been on 20+ ghost tours throughout the US. This is one I'd come back for!

  • 5/5 Dominique G. 1 year ago on Google
    I went on this tour last night with my fiancée, my friend, and her girlfriend and I cannot say enough about how wonderful our tour guides, Charlie and Edie were! It was spaced out perfectly and the tour took about two hours. The price is well worth it! They were animated, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour enjoyable and spooky in the best ways. If you decide to go on this tour, definitely ask for Charlie and Edie!
