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 !

Mostly Shopping! - We had hoped there would be more history present. The church was beautiful on the outside; interesting center of the community centuries ago but now, unfortunately, “Old Town” is just shops. There are certainly shops with true artists; there are also some touristy shops. There were a couple of historical restaurants that were very good. If you’re looking for something with more history, this might not be your thing.

Not worth the time! - Very difficult to start and navigating. Not worth the hassle so we quit after 20 minutes and just toured the old town on our own. Much less fuss.

Wanted a smartphone walking tour- got a dumb app with no tour - DO NOT WASTE your money!! The walking tour app at least on APPLE is non-functional. You can't input this tour anywhere- indeed the explore button only gives you a blank screen- you can't even input the city and state to look for the tour. So far I haven't heard from anyone to help nor have I gotten a refund. STAY AWAY if you have an iPhone!!!!!
