Best tour ever - There could be no better character to give voice to the tongue-tied multitudes of TorC. Carla is wholly capable of delivering the morbid, sordid, and laughable stories of ghosts past with an air of articulation and sufficient layers of sassy sweetness. Cogent, clear, and funny, Carla's stories reveal depth and through research. Truths are no trivial thing, after all. 10/10 would recommend

Good Fun History (and Story) Telling - Carla was great! She knew the history and the legends and told both well while making clear which was which. We did the driving tour (she joined us in our car) and I would recommend this option as you’re going to get to see a bit more.

Great tour! - Interesting and fun! Carla was entertaining and had great stories to tell! Despite having been to T and C several times, we discovered many tales that we’d never heard before!
Would highly recommend!

Not the typical tour - Carla clearly cares about grounding her tales in research as well as local legend and her theater background made for an entertaining experience! She was able to accommodate our small group on a Tuesday. Scheduling through TripAdvisor was simple and she communicated with us to confirm the arrangements. Appreciated the mid tour restroom stop as well as recommendations for other local businesses.

A Fascinating and Bone-Chilling Tour! - On a cold night a week ago, our group sauntered up to meet Carla to commence our night walking tour of T or C. An hour later, we were amazed at how much we had learned, and in some cases a bit frightened :) Carla's tour made us appreciate and seek out more knowledge of the history of T or C. I would recommend it fully, cold weather or warm! I hope to return to visit again one day

Fun informative - Carla is fun and engaging. She has researched her stories well. She collects stories and folklore from the area and tells them with passion. Being from New Mexico some of her stories I had heard of in childhood others ate part of more recent history. She has shed new light and more detail to them.

Gruesome fun in T or C - Very fun and informative. We're New Mexican and had heard some of the stories before, but our tour guide has done her research and had all the gruesome details. Would recommend it for a fun 2 hours.
