I went last night with my significant other, and it's unlike anything I expected. Having lived here…read morefor 20 years and riding my bike around Old Town early in the morning in the dark I had no idea of the spooky forces that existed. I think the biggest takeaway is that when we were doing the tours I was looking for the ghost, but it's after the tour ends and you really start to think about it that really scares you that you might run into a ghost anywhere in Albuquerque.

This was great! Recommend a night full of spiritual adventures. If you like Ghosts you should tryread more

I was standing on the top of a dune at the White Sands National Monument with my sister's husband,…read morelooking out at an impending sunset, when the guy turned to me and said, "Howie, I think New Mexico gets the short shrift when it comes to beauty. This is a gorgeous state, man." I smiled. Preaching my personal gospel. Indeed, there's so much to discover around here, yet somehow the entire state remains somewhat undiscovered. And for most of us residents, that's exactly the way we want it to remain. Our own little secret. Short shrift is cool. But ultimately that's obviously not what we're going for around here, and this company, Food Tour New Mexico, is here to help expose the goods. This tour company focusses on the food (yeah, and drink) that make the state great. They've been operating in Santa Fe for years and recently they've expanded to Albuquerque. They're not taking you on a tour of a White Sands dune, but they're all about educating newbies on New Mexican cuisine, which is worthy of an afternoon of your time. Even locals can learn a little about their native eats; one of my favorite aspects of the tour was the cup of posole and the guided description of the composition of the soup, both Native and Mexican, that completes the recipe. Anticipate an exceptionally enjoyable visit in Old Town, with some huge surprises, and a tour that goes beyond food. Great company.

Nick Peña created Food Tour New Mexico-Albuquerque (and Food Tour New Mexico-Santa Fe) following…read morehis passion for local food and culture. Our tour was informative and delicious! Nick accommodated our sizable group with ease. He graciously guided us through old town, from restaurant to restaurant. It was evident he had a great working relationship with each of the restaurants that welcomed us. We not only tasted yummy local fare at each location, we learned of its history, as well. Each locale had interesting stories; additionally, the architecture should be noted as the structures are specific to this area. Nick provided more local historical facts as we made our way walking through old town. Food Tours New Mexico is a unique way to see Albuquerque. It's great for foodies wanting to learn about local cooking or anyone curious about the area's history. This activity would be great for a fun date night. Or if you are a food lover or enjoy history, you should give this tour a try. I highly recommend.

John with Jadd Fong Travel was so great to work with that we're planning on booking our next vacation with him! We booked our first cruise ever and wanted more guidance than just getting a cheap price online and doing all the legwork ourselves. John has been such a pleasure to work with. From the very beginning he has been professional and he is always smiling, laughing, joking and having a good time. He's been a travel agent for many years and is extremely knowledgeable, especially about cruises. He makes himself available to you day and night and never once made me feel like I was pestering him when I asked him detailed questions. He was able to book us an amazing room with an ocean view for less than what we would have paid just using an online service like Expedia, and he even secured us some on-board credits to use. He took care of everything so that we just had to sit back and wait for our departure date. If you need to book a trip and want a little more guidance, give John at Jadd Fong Travel a chance! You won't be disappointed!

