We've lived in Albuquerque for 11 years now and just because my daughter was visiting us, we would use that as an excuse to do the Old Town Ghost Tour last night. I'm a bit of an Albuquerque and southwest history buff and my daughter has been, quite literally, really hearing and seeing spirits since she was 7. No kidding.... More

Thank you so very much, Tom! We're glad that your Daughter encouraged your attendance, and that we provided you with a memorable "Old Town Experience"! One of our favorite Tour Stops because of stories like yours! We greatly appreciate your recommendation. More

We hadn't planned on taking a walking tour but we found ourselves in Old Town without other plans and we're really glad this was what we choose to do. We didn't actually have to walk that far it's really only a few blocks but the guide regaled us with non-stop stories about the colourful history of the area. More

If you go to Old Town the best way to appreciate the sight is to take a tour. Our guide Pat Ward spoke almost non stop giving us a taste of the area. You can walk around for free or pay up and really understand the buildings and history by going on this tour. More

We had a very informative tour with Pat Ward. He spent over an hour and a half with us walking around Old Town. He loves his town! More

This is an informative, historical tour of Old Town where you also learn the art of ghost hunting. The private tour six of us took is something that will stay with me. We were a diverse group, skeptical and educated. We left quite surprised by the science, loved the history and wished we came with more cameras than we brought.... More

My husband, brother, sister and I all went on the moonlight ghost tour at 10pm. It was fun and informative. Not only did we get to hear about urban legends and spooky stories but some history as well. The tour guide Meredith was extremely energetic and entertaining. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in ghosts and... More

In all fairness both our tour guides were pleasant. The first seemed to go out of her way to make the tour free of fright, which was disappointing on a ghost tour. The Old Town history was somewhat interesting. However, not worth $20.00 a person. More

We're disappointed that you didn't have a totally wonderful experience during the Ghost Tour! We strive to provide an honest account of the Ghost Stories and a realistic presentation of the evidence collected during the 10 year's worth of investigations in Old Town. We are not a haunted house and our goal is not to "scare" people. We could "Hollywood"... More

I know that I was spoilt for this tour as it was just the tour guide and me, however Pat was so good that I have no doubt any tour he takes would be excellent. This is a walking tour around Old Town and Pat has such a huge knowledge of the history of Albuquerque. This knowledge is augmented by... More
