I took the Ghostwalk Tour with this outfit and was very disappointed. I've done ghost tours in many places around the U.S., from Gettysburge to Bisbee, AZ, from Monterey, CA to Chicago, and they are usually well done by people who are real ghost/paranormal buffs, as well as history buffs.
My complaint about the Historical Walks offering is that the guide, Allan, really wasn't someone who's a paranormal expert or buff, but a historian who seemed to have a very hard time staying on topic--ghosts. He was extremely long-winded about all kinds of historical minutiae, but short on ghost stories. We spent the first hour, an HOUR--just sitting in the La Fonda Hotel lobby while he droned on and on with the "introduction." I literally dozed off. And I love ghost tours and history. The ghost walk was very short--the old hospital and La Posada, and the hanging tree. I'm sure there's lots more in the area, isn't there? At La Posada he spent more time talking about the furniture and chandeliers than the ghost stuff. There are plenty of historical tours, but someone looking for the ghost tour is getting a short shrift with this one.
This guide, Allan, seemed to think he was teaching a class rather than acting as a tour guide. In short, it was boring.
Also, the promotional cards and website insist guest make advance reservations. I had to call twice to get a call back, and the person calling was extremely rude. Really poor customer service, and a disappointing ghost walk. There are other operators offering ghost walks, including one called "Original Ghost Walk of Santa Fe." I'm going to check that out. In other cities and towns, it is often the original one who is the real expert. read more
