My adult daughter and I spent a wonderful two hours walking the streets of Albuquerque's Old Town with Bobby, traveling back in time to learn how this historic city has evolved. Bobby is an engaging and knowledgeable guide, patiently answering our many questions. I have toured with Heritage Inspirations many times and I cannot recommend their trips and tours enough. They are the real deal.
