Very professional but fun and friendly guides! We loved our hot air balloon ride. Not scary at all for those afraid of heights. Very smooth ride and landing and a nice little celebration at the end. I would recommend for sure

Johnny and crew were awesome!
The weather is finicky, so the ride may or may not be as far and wide as you might think. Just depends on the weather! It was a pleasure to meet Johnny (balloon operator), and the morning ended up being a beautiful one. Would highly recommend!!

My son and I had an excellent tour by Sam, Allan Houser’s grandson. The tour started with an interesting biographical video of Houser. I walk with a cane and very much appreciated the golf cart that Sam used to show us the different monumental sculptures in the landscape. We had a true appreciation for the genius of Houser. Sam was an A plus tour guide. We highly recommend the tour.

Highly recommend this tour!
Excellent bike tour of Albuquerque! Van, our guide, was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable and always attentive to our safety.One of the highlights was being able to stand right in the middle of the dried-out Rio Grande, with the picturesque Albuquerque Volcanic Field as the backdrop. Such a unique way to experience the area!Highly recommend this tour! 🚴‍♀️🌵

Allan Houser Sculpture Garden and Studio Tour

Unique tour of an underappreciated attraction.
This site doesn’t seem to make it into the guide books, so few people know about it. We enjoyed learning about the artist and his work, but the best thing about the tour is that it is given by his grandson and includes stories about the family, the business of art, the continuing connection to the Apache community, etc., and all told in a refreshingly unpolished and personal way. I hope they find a way to get the word out. They provided ice water and parasols, which we really appreciated.

Best choice ever!
With limited time in Albuquerque, it was the best decision to pick this tour. Anil gave us great information and a good understanding of the history and cultures of the area. He was great keeping us on pace so we could see what was important to us, but without making us feel rushed. We’re still talking about what we saw and learned. This tour was everything we wanted it to be and more.

Four Corners Hot Air Balloons
If you’re like us, you’ve now read 50 of these reviews. We feel especially grateful that we found an experienced company like Four Corners. It’s obvious, their depth of knowledge, experience, and plain “we’ve done this before” was especially evident. We felt incredibly safe from beginning to end. Great communication – great service – great pilot… who (by the way) landed the balloon exceptionally well, and knew exactly where he wanted to land.We’d recommend this company to you wholeheartedly – so glad we chose them!

A great start to the day. Very informative tour, and to top it off, the best pistachio ice cream we have ever had. The selection of roasted pistachios is remarkable.

A walk back in time
They were very accommodating in asking our preferences and being flexible in achieving them. In addition to the “normal “ stops at the historic spots in the city, including museums, they also added some stops at wonderful art galleries where the owners could not have been nicer (with no sale pressure). As it is largely a walking tour, in 90 heat, and we were in our 70s he made sure to take adequate breaks, and made sure we stayed hydrated

My husband and I enjoyed our visit to your establishment. The pistachio ice cream was the best I ever had.We left there to visit the White Sands National Park. 20+ miles later I realized I left my purse at the Pistachio Farm! Long story short, a phone call, a trip back to the Farm and I had my purse back. I think the ladies there who helped me were as pleased and relieved as I was. They refused my offer of a reward and asked only that I tell people about their establishment!

Fabulous Private Guided Tour of Albuquerque
We had an absolutly wonderful tour of Albuquerque that covered the highlights of things to see and do. Not only that, but it was adapted to our wants and needs! For example, we couldn't do too much in the way of hiking, and our guide found a place for us with a walk to see the petroglyphs that wasnt as strenuous as a miles long hike. Our guide was friendly and helpful. I was able to call and text ahead of time with questions and got prompt friendly help. With only one day, it was a thrill for us to see the sights, eat and shop in Albuquerque. You will get a stress-free day of exploring this beautiful city. It is WELL woth it!
