Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts Tour

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

Outlaws, Lawmen & Ghosts Tour

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

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

Ghost Tour of Old Town

Hello,

Diane 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 Diane 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.

Ghost Tour of Old Town

My name is Hayley. My friend and I are on a cross-country trip, and last night we stopped in Albuquerque and decided to take the Ghost Tour. Our tour was led by Blake and Hillary, who did an excellent job. I know that Tours of Old Town works with ghost hunting organizations in your area, so I thought you might pass this story along to them to help in their investigation.

We were on the tour, when we walked into one secret location. In the outer chamber, everything was fine, but when we walked further in, I started to think that something was wrong. When people started taking pictures in there, it felt like something started pressing hard on my chest. This was before Blake started telling the story of the lady who supposedly haunts the building. As he talked, I grew more and more upset, and almost felt like I was being driven from the room. When I left the building, the feeling started to lift, and by the time I got to the street, it was completely gone.

I have no explanation for what happened. I didn't feel that way in any other spot on the tour, even in places with much more frightening stories. I've never had any sort of experience with ghosts or the paranormal. The only explanation that presented itself is that I was wearing a pendant of a Central American goddess?

Hopefully the ghost hunters can find some use for my story, and if not, it's still a creepy story for the kids. The tour was very entertaining!

Ghost Tour of Old Town

It was an amazing tour with you this July night. I think it was the 3rd of July 2007. Vince and Stephanie were my Tour Guides.

I have taken two pictures with (what it looks like) orbs.

Have more experiences and go on with your important work!

Greetings and love from Switzerland

Ghost Tour of Old Town

Hello,

I just wanted to write and tell you how much we enjoyed the Ghost Tour of Old Town. We went on the Tuesday, May 29 tour.

I do want to share an interesting experience we had that night. I looked at my watch when we left for the tour and noted to my wife that we were right on time at 8 p.m. Later, I looked at my watch and saw it was 8:35 p.m. I thought this seemed quick considering all that we had seen, but I didn’t say anything. When we got into the car to go back to the motel, I looked at my watch and compared it with my car clock. It was exactly two hours slow. Now, I had not changed my car clock to Mountain Time, so I expected my watch to be one hour behind my car. It was two hours behind. I checked with my wife’s watch, and sometime between when I checked the time at the beginning of the tour to the time before we got to the 3 rd to last stop, I had lost exactly one hour on my rechargeable battery watch. The fact it lost time wasn’t so strange, but the fact that it was exactly one hour off was peculiar.

I just thought you might be interested.

Thanks again for a wonderful (and a little bit chilling) evening. Julia & Pat were fantastic Tour Guides!

Sincerely,

Karl, Sarah, & Nathaniel B.

Ghost Tour of Old Town - Private Group Tour

I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed the Old Town Ghost Tour on Saturday night.  I have heard nothing but positive feedback from everyone in my work group who attended.  Not only were the ghost stories fun and interesting, but the Albuquerque natives were surprised to find that there are parts of Old Town that they didn't know were there.  Ever since the tour, many of us have been sharing the stories that we learned with our friends and family, and encouraging them to take the tour.

Just for fun, I am attaching the one picture that we had taken from the tour.  When I had taken this picture, the digital camera shut off even though the battery was fine.  When I turned it back on, there was an "orb" shape to the bottom right of the bench, as well as a dimmer "orb" below that.

Thanks for a fun evening, the Tour was super!  Take care!

Ghost Tour of Old Town

Just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and found your Ghost Walk informative, oftentimes fascinating. I have already recommended it to several people, including a current co-worker (and former Albuquerque resident).

Thanks again for making our trip to Albuquerque memorable,
