πŸ‘πŸ‘ I took this tour 10 years ago and fell in Love with Albuquerque. I moved back to ABQ about a month ago and still think that this tour is the best in the city. The tour is about 100 mins and gives you a sense of Albuquerque and what it's about. The guides are very knowledgable and friendly.

    Strongly recommend this is the first thing you do on an ABQ holiday. We booked it online well before as we thought it was a good way of familiarising ourselves with the area. it certainly lived up to expectations. You park right by trolley bus in hotel carpark and register inside so it could not be easier. The tour itself was excellent with plenty of photo opportunities, the odd location from Breaking Bad and other films. The trolley car is ideal with shade and open window areas. On our return we tried the restaurant chain in the hotel - it was excellent Mexican food. In fact the hotel itself had a really good atmosphere and the shop was useful before the trip for drinks and sweets, in fact it was very well stocked. After trip we decided to walk to nearby Old Town which you drive through as you return. That is well worth looking round for art, souvenirs and restaurants.

    This tour was the perfect way to see many of the highlights of Albuquerque - from Old Town to Anywhere USA to downtown to the campus of UNM. Our guide, a native of the city, was very informative and fun - without being too cutesy. It was an hour and a half of a great time.

    Great people operate this tour. Never a dull moment. We suggest anyone visiting Albuquerque take this tour before you do anything else. They will highlight so many interesting places.

    This tour is 1 hour and 40 mins long, so a bit longer than in other places. However, if you have the time, it is well worth it! They show you a lot of cool places in ABQ, and tell you interesting and fun stories. Our tour guide, Blake, was very entertaining, and kept the tour at a great pace. We were in town only briefly, and after this tour it feels like we got a pretty good taste of ABQ. Definitely recommended.

    I rented the trolley for a night for my husband's 40th birthday party and it was a HUGE success!!!! We went to 3 different breweries that Jay Blount helped me schedule and it was such a unique, fun experience. Everyone raved about it and had so much fun! Jay was great to work with and so helpful!!!! Thank you to the entire ABQ trolley team for making such an important party such a major success!!!!!!

    This was a great way to get to know Albuquerque. The tour guide had a great personality and made it fun. Can't remember her name, but she was originally from North Carolina. The trolley was in great condition and a comfortable ride. The driver did an awesome job and we never felt unsafe despite the baloon fiesta traffic. We were so glad we decided to do this. You start right in the heart of old town, so theres lots to see and do before or after the tour. Highly, highly recommend, even if you live in Albuquerque and want to learn about the city.

    Very fun little tour of the city and the driver and tour guide were hilarious. They are also dog friendly! You'll get a good lay out of the city ad some pretty good history. It's a very long tour also so you'll get your money's worth! The only issue I had is it was extremely crowded. I had to sit with my feet in the aisle and it's a little hard to balance like that going around corners and such.

    My dog Maddox and I had such a great time on the tour. Such great information shared and great sights to see. Highly recommend this to anyone from ABQ or visiting. Great tour and bonus that they're dog friendly!

    Our 10/17/23 noon ABQ Trolley Co. Tour was so fun and informative! Kristi (tour guide) & Shauna (trolley driver) were awesome. I learned a ton about the area and only wish I'd taken the tour on the first day of our visit instead of the last day! Albuquerque has a ton to offer! Especially loved the story about how the Isotopes got their name AND that we caught a glimpse of the very private Bart Prince emptying his trash;) Additionally, Trissy, helped us with our reservation after we had trouble online. Glad we caught her same day because there were only 3 slots left. Great time. Great value. Thanks, Anne C. & Ann B.

    Well worth the time and ticket cost. City/State history, things to do and general neighborhood locations all fall together with tons of fun facts. Found the Rte 66 Diner on the tour. Best green chili cheeseburger on the planet!

  • 5/5 Sherry H. 11 months ago on Google
    The trolley ride was both informative and entertaining. Unfortunately, it was pretty chilly that day, so if we had dressed a bit more appropriately, we would have enjoyed it even more.

    Big fans of ABQ Trolley Company. We are local, but usually take our out of town guests on the tour to give them a taste of ABQ. Today was no different. We took our friend from North Dakota on the tour and she loved it.

    Great guided tour. Our guide, Maryann, was knowledgeable and made it fun. Highly recommend if you don't know the history of ABQ.

  • 5/5 Karen F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice and knowledgeable tour guide.. there’s so much to see. I will be taking the trolley again soon! Superb Very well worth the money ❀️

    My family and I took a tour in mid April and it was a bit windy and cooler than I would have liked, however, that didn't keep us from having a good time on this tour. I learned a lot about buildings and site I always wondered about. The guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was definitely worth the time and money. My family was not excited about this tour at first, but in the end they said it was a good experience.

    The Christmas Lights Trolley Tour was great fun!! The tour guide was excellent, with interesting facts and trivia games and Christmas sing-along. The route was well-planned and the decorated houses ranged from simple elegance to fabulous, over-the-top. A great way to spend an evening!

  • 5/5 Jenna Z. 1 year ago on Google
    We throughly enjoyed our tour with the ABQ Trolley team. We learned so much and saw a bit of everything. This is a must do tour in the ABQ area.

  • 5/5 S L. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic tour of Albuquerque. I’ve lived here a long time and learned so much and saw so many new sites! Great tour for long time residents, new residents or tourists! Loved it!

  • 5/5 Wayne S. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I were in for the Fiesta. Took the trolley on Thursday and learned so many interesting things about Albuquerque. You could tell the guide enjoyed their work and were very knowledgeable and made it fun. We found out about a lot of places we would have otherwise not known about. Old downtown is a super cool place. Well worth the time and money in my opinion.

  • 5/5 Heather M. 1 year ago on Google
    We just moved to ABQ. This was a fun and informative trolley ride around the city to see the sights and learn more about our new home. Our steady driver β€œnanook” and guide Maryann made this a very enjoyable adventure. The trolley is lovely and rides smoother than expected. I will recommend the tour to family and friends who visit and watch for other unique trolley tour opportunities. The only thing that would improve this tour is small changes to create greater accessibility to be more inclusive for the elderly and disabled persons. A family member could not participate in the tour due to their limitations with mobility.
