Easy to follow, informative. The sites were interesting. There are restaurants and stores in the area too.

Walk through hundreds of years of beautiful history!

This walking tour of Old Albuquerque was perfect for our little tribe of friends. We could ‘pause’ when we saw something that we liked and move on easily when we were finished with that piece of history. We started at a darling cafe and finished at High Noon a little taverna with great eats Thank you for the perfect walking tour !

I can rate this as my cell phone service was affected like millions who use Verizon very disappointed 😔

Narration was pleasant and directions were easy to follow

We only had three days in Albuquerque and Santa Fe and this gave us the highlights to plan for a longer stay in the future.

Great little tour

Elizabeth_B, Jun 2024
Enjoyed setting our own pace, being able to spend extra time where we wanted. Liked all the info and history. Directions were great. We only lost our way once, and that was our fault 😆. Would be a five, just felt it could’ve had more.

Albuquerque Walk-in Tour

Jennifer_B, May 2024
Lots of interesting facts and stories about Albuquerque history. The narrator is entertaining, and the sound effects are fun. I’ve done this to tour twice with different people and enjoyed it both times.

Disappointed

Charlene_M, Oct 2023
They are not flexible with the booking. My vacation flows. I attempted to access my audio tour the day before I booked it. But was denied based on policy. It’s an audio file… what kind of policy is that.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi! You can take this anytime, it never expires! And it definitely works the day before, or after :) You do need to get the WalknTours app, as mentioned in the ticket instructions the tour is on WalknTours app. Viator sells the tours, but me, WalknTours, is the operator. Email me at info@walkntours.com and I’ll send you a copy of the ticket, you can take the tour anytime, as many times as you like, it’s your tour :). Important note for travelers, when you click the ticket read how to take the tour, that has your ticket instructions to get the app and take the tour :)

Nice way to see Old Town

Walk was pleasant and informative. We had a little difficult with following the directions towards the end and map could have been labeled better.

Very informative and easy...
