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!

Had a beyond fabulous tour with Charlie today. We were traveling through Albuquerque during COVID and didn't think we'd have any time to experience the city at all. But we decided we couldn't pass up the chance for such a well reviewed tour and it did not disappoint! I am a semi-professional tour guide in Washington, D.C. and I have to tell you that this tour was better than most I have ever experienced. Charlie painted pictures for us so we felt we were living the history and could answer any question we had. Now we feel we must return, and we want to take a ghost tour! Also, the customer service was excellent - we got text and email confirmations with precise directions and information about COVID practices. We felt safe throughout our tour. Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable!

Barb was very pleasant. We were hoping to learn more about the history of the city and not so much about the actual people. Took many names and pictures so it got long

Thank you for joining us and for posting your review. Now, more than ever, your business means so much to small local businesses like ours. We're glad that you found our Guide very pleasant. We strive to share the past history & current vitality of Old Town. Our focus is the heart of Albuquerque - Old Town - founded in 1706 - and the people, the buildings and the stories that made us what we are today. The historic area is only 3 blocks by 5 blocks. (There are City Tours that cover all of the City of Albuquerque.) Thank you for your feedback. We will use it with our Guides.

PJ Met us in the patio behind the Basket Shop in Old Town and was fully prepared to give us a very detailed tour around Old Town. He told us stories about what it must have been to live "back in the day" and held our attention for our afternoon tour. After talking with the students (we toured in a school group with 5 high school students) about what they remembered about the tour they commented on the facts PJ gave us about the defensive tactics used to protect the town and about Scarlett and how she met her demise. We toured on our first day of our Albuquerque visit and learned lots of interesting facts to refer back to as we continue our tour of New Mexico.
