We had a great experience with Alicia (I hope I spelled her name correctly). She was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our time with her. This tour was the highlight of our trip and we would recommend it to anyone who enjoys some history, with a dash of horror.

Not worth it. Was expecting a more detailed history about Old Town of Albuquerque. Not gost stories that were not pertaining to New Mexico.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re sorry to hear that the tour didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it must have been to not get the detailed history of Old Town Albuquerque you were hoping for, and that the ghost stories didn’t feel relevant to the area.
Please reach out to us at guestrelations@tourismo.com
with the name your booking was under, and we’ll be happy to assist you further.
Thank you.

Very interesting stories that made me go home and research. The hour length was perfect. The guide was very personable and a great story teller! We are two younger women and felt very safe with her due to her knowledge of the area and down to earth attitude. She has certainly exceeded our expectations and price was much more reasonable than other programs similar (without the annoying megaphone)📢 ! Thank you so much for the great time!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thanks so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that the stories inspired you to research more and that the guide’s personable style and knowledge made you feel safe and comfortable. We’ll definitely share your compliments with her. We hope to welcome you back for another great experience!

I liked it until the outright plea for a tip. Made for awkward moments amongst participants. And we despise surveys, especially while were traveling..

We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour itself, and we’re sorry that the request for a tip and the survey felt awkward.

Dina_S, Apr 2025
Really enjoyed our tour last night with Brandon! He has lived in Albuquerque for 32 years and passionately knowledgeable on Old Town’s history and ghostly haunts. We felt so lucky to have had the tour with him and would highly recommend taking an hour out of your evening for this tour. The town pretty much shuts down at 8pm anyhow, and he will explain to you how and why the ghostly energy that comes out at night is pretty much the reason why!👻
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Hello, Dina! We truly appreciate your feedback—thank you! Brandon has such a strong connection to Albuquerque, and we’re so glad that came through during your tour. We’ll make sure he gets your kind words. Hope to see you again for more tales after twilight!
Evelyn_M, Mar 2025

Response from Host, Apr 2025

We do ghost tours in every city we visit, and this city’s did not disappoint! Brandon was knowledgeable about the history and culture, and respectful of the “ghosts and energies.” Even for skeptics (including me), these tours are always a great way to learn the history of a city and specific places.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
This is what we love to hear, Annette. Thank you for joining us, and for this great feedback! We're glad Brandon took excellent care of you. We hope to see you for another tour with US Ghost Adventures in the next city you visit!

Brandon was very knowledgeable about the ghosts and the history of ABQ. He was also empathetic with the ghosts’ spirits. We also paid to take the extended tour. So worth it. Thank you.

Great time; very historic; great information and knowledge from our tour guide Brandon. The tour focused around the plaza; not a long walking; shared history of early families and settlors. I think I caught an apparition at Casa Armijo.

It’s fantastic that you might have had a spooky experience at Casa Armijo! We’ll be sure to share your compliments with him. We hope to see you again for more intriguing tours!

Loved the background history of Old Town and the diverseness of the settlers of Albuquerque . Didn't see any Ghosts (a good thing) but certainly gained an understanding and appreciation of various cultural beliefs.

It was very interesting and our guide made sure to include all the details of the ghosts. The most interesting was probably about the confederate soldiers still hanging around the square
