This past Saturday marked the kickoff of our 2024 season, and I couldn't have been more thrilled to be back in action offering tours.
The experience of being back on the tour route, guiding new guests, and sharing my love for Albuquerque history was reinvigorating. It filled me with a sense of excitement and hope that this year might surpass even the success of the first season in 2023.
But the excitement doesn't stop there! I'm thrilled to announce not one, but two new tours coming your way.
First, get ready to step back in time with our Century of Steam Rail Yards Tour. Delve into the vibrant history of Albuquerque's Rail Yards during the 1920s with this immersive tour. Held once a month, this free walking tour offers participants an opportunity to explore the bustling world of the Rail Yards. Learn about the architecture, stories, and significance of these historic structures in shaping Albuquerque's past. The inaugural Century of Steam Tour will take place on Sunday, May 5th at 10 am to coincide with the Opening Day of the Rail Yards Market.
But that's not all! I'm excited to announce a partnership with ABQ Artwalk to bring you a free murals tour. Dive into the colorful world of downtown murals during the monthly ABQ Artwalk festivities. These walking tours will showcase the diverse array of murals adorning the streets of Downtown Albuquerque, providing insights into the artists and stories behind each masterpiece. The first of these tours will be at the next Artwalk on Friday, May 3rd, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. We'll meet at ArtStop—Artwalk’s outdoor marketplace featuring artisans, food vendors, and music at the corner of 7th and Gold. Special thanks to Visit Albuquerque for sponsoring these tours!
