Have been on several similarly designed city tours but found this one the BEST because it was very intelligently conceived and delivered by co-owners of the business. They covered just enough of history and current events to provide context for the sites we were seeing. They were able to insight into the daily lives of the people and the "things... More

Great way to start out a visit to Albuquerque...nice, concise and very comprehensive..covered all the important spots with a humerous and unique style...learned a lot about the different areas of town....might even be a good tour for locals to take to learn unique aspects of Albuquerque.

As a solo traveler, I like to begin with a bus or shuttle tour of towns I visit to get basic information and the lay of the land. I had checked all the bus tours listed for Albuquerque, and none were available for a solo traveler (required groups, or two or more). I saw the ABQ Trolley listed, but was... More

Great tour. It was very informative and fun. The guys did a great job showing off their city. I highly suggest that you take the trolley for a great tour. A bonus is a discount at the route 66 diner-- great atmosphere. Also discounts at the Sandia peak restaurants-great food and views. The guys do a great job on the... More

An Albuquerque native of 50 years, Mike and Jesse do a great job of making our city proud. I love the fact that they use TV monitors to show the historical pictures of the original buildings they highlight on their tours. Taking guests through actual neighborhoods and giving the history of them was also a pleasant surprise! Even though I... More

It seems like everyone has their hand out when you travel and we thought $25 each was a lot for a trolley tour but it was worth every penny. These guys don't talk about just the tourist spots, they take you into the neighborhoods and tell you the inside stories of Albuquerque that a tourist doesn't learn when they're only... More

Had a really fun and informative tour of most of the areas in Albuquerque with Mike and Jessie, who own the business that they began 4 years ago. Both are graduates of the city's university and really know what might be of interest to tourists, plus know the history of the city, it's historic buildings and areas, as well as... More

This was one of the best trolley tours we've been on since starting our cross country trek from NY. The two owners; guide and driver, started this company four years ago and have done an amazing job piecing together the highlights of "old and new" with built in TV comparisons of the "old" historical buildings and sites and the "new...

Nice ride around ABQ with the trolley guys. For approximately an hour and a half you get to cruise the area in an open air trolley and learn interesting things about the area, culture, architecture and places of interest. We booked trolley for Thursday 5/9 but missed our start time. My wife and I strolled Old Town, had lunch and... More

This tour is only about 2 years old but it was much needed. The two young owners really know the city and give it their all. I saw places that I'd never seen and I used to life in Alb. It's not any more pricey than other trolley tours and we'd taken them in San Diego and Seattle. Make this... More
