Trolley city Tour

The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining! Loved seeing all the beautiful murals. I was happy that I got to see all areas of Albuquerque, including downtown, different neighborhoods, etc.

Hi Stefanie, Thank you for taking the time to leave a great review! We're so glad to hear you have an awesome time aboard the Trolley! Hope to see you aboard again, soon, and thank you again! 😎

Uncomfortable seats, quick turns, no safety hand holds,! Again, seats are slippery and not safe for seniors ... 😥

Carla_D, Oct 2023

Getting off the trolley safely ... Nope! So you only want good reviews ... I was taught if I couldn't say something good, to say nothing at all ... Nothing!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hi Carla, I'm so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the tour! We absolutely appreciate the feedback, and it sounds like you really did not have a good experience. With that being said, if you reach out to managers@tourabq.com with all your information, we'd be happy to issue a full refund. We really want to make this right, so please know we take all reviews to heart and try to resolve any issues. Thank you!

Beautiful weather, great...

Alison_P, Oct 2023

Beautiful weather, great introduction to the art, beauty, and history of Albuquerque. I would absolutely recommend this as a stop for first time visitors. It gave us a lot of good ideas on what to do while we were here too.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hi Alison, Thank you for the great review! That is exactly what we had in mind while creating this tour, to make it the "best first thing to do in Albuquerque," and to give you and idea of what to do after you're off on your own. Thank you! 😎

Loved ABC Guided History Tour

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hi Scott, Thank you so much for the excellent review and recommendation! We really appreciate you taking the time to give us some feedback, and we hope to see you aboard again, soon! Thanks! 😎

Not worth it

EMMANUELLE_D, Sep 2023

Even though the guide and the driver were awesome, there’s nothing to see in Albuquerque. They drive you all over town just to try to make the tour relevant. Depressing town, not worth it…

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hello, Thank you for the feedback. We are thrilled to hear that our guide and driver were awesome, and do appreciate you saying so. We have worked very hard to create a tour that includes the fascinating and detailed history of our beloved city, and are disappointed to hear that you did not feel the same way as we do. We do hope that by the end of the tour, you at least caught a glimmer of what we see in our complicated, yet amazing city. We thank you for your honesty.

Great way to see the city.

WELL WORTH THE TIME

bill, Jul 2023

We thought it was a great way with our limited time here to see and learn about Albuquerque. Wish there were fans or a/c but can't have it all. Recommend to new visitors. Tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi Bill, Thank you for the review! We appreciate you taking the time to let us know what you thought about the tour. It has been an exceptionally hot summer here in ABQ! We're recommending that everyone bring water on the Trolley! Hope to see you again, soon!

ABQ Trolley Tour - Well Done!!!
