Ghost Tour Volunteers: Learn History & Meet Clients

GAAR is partnering with Rotary Del Sol to help ABQ Tours this fall. Both organizations will share a $4250 donation for their non-profits but we need your help filling volunteer roles. 


Meet potential clients, learn ABQ Ghost History & earn money for the REALTOR® Fund!

ABQ Tours provides the public and visitors Ghost Tours of Old Town on the weekends each fall for six weeks. Tours range in size from 10 to 30 guests with up to five Tour groups operating at the same time. A volunteer's primary duties will be to ensure guest satisfaction and safety and to assist the Professional Tour Guides during a 2-hour Ghost Story Tour.
