A Spooky AND Scandalous Tour - Love It!!!
This tour was so much fun! It’s the first one we have done in Old Town and it was perfect! You don’t usually hear about the scandalous tales of scorned lovers, secret brothels or a Hanging tree doing a normal historic tour. Mary’s enchanting storytelling really made the tour! Andy was great too! He answered questions during the tour, kept all of us corralled and did great at taking pictures!

Great stories!
We had a great time with Charlie as our guide. Not too scary for our 11 year old, either. A great way to cap off my mom's 70th birthday trip!
via Tripadvisor
Story Telling
Charlie was a great story teller. He brought the experience to life. I enjoyed learning about the past and the unfortunate events that created the ghosts stories.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review. We are delighted to hear the storytelling brought the experience to life for you. We hope to welcome you back on another tour soon.

Brandon is awesome!
Brandon was an awesome guide! He is an excellent storyteller and we appreciated how he shared what’s verifiable and what’s not. The rain made a spooky experience even spookier, and Brandon was kind enough to make sure we all had umbrellas and he tried to keep us as dry as possible.

NACCA
Fun tour. According the EVP, Sarah liked me. Our guide, Vincent, was entertaining and knowledgeable.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the 5 stars! Glad you had fun on the Original GHOST TOUR — and that Sarah liked you! Hope to see you again!

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8pm ORIGINAL Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque - since 2001!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Albuquerque.
How much does 8pm ORIGINAL Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque - since 2001! cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Albuquerque usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8pm ORIGINAL Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque - since 2001! take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Albuquerque is not rushed.
Is 8pm ORIGINAL Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque - since 2001! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 957 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Albuquerque, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8pm ORIGINAL Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque - since 2001!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 8pm ORIGINAL Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque - since 2001! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8pm ORIGINAL Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque - since 2001!?
+
Around 335 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Albuquerque can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Albuquerque and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8pm ORIGINAL Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque - since 2001! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Albuquerque within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Albuquerque?
+
Albuquerque is balloon country: sunrise flights over the Rio Grande valley, plus Sandia Peak tram rides, Old Town and Route 66 tours, petroglyph hikes and Breaking Bad location runs. Weather-cancellation policy is the thing to read before booking a flight. On Outty we rank every Albuquerque experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Ride at Sunrise, ABQ Trolley Co. | Best of ABQ City Tour, High Noon History, Legends & Route 66 Lore - Tour of Old Town. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Albuquerque?
+
October for Balloon Fiesta, otherwise April to June and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Albuquerque?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
