What To Expect

Albuquerque Old Town

Certified Tour Guides dispel the rumors and myths with authentic information about the “Duke City” as they escort you on an exciting adventure through time. Embark on a 75-minute , guided, leisurely stroll which takes you through the streets and alleys of one of the oldest towns in North America. Life has flourished in the Land of Enchantment for thousands of years. Many early American Indian tribes inhabited nearby pueblos and the Spanish Conquistadors explored the Southwest in search of the mythical Seven Cities of Gold. Old Town was founded in 1706, over seventy years before the United States became a country, and has thrived on the banks of the Rio Grande for centuries.Our #1 Ranked Walking Tours are held most days and evenings in the historic heart of the Duke City! We know the sights, sounds, flavors, people, shops, products, places, photo opportunities and all of the unique things that give visitors the complete “Old Town Experience”. Whether you're visiting Old Town for just a few hours or for several days, we ensure that you won't miss a thing! Uncover Old Town's unusual and well-hidden architectural details. Reminisce about the early southwest pioneers’ daily struggle to survive. Relive the sights and sounds of the Civil War as Confederate soldiers entered the Plaza. Imagine early merchants as they traveled the Santa Fe Trail for trade. We specialize in informative, interesting and entertaining outdoor walking tours which share a wide variety of interesting trivia and historical facts in the heart of the Duke City. We provide memorable experiences for both locals and visitors to the Land of Enchantment. Old Town has continued to thrive for over three centuries on the banks of the Rio Grande River. It wasn't until January 6, 1912 that New Mexico was admitted into the Union as the 47th State. Merchants traveled the nearby Santa Fe Trail and the El Camino Real in search of trade. Explorer Zebulon Pike stayed on the Plaza, held captive in the rectory of the San Felipe de Neri Catholic Church. According to U.S. vital records, Soldiers including General Stephen Watts Kearny as well as Confederate General Henry H. Sibley each occupied Old Albuquerque. Wild West legends as Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and Billy the Kid are each rumored to have passed through Old Town The coming of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad caused a move to New Town in 1880. But later, the arrival of the Mother Road (Route 66) brought people back to Old Town in the 1930s. A visit to New Mexico is not complete without tasting our renowned chili (red or green). Many souvenirs for your friends back home can be purchased in Old Town including turquoise, Kachina Dolls, chili ristras and pottery (The cultural corridor includes museums and other attractions in close walking distance) If you're visiting in December, do not miss the Old Town Holiday Stroll and festive luminarias!

Our tour guide Barbara was exceptional. She was quite knowledgeable, engaged, and enthusiastic about showing off her town. We learned a great deal about old town Albuquerque, history, architecture, and people who built the town. Barbara was pleasant, friendly and a great tour guide. I would highly recommend taking this tour.

Hi, Diane! Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words about our tour guide, Barbara. She loves what she does and I’m happy to hear that she made your experience with us a memorable one! It sounds like you had a great time exploring the History, Legends and Lore of Old Town with us. We hope you'll join us again. Perhaps, next time, you'll try the nightly Ghost Tour of Old Town? Happy Travels!

The tour guide, Barbara, was very friendly and helpful. The afternoon was a bit warm and she made sure we were comfortable and in the shade as often as possible, with places to sit when appropriate. She was knowledgeable and did a good job of explaining the history of the area. The reason for the low rating is that this tour is over-priced and not worth what we paid. The Plaza is very small with not much to see. Most of what we learned could have been read in a couple pages of a tourist guidebook.

Thanks for joining us, Bentley, and for posting your review. We use your feedback to train our Guides and to improve the experience for every guest. We're thrilled that your Guide was all that a Tour Guide should be - friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and good at explaining the history of the area while keeping you comfortable and shaded from the high desert sun. With 9 historic structures right on the Old Town Plaza (many listed on the historic properties register), 315-years of history took place in a small geographic area. As a small business that has been open every single day allowed during covid; without any City, State or Federal grants, loans or any other assistance, we too look forward to both travel and the economy "normalizing" so that we can go back to pre-pandemic pricing. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We hope that your entire visit to New Mexico is nothing less than enchanting!
