This tour was amazing, from the eerie setting to the fun that the tour guide was. This all brought it together and I am ecstatic to go again one day and hopefully bring some friends!

DJ was our tour guide and she did a fantastic job. I love a good ghost walk and this one did not disappoint. It was rainy with lightning in the distance, further adding to the spookiness! I will definitely bring my family back for this tour in the future when they come to visit! Lots of history of ABQ bundled in as well, so even if ghosts aren't your thing you're still getting a great Old Town history session.
