Everyone loves a good old-fashioned Ghost Story!

Professional Tour Guides escort you on a 90-minute, lantern-lit adventure through the scenic Old Town Albuquerque area. You will search for the lost souls of early residents, Civil War phantoms, spooks, specters, wandering apparitions and over one dozen other ghosts who have made Old Town their eternal home. Learn the history and basics of Ghost Hunting as you hear the chilling stories of actual events. Old Town is one of the most actively haunted locations in North America. Residents, employees and tourists have all experienced unexplained phenomena. From actual sightings of full apparitions which seem to vanish impossibly into thin air; to disembodied voices heard in empty buildings; even objects moving mysteriously on their own. Tour is family friendly but is rated “PG” for some real historical information that may be disturbing to younger or sensitive guests.

We do NOT attempt to dictate what you should think or believe. Skeptics Welcome! You’ll learn a bit of Old Town’s History, hear the reported Ghost Stories, review the Paranormal Evidence and then decide for yourself the possibility of the existence of Ghosts. Come with an open mind and bring your digital camera. Guests have captured unexplained phenomena in photos taken during the tour.

This is a fun, old-fashioned , Ghost Story style Tour. We are NOT a Haunted House. No one is jumping out at you - or if they do, they are not with us! We ae not a Ghost Hunting or a Paranormal Investigation Tour (Though we do those from time to time). We do not use cheesy magic parlor tricks. We tell you the reported Ghost Stories, we share the past history of that location and we show you the evidence collected my various Ghost Hunters and Paranormal Investigators during the past 18-years.

Most of the Tour locations are operating businesses. We do not usually go inside the buildings during the Tour, we reminisce from the outside walkways. Merchants invite you to come inside and take a look during their regular business hours.

ABQ Tours at its Best - Charlie was a superb tour guide. He made the history of Old Town ABQ really come to life. He tells the stories with passion, as though he himself has lived all those stories. It is so rare these days to go on a tour where the guide engages the guests into imagining the long ago, the long bygone era, except maybe to ask the obligatory “So where are you folks from?” With Charlie as a guide, though, I felt like I was part of the story, even if, in reality, I was just a tourist wanting to hear some of the dark history. I’ve been on a couple of ghost tours before, in other states. But this one somehow seemed more real or genuine. And there was definitely a level of respect with the past, with the preservation of the past, and with the harsh—sometimes seedier—realities of life in the West hundreds of years ago. Thank you for an amazing experience.

A+ - I was the only person on the 6pm private tour. However, Charlie tailored the experience to my request "ghost stories with a sprinkle of history" and he didn't disappoint. He is a great storyteller as he went into detail about the ghostly tales of Old Town and tolerated my questions. At the end of the tour since it was late and rainy, I was lucky enough to have one of his colleagues walk me to my car and got a cookie out of it too. Great customer service! Thank you!
