Ghost Tour of Old Town

Legends, folklore, ghost stories and history come to life as you depart on an intriguing excursion through 300 years of haunted history. Old Town was founded in 1706, and for more than three centuries people have lived and died around the Old Town Plaza. The historic buildings and dark alleys conceal the long-forgotten secrets of battles, murders, hangings, and hidden cemeteries.

Casa de Feista in Old Town
Professional Tour Guides escort you on a 90-minute, lantern-lit adventure. You will search for the lost souls of early residents, Civil War phantoms, spooks, specters, wandering apparitions and over one dozen other ghosts who have made Old Town their eternal home.

Learn the history and basics of Ghost Hunting from our own certified Paranormal Investigators. Hear the chilling stories of actual events. Old Town is one of the most actively haunted locations in North America. Residents, employees and tourists have all experienced unexplained phenomena. From actual sightings of full apparitions which seem to vanish impossibly into thin air; to disembodied voices heard in empty buildings; even objects moving mysteriously on their own.

Come with an open mind and bring your digital camera. Guests have captured many curious unexplained phenomena in photos taken during the tour.

Review the evidence, and then decide for yourself the possibility of the existence of ghosts.

Outlaws, lawmen & Ghosts

Dead man talkin ~ Dead men DO tell tales!

Do you like Ghosts? Do you like Magic? Then you’ll love the interactive 90-minute tour hosted by the character of Albuquerque's first Town Marshal, Milton Yarberry! This unique experience features exciting true stories of Old Town's ghosts, mysteries, & history blended with unbelievable magical effects.

 

When Yarberry comes back to “visit”, you’ll find him almost as quick with his remarks, as he was with his six shooter. A bit short tempered, we don’t let him wear his hardware, but that won’t stop him from occasionally shooting off his mouth.

.
Rest in Peace

Milton J. Yarberry was exactly the type of man who laid foundations for the American West, pursuing his personal obsessions all the way to his date with a noose. Truly a subject of gallows humor. A MUST SEE in Albuquerque!

As you journey through the heart of the historic area, you realize that the art galleries, restaurants and retail shops of today were once wild saloons, rough gambling halls and numerous "houses of negotiated affection." Hear how corruption, scandal and lawlessness plagued Albuquerque with the coming of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in 1880, bringing the need for law and order.

Now you can experience Old Town through the eyes of Constable Milton J. Yarberry who, after being convicted for murder himself, met his fate at the end of a hangman's noose in 1883...

  • Advance pre-paid reservations only!
  • Tour takes 90-minutes
  • NOT suggested for children under the age of 13 due to Adult subject matter
  • Private Outlaw Tours may be scheduled for Groups of 6 people or more

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts Tour starts at 9:00pm on:

Ghost Tour of Old Town

I took two Ghost Tours last week when I was in Old Town.  I am still somewhat a skeptic but I found it to be lots of fun and had a good time both times I went.  The tour guides were really good.  I took some pictures which I will upload to my computer this weekend.  I hope that I got something. Thank you for running such great tours and I really enjoy them and I would recommend them to everyone who  visits Old Town.  Thank you again.

Ghost Tour of Old Town

We had a wonderful time on your Ghost Tour last evening with Mykie and Diane.  Very informative and fun. We took several pictures that contained a few interesting "extras". Even if our photos didn't capture "ghosts", the historic learning and letting our imaginations take flight during the two hour walking experience is what will stay with us, while taking pictures merely added to "mystery element" of the tour. We throughly enjoyed getting out into the night air and allowing ourselves to experience the curiosity and innocence that children naturally employ. Your tour content made it very easy to "play". 

We were not disappointed!

Thank you,
 
Mike & Janet

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts

I attended the "Magic Tour" of Old Town led by Milton Yarberry two weeks ago and I found it to be very informative, fascinating, and fun. The man who played Milton was extremely entertaining and I learned a lot about Old Town history that I'd never before heard or seen, despite having lived here 56 years! I'd recommend it to everyone as a great way to spend an evening and learn about some local colorful history!

Thanks,

Steve G.

Ghost Tour of Old Town

Honestly, the ghost tour that I took with tour guide Blake was so awesome I did not even really notice that it was freezing cold outside.  Blake was very interesting.  He lead the group through old town telling us stories and entertaining us.  He his hilarious and fits in with the tours personality.  He never tried to by scary in a cheesy way.  I also learned a lot of interesting things about old town.  This new knowledge gave me perspective, and made the tour more exciting. Living here in albuquerque, I have recommended this tour to many local people.  I also recommend it to visitors coming into town for a little local spice.