My family and I were thinking of using the transportation provided by Tour New Mexico for the…read moreupcoming Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, mainly because we have a family member who needs special accommodations because he is disabled. Tam went above and beyond to try to find us a feasible transportation option, especially since a lot of Greyhound buses are not ADA compliant. She even contacted the City of Albuquerque to look into options. But unfortunately, the city does not have accommodating options, and at most, the transit shuttle that could be arranged for someone with a disability does not drop off that person and their respective family members onto the balloon field. What really impressed me was that Tam called me back at least a few times to keep me updated about her findings, and she did a fantastic job following up with me! In the midst of these frustrations, Tam was so awesome and she suggested that our family try the "Balloons and Breakfast" event in the morning, or the "Dine and Glow" event in the evening at the Albuquerque Balloon Museum, which she said has some of the best views of the Mass Ascension in the morning and the Balloon Glow in the evening. Furthermore, the Balloon Museum has parking for handicapped visitors and their accompanying family members, and a family restroom, as well as flushable toilets. She pointed out that this would probably be a better option compared to the Gondola Club option, which my sister and I tried last year when it was just the two of us attending the Balloon Fiesta. The Gondola Club is outdoors on the field, with tents covering the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet and the unlimited amounts of coffee and drinks. It certainly is a fantastic option for guests who like to be right out on the balloon field, and who are capable of going all the way out there. However, I can see how challenging it can be for people who are handicapped to go all the way out there, especially since there is no handicapped parking right up near the balloon field. I was so ecstatic that Tam presented these options and I thanked her for going above and beyond! She said that she was just doing her job in terms of trying to make sure that my family and I truly get to enjoy the Balloon Fiesta as much as we can, including our family member who is disabled. I thought that it was incredibly thoughtful of her to think outside the box for us, and suggest ways to make our upcoming trip to Albuquerque a pleasant one for our entire family. She said that she is in the tourism business and this is what she is supposed to do. But quite frankly, I know that not all tourism companies go the extra mile in terms of looking for special or more feasible options for people with disabilities. And some tourism companies could care less about accommodating people with special needs. But Tam really felt for us and went above and beyond to provide us with suggestions that would minimize some of the stress and challenges that we were facing in terms of traveling with a family member who has special needs! I have to say that, if I ever want to go on a tour with Tour New Mexico in the future, I'll definitely check in with Tam! There are parts of New Mexico that I would like to check out further, like the White Sands National Monument in Alamogordo! I visited Santa Fe with my sister last year, but we only really got to check out Old Town Santa Fe. After my experience communicating with Tam of Tour New Mexico, I certainly would love to check out what Tour New Mexico has in terms of showcasing the highlights of New Mexico to prospective visitors!

**If Andrea Wilson can organize OUR European vacation, she can organize ANYTHING! **…read more We just got back from an absolutely AMAZING European vacation, and we have to give a huge shoutout to our travel agent, **Andrea Wilson**, for helping make it all happen! We started in **London**, flew to **Athens**, boarded a Mediterranean cruise that took us through **Greece, Montenegro and Italy**, and finished our adventure in **Barcelona**. There were flights, hotels, a cruise, transportation, different countries, different currencies, and about a million little details that I definitely did NOT want to keep track of myself! Thankfully, Andrea did! From the very beginning, Andrea was patient, knowledgeable, organized and incredibly helpful. She answered all of our questions (and there were plenty!), helped us make decisions, and made sure all the pieces of this big trip came together. The best part was being able to actually **enjoy our vacation** instead of worrying about whether we forgot something or booked something wrong. Knowing Andrea had helped us put everything together gave us so much peace of mind. And this wasn't just another vacation--it was one of those **bucket-list, make-memories-you'll-talk-about-forever trips**, and Andrea helped make it absolutely incredible. We laughed, ate way too much amazing food, drank our fair share of beer and wine , saw places we had dreamed about seeing, and came home with memories we will treasure forever. **Andrea, THANK YOU for putting up with us, answering all of our questions, keeping us organized, and helping us plan the trip of a lifetime!** We will absolutely be calling you when it's time for our next adventure... although you may want to let your phone go straight to voicemail when you see our number. **100% recommend Andrea Wilson. Five stars just aren't enough!**

Fortunately, Jason saw a post I made on Hurtigruten's Facebook page and he asked if he could help. I am so thankful that I turned my reservation over to him! Jason coordinated all the remaining particulars of the trip for me (excursions, additional stays on the front and back end of the trip, and transportation). In the middle of the trip, Hurtigruten e-mailed all the participants about a daylong delay. Within two minutes of my getting that notice, Jason also messaged to let me know. He was totally on top of things and stayed in touch with Hurtigruten to find out exactly what was happening and determine the impact to the rest of our itinerary. The morning I was leaving, Jason texted me at 3:00 a.m. to let me know that the transportation he had arranged for me was waiting in front of the hotel. That is what I call great service! I highly recommend Jason. He was a real lifesaver!
