Albuquerque Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Outstanding tour and guide. Engaging and informative.

My husband and I celebrated my 80th birthday with Daniel, his mom and their ground crew in the hot air balloon ride over Albuquerque! We loved how friendly and helpful they were throughout the whole adventure! I had a little trouble getting in and out of the basket but they knew just what to do. The champagne toast at the end included a prayer and everyone wished me happy birthday. Be sure to find a bathroom somewhere before you get to the meeting spot-we almost missed the transport van!

Fantastic experience and that’s saying a lot for a person who is afraid of heights. 😃 We were lucky enough to ride with Justin, co-owner of Elevated New Mexico. The entire experience was very well coordinated. They were communicative leading up to our ride. They let us know what to expect all the way up to take off. They sent text messages the night before to ensure we knew about weather updates that may occur and were just the best.The flight itself was amazing. I am afraid of heights. Justin put me at ease with his attention to detail and his methodical approach to the flight. He is personable as well. The ground crew, which included his wife Keisha, were well choreographed and a pleasure.

Very informative. I grew up in Albuquerque and was surprised to see so many things that I had never seen.

What an amazing experience! Alfred, Elroy, and Ethan helped make this adventure even more special. This was our first balloon ride, and it most certainly will not be our last! Thank you!

Great experience excellent guide and driver would recommend 100%

We had a blast on this tour! The guides are really fun and enthusiastic, and they have lots of cool insider knowledge about the production (some of them even worked on the show). Tons of photo ops and superfan moments. Pack some water, comfy shoes, and get ready to nerd out in the best way possi ble. A great way to spend a half day in ABQ, highly recommended!

i had so much fun with my fiance! we are locals but we have never spent time learning about the history of old town or its ghosts! we will be back!

Our experience was wonderful. The crew was amazing. I am so happy to have had this experience and can’t wait to go again!

Truly wonderful experience, even better than imagined. Daniel is an exceptionally experienced and capable "driver". Soft touchdown, lovely post flight champagne toast. Highly recommend.

It’s an excellent, stress free way to see the important locations from the series. Enjoyed it immensely.

The High Noon tour was great, with interesting historical information. Our tour guide, Mary, was very knowledgeable and helpful. My 86 year old mother was able to keep up, no problem, and Mary found all the shady spots on a hot summer day. We really enjoyed it!

Very good and comprehensive, you really see everything, informative and the best locations and filming sites, the RV is cool

Excellent service extremely fun time. Host was awesome...definitely book this tour it was fun and amazing

Misty was a great tour guide! She was full of fun facts about the history of Old Town Albuquerque . She was very friendly and pleasant. Highly recommend taking this tour!

This was a very informative, easy to use, audio tour. It really made the old town come alive for me and I enjoyed it so much more than I would have from a paper map or written product. The voice used was so appropriate to the area and entertaining. I will be using this product many times in the future!
