Emily was excellent! Small group made for a fun, personalized experience. Glad we came for Spring Break. My 12 year old, who loves ghost stories and horror movies, had a blast and wants to do more tours like this. A good, easy 2-hour walk.

Brandon and Alan braved the cold with us to tell us even more chilling stories while informing us of the history of Old Town ABQ. Brandon is a great storyteller while also respecting the spirits that may still remain trapped in this place due to the nature of their demise. Would definitely love to book again with a different spot!

Itinerary

This haunted tour takes you and your group to several spooky spots in Albuquerque. You’ll stop at some, and just pass by others, with maybe some time for a photo or two.

Your first point of interest is the Old Town Basket and Rug Shop. After passing this, you’ll be in Albuquerque Old Town, where you’ll spend a few hours hearing loads of ghost stories and all about the old town itself, which is over 300 years old.

Make sure your cameras are ready to capture some haunted images, plus take photos of Albuquerque landmarks, like the Covered Wagon. You’ll also pass the American International Rattlesnake Museum, Old Town’s Poco a Poco Plaza, and San Felipe de Neri church. Your guide will tell you about them, especially their links to murders and hidden cemeteries. If you’d like to explore them further on your own time, it’s up to you.

Do not miss this tour!

Sue_H, Nov 2025
I had no idea Albuquerque had such a rich ghost history. There were 16 oeople on this tour, many of them locals, and I was the lone tourist from out of town. The others had brought gear tobdetect paranormal activity... so they were serious ghost chasers! I had taken the historic tour that afternoon, so Ibthought there might be a lot of overlap, but it was amazing! Misty is a great tour guide, and she told the ghost stories of the same places I had been with her hours before, with stuff I hadn't heard on the earlier tour. Seeing places at night is also different. Some of the folks got pictures with ghostly images. I highlybrecommend this tour, not to be missed. Even with two tours the same day with the same guide, it was extremely interesting and fun!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

👻 Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review! 👻 We are thrilled to hear that you were so captivated by Albuquerque's rich ghost history and enjoyed the tour so much! It's wonderful that you found the material unique and engaging, even after taking the historic tour earlier in the day. Our guides work hard to ensure the ghost tour offers fresh, exciting stories and a different perspective—especially when exploring those historic spots after dark. Seeing the locations at night certainly adds a unique atmosphere! We love that you got to share the experience with a group of dedicated local ghost chasers; it sounds like they brought great energy to the tour! We appreciate you taking the time to write such a glowing recommendation. We hope to welcome you back on another tour the next time you visit!

Loved it!

Jeannine_V, Nov 2025
We enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide, Misty, was great and informative. We are just passing through and decided to stop in Albaquerque and do a couple of tours. It is interesting to find out about the ghosts who are still around the old town and their stories. It is also good to know research was done to tell the stories as accurately as possible. We took picture and actually see an orb in a couple of our pictures of the covered wagon..
