San Felipe de Neri Church
Visit one of Old Town's defining landmarks, rebuilt in 1793 after the original church collapsed following heavy rains. The surrounding churchyard once served as a cemetery, and stories persist of shadowy figures moving through the church and mysterious lights near the altar.

Old Town Plaza
Stand at the historic heart of Albuquerque, founded here in 1706 along El Camino Real. Hear two of Old Town's stranger legends: the Hatchet Lady, said to stalk couples after dark, and “Old Sarge,” a Confederate ghost supposedly still guarding artillery buried during the Civil War.
10 minutes here
Covered Wagon
Hear one of the tour's best ghost mysteries: the story of Scarlet, a red-haired woman supposedly murdered on a staircase during Prohibition who is now said to haunt the building. But there's a twist—a ghost hunter uncovered historical evidence suggesting the famous legend may have happened somewhere else entirely.
5 minutes here
Explore a part of Old Town once surrounded by saloons, gambling halls and brothels.

Visit one of the oldest surviving homes in Albuquerque and meet the tour's signature ghost: Sara Ruiz. Employees blame her for thrown silverware, slamming doors and disappearing keys—and according to legend, you'd better say “Goodnight, Sara” before leaving, or she may follow you home. greg Albuquerque Walking Tour

Enter one of Old Town's oldest and most famously haunted buildings, dating to sometime between 1750 and 1785.

La Jornada
See the massive bronze sculpture depicting the 1598 arrival of Spanish settlers led by Juan de Oñate.

Old Town Albuquerque's Famous Ghosts Self Guided Walking Tour App: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Albuquerque.
How much does Old Town Albuquerque's Famous Ghosts Self Guided Walking Tour App cost?
+
Prices start at $8 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 Old Town Albuquerque's Famous Ghosts Self Guided Walking Tour App 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 Old Town Albuquerque's Famous Ghosts Self Guided Walking Tour App worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Old Town Albuquerque's Famous Ghosts Self Guided Walking Tour App?
+
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 Old Town Albuquerque's Famous Ghosts Self Guided Walking Tour App 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 Old Town Albuquerque's Famous Ghosts Self Guided Walking Tour App?
+
Around 0 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 Old Town Albuquerque's Famous Ghosts Self Guided Walking Tour App 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.
