Rather than wandering around alone, explore Albuquerque's Old Town in the company of someone who knows it best and can provide context. This group walking tour introduces you to the legends, lore and colorful characters of this historically rich neighborhood while taking you to all the most important landmarks.

Albuquerque is world renowned for its hot air balloon festival. Most visitors only watch balloons from the ground but this tour offers the chance to soar into the air yourself. Watch the sun rise as you fly over the Sandia Mountains and toast the experience with a glass of bubbly. Note that the weight restriction for passengers is up to 275 pounds.

Watch daylight appear above the Rio Grande Valley during a sunrise hot-air balloon ride from Albuquerque, and see the first rays illuminate the rugged Sandia Mountains. Take in stunning aerial views and dip low enough to skim the Rio Grande, then rise back up above the desert landscape. Touch down after your flight, and celebrate with sparkling wine before returning to your launch site.

Explore Albuquerque’s historic Old Town at your own pace with this GPS-enabled smartphone walking tour. Visit landmarks including San Felipe de Neri Church and Old Town Square, as well as hidden courtyards and the candy shop made famous by *Breaking Bad*. Along the way, gain insights into Indigenous cultures, conquistadors, settlers, and trade history—while enjoying total flexibility to pause, explore, and return anytime.

Choosing our launch sights daily makes it a lot more likely your flight is successful. Ballooning is dependent upon the weather and having such a large radius we fly in gives us a much higher likelihood of having a slow soft landing. We offer private flights as well as group flights. We can accommodate almost any requests and we would be happy to do so.