FIVE STARS - GHOST TOUR COMPLIMENTS!

Ghost Hunting Tour

We had such a great time last night!  Even though it was a quiet night, it was still a success in my mind because it not only served to reinforce my interest in this field, but it also showed me that anyone can actually get involved in it.  I've heard over and over that people have developed an interest in the paranormal and have gotten involved because of personal experiences; well, I've never had a personal experience and a part of me always wondered if that would limit my ability to truly get involved.  Having said that, last night I realized that anyone can learn to use the technical tools involved and they can also work towards developing a greater sense of awareness. I appreciate the opportunity offered, as this "tour" was unlike any other tour I've participated in. 

Thanks again,

Angelica

07/23/07 – Robert D.B. – Albuquerque, NM

Ghost Tour of Old Town

I would like to thank Tours of Old Town for a truly informative and entertaining tour on Saturday evening.  Diana, our tour guide, and Tim did an outstanding job of bringing the ghosts and history of old town to life.  I am a life long resident of Albuquerque and a descendant of three founding families of Albuquerque and have always enjoyed spending time in Old Town with my children but until Diana's incredible tour on Saturday, I was completely unaware of some of the more interesting aspects of Old Town.  Our tour group consisted of all Albuquerque residents and Diana did a superb job of keeping everyone hanging on her wonderfully woven tales of ghostly things and historic background.  I was so impressed, I am planning on returning for additional tours as Diana and Tim have suggested and will bring more people with me.  My two sons who were also on the tour could not stop talking about how exciting and informative it was.  I wish their teachers at school were as dynamic and interesting.  Keep up the great work!  

Regards,

Robert DB

07/22/07 – Kim C. – Bakersfield, CA

Ghost Tour of Old Town

Hello,

Diana and Mykie are fantastic tour guides.  In fact, they actually were better than the Ghost tours I had in the California Gold Country, San Francisco, and in London!  They were very knowledgeable, animated, professional, and considerate.  I was especially taken by how much respect they had for the spirits they spoke of.  I was inspired.  They also had a very calming self about them and although I was a lone traveler, they made me feel safe from spirits and those drinking too much spirits…

On my grand tour of New Mexico this last May, I wanted to take a Ghost Tour in Santa Fe but no one at that company ever returned my call.  That company had two days to call back but did not. On my way back to Albuquerque, on my way to Carlsbad, I decided that I’ll try your company.  I left a message on the office machine less than two hours before the tour and Diana actually called me back.  I had just arrived at my hotel and was rushing over to Old Town with about ten minutes until the tour.  Diane gave me great directions and I was able to make the tour.  I really commend your employees for being highly professional.  I could tell that they were really on top of things.  They are an excellent team.  You have such outstanding guides!  

Thanks again for an amazing tour. May your company thrive with each passing year.

Sincerely,

Kim C.

Moonlight Ghost Tour

(Alibi BLOG) I did the coolest thing last weekend. I was trolling around the net and I found this new “Moonlight Ghost Tour of Old Town Albuquerque.”

Yeah, I hear you—I absolutely hate going to Old Town during the day because it’s hot, crowded, touristy and makes me wanna break things and say bad words. However, the idea of going on a nighttime tour and hearing stories of ghosts, whorehouses, drunken brawls and more ghosts was quite appealing and hangover-free.   I and my companion, Ike, showed up at 10 p.m., paid about $20 each and spent the next two hours being entertained, and even scared at a couple of points. I won’t spoil it for you, but there is a maxxed, turbo-creepy thing at the end. Anyway, check this thing out, because the tour is fun and the guides, Diana and Mykie, know their stuff.

Moonlight Ghost Tour

HI,

I just wanted to say that the full moon tour that I recently went on was very fun, we went to some different spots which was very nice.  I’m looking forward to doing it again.

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts

I recently took the Milt Yarberry tour and just wanted to let you all know how thoroughly I enjoyed it. I'm from Albuquerque and thought I knew all about the area, but the tour provides lots of fascinating historical info & anecdotes. I also found the magic routines that punctuate the tour highly entertaining, and that Yarberry character is a stroke of genius!

Thanks,

JH
