    Don't Bother with this!

    This was not a great experience. While the Guide was nice - she just wasn't very good. She did say she was new. She will probably improve. I read that some people got large food portions - we did not. While all tasted great it was really spicy and was not enough food & it took a very long time. We thought it was an art & culture & food tour - was not expecting ghost stories. It seems like she really didn't know what was doing. The price was way too much for what we received.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations. It was my very first Balloon Fiesta guiding, and Old Town was especially busy that week—I truly appreciate your patience and understanding. Our goal is always to offer a fun, flavorful mix of food, art, and local stories, and I’ll be reviewing pacing and portions with our partners to ensure more consistency. Thank you again for joining us and for helping us continue to grow. Warmly, Cara

    Only if You Like it Spicy

    Lots of spice. Some food and wine tasting but not enough to justify the cost. Have done other tours and they were more rounded in giving different samples of local food.. Local restaurant sample of frito pie server said they were busy so they left out the beef because we had some beef in our small sample of green chili stew.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for joining A Taste of Old Town Food & Art Walking Tour! I’m sorry your experience wasn’t as complete as expected — Balloon Fiesta week was especially busy for our partner restaurants, which impacted a few tastings. We truly appreciate your patience and feedback as we continue improving our tour. I hope you still enjoyed exploring Old Town’s unique art, food, and culture! — Cara

    A Generous Tour of Old Town!

    Having got enough history at the nearby museums, we booked this tour to experience the food and culture of old town Albuquerque. Our guide was funny, kind and responsive to our needs. She whisked us all around the area showing us interesting shops and feeding us so much food I couldn’t finish! In particular I loved the tasting of red and green chile and the posolè was my favorite! I took the opportunity to buy special one of a kind gifts for upcoming holidays. This isn’t a ghost tour, but we were treated to plenty of local spooky stories as well. It was a delightful way to spend the afternoon and we came away full and happy!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m so glad you both enjoyed your time exploring Old Town and hearing its stories. It means a lot that you took the tour and shared your experience! Thank you again.

    do not book

    Cara was very pleasant and really wanted to make the tour work. It did not!!! The food selection were very good with large meals but that is the only positive thing I can say. There was no knowledge of art or history of the area. It felt like a shopping and eating tour. Very disappointed for the price we paid.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the tour did not meet your expectations. My goal is always to create a meaningful experience that highlights the incredible food, artisans, and locally owned businesses of Old Town. I truly appreciate your thoughts about the balance of art and history, however this is not a history tour. I’m glad you enjoyed the food selections, and I value your honesty—it helps me improve.

    Check this tour out!

    Great eye opening adventure into the art and uniqueness of Albuquerque that I would not have been able to see on my own. It was also a great pace with opportunities for a bite or a drink - highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Awwww! Thanks so much, I'm so glad you had a good time! I had a great time too!

    A Food and Art Walking Tour through Old Town ABQ: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Albuquerque.

    How much does A Food and Art Walking Tour through Old Town ABQ cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 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 A Food and Art Walking Tour through Old Town ABQ take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours 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 A Food and Art Walking Tour through Old Town ABQ worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Albuquerque, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule A Food and Art Walking Tour through Old Town ABQ?

    +

    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 A Food and Art Walking Tour through Old Town ABQ suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book A Food and Art Walking Tour through Old Town ABQ?

    +

    Around 2 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does A Food and Art Walking Tour through Old Town ABQ 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 8pm ORIGINAL Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque - since 2001!, Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Ride at Sunrise, ABQ Trolley Co. | Best of ABQ City Tour. 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.
